The Precision of Science.
The Connection of Relation.

I've spent 25 years bridging the gap between searching for truth as a journalist and spreading understanding as a teacher.

Why "Scientific & Relational"?

Most tutoring fails because it's either too rigid or too vague. LuminAIT combines evidence-based analysis with deep student connection.

The Scientific Bent

Analytical writing isn't magic; it's a system. My background in technical journalism taught me to deconstruct complex ideas into clear, verifiable parts. At LuminAIT, we treat texts like data—mapping every chapter, device, and theme (our "Kernel" method) so students have concrete evidence to build their arguments, not just "vibes."

The Relational Bent

But data means nothing without connection. Teaching in IB schools across the world (Xi'an, EtonHouse) showed me that confidence is the biggest variable. By understanding your child's specific school context—their book, their assessment, their pressure—we build the trust needed to take intellectual risks.
