Mr. Lux is an outstanding and highly professional English teacher who has taught extracurricular reading and writing to both of my sons, despite their very different personalities and learning styles. He has been able to connect with each of them effectively and tailor his approach to help them grow.

His curriculum is well structured, rigorous, and engaging. He provides thoughtful assignments that strengthen critical reading comprehension, along with timely, detailed, and constructive feedback on student writing. His guidance consistently encourages students to think more deeply, organize their ideas clearly, and develop stronger written communication skills.

Mr. Lux’s instruction not only helped improve my sons’ SAT scores and their performance on a competitive school admission assessment, but also built lasting analytical skills and greater confidence in English learning. The benefits of his teaching have continued well beyond the class and have positively influenced their academic growth in the years since.

I give Mr. Lux my strongest recommendation to any family seeking an exceptional educator who combines expertise, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to student success.

Mr. Lux absolutely transformed my son’s writing.  Though he earned high ELA grades in school, we knew that the assignments weren’t challenging for him and that his teachers didn’t have time to elevate his writing to his potential.  When we contacted Mr. Lux, he asked us thoughtful questions about our goals, and he presented us with a detailed plan for what he planned to work on with our son.  Mr Lux took our son’s interests and abilities into account and always provided him with choices between several engaging writing assignments.  When our son submitted an assignment, Mr. Lux was very prompt and specific in his feedback.  Writing is extremely hard to teach well, and Mr. Lux’s individual attention and detailed analysis sparked within our son a new understanding of what it meant to express ideas clearly and with supporting evidence.

Additionally, Mr. Lux’s supplemental video sessions were instrumental in our son’s dramatic score increase on the Reading and Writing section of the SAT.

Finally, we give full credit to Mr. Lux for our son’s acceptance into a very challenging, rigorous school that places a high emphasis on writing.  Prior to working with Mr. Lux, our son applied and was declined admission, but through the skills, knowledge, and resilience he gained through his time with Mr. Lux, our son was accepted into the program, where he is now thriving.

Mr. Lux doesn’t just teach writing—he teaches kids how to think, organize their ideas, and express themselves clearly. That kind of skill carries over into every subject, not just English. I’ve seen a noticeable shift in my son’s confidence, not only in writing but in how he approaches problem-solving overall.

If you have a child who struggles with writing or simply needs stronger critical thinking skills, I highly recommend Mr. Lux. He has a unique ability to meet kids where they are and help them grow in a way that feels natural and encouraging. We feel very fortunate to have found him and credit him for helping our son pass his writing assessment but also giving him life long writing skills.

Our son worked with Mr. Lux for several months in preparation of an admission test for a very selective school. They worked on reading comprehension and writing. The lessons were all online which worked very nicely. Mr. Lux was very professional and patient. Our son made great progress with him and was admitted to the school. Thanks Mr. Lux!

I highly recommend Mr. Christopher Lux and the Lux Writing Center. My son is severely dyslexic and dysgraphic. He was a reluctant writer and had a very difficult time putting together any sort of writing assignment. As high school approached and his writing was still at an elementary level, I became concerned about how we could get his writing up to the level it would need to be for him to be successful in college.

We decided to try online tutoring, and Mr. Lux became his daily writing tutor. Mr. Lux worked at a pace at which our son could succeed, and he slowly built my son’s confidence along with his writing skills. He just finished his first college writing course with a final grade of “A”!  This gave him the confidence to enroll in college full-time. I do not think this would have been possible without Mr. Lux and the Lux Writing Center.  Thank you, Mr. Lux!

My child worked with Mr. Lux on her college application essays, and I’m glad we decided to have him take a look at her essays.

She is a good writer and had a lot of material and experiences to draw on. However, she found herself unable to look at the essays from a third person point of view. Mr. Lux’s help with this was invaluable. Furthermore, Mr. Lux’s guidance made sure that the essays remained hers and had her voice.

Mr. Lux was able to read her essays like the admission counselors will read — without knowing much about her experiences and background. Another major help was when she reused essays for slightly varying prompts. Some of the college prompts such as “How will you add to the diversity of College X?” and “Why College X?” can be challenging. My child says she found these the most challenging. She would send Mr. Lux a collection of thoughts and get his approval for the idea before spending more time on it.

Sometimes the feedback was a simple compliment on a great essay that made her day during the taxing college application process. At other times, his feedback helped her decide to completely redo an essay.

Mr. Lux is good at helping high schoolers work on their college essays. He provides the right amount of suggestion, encouragement, and often ends his comments with a “What do you think?” This is very important when working with 17 or 18 year olds.

Additionally, the five-times-a-week feedback works better than less frequent feedback from most other sources. If you have any questions, my child or I would be very happy to answer those via email. I welcome you to send Mr. Lux an email at LuxWritingCenter@gmail.com and he will put you in touch with me.

My child (8th grader) has been working on his writing with Mr. Lux for a few months now. I have seen a remarkable improvement in his writing, and it flows more naturally. The first accomplishment was that my child no longer dislikes writing. By letting the child take charge of his writing, and letting the child take the lead, Mr. Lux helped him get over the dread or mental block that each writing exercise inevitably brought.

A couple of things that also helped were that the daily work was the right amount – about 15-25 minutes worth of work. My child was fairly regular in the writing, and I managed to keep my promise of not looking at the writing. Mr. Lux was always receptive to any changes requested, prompt in response to emails, and able to quickly understand what I, as a parent, was looking for in the course, and what my child needed. In our case, Mr. Lux’s writing instruction provides a good supplement to the writing taught in my child’s public school. Not having to personally oversee my child’s learning of writing is such a relief!

Mr. Lux provides ample feedback to guide the child, to improve the writing, and to set the child thinking. The writing instruction is wholesome with emphasis on style, strength, and detail. I would highly recommend Lux Writing Center to any parent looking for writing instruction for their child.

My son is just finishing his first month with Mr. Lux. I already see tremendous improvement in his ability to get through the process of writing. More importantly, my son is not hating the process of writing, but seems now to enjoy sharing his ideas and thoughts. He wrote an analysis of a Hemingway story for Mr. Lux, and got interested in the other stories Hemingway has written, and read several of Hemingway’s short stories. That is cool! The process of writing that Mr. Lux teaches is structured yet relaxed and gives freedom. He gives encouragement and see’s what is done well, as well as making suggestions for improvement. I am glad we did this.

I’m so happy to find this writing program for my son. My son’s consultant Mr. Lux is very professional. He gives clear step-by-step instructions to my son who is writing a research paper. My son learned a lot after one month of study. Mr. Lux is also encouraging. Before I registered for this program, my son was strongly against it, but now he is willing to renew it.

Otter’s been assigned a writing consultant who corresponds with him daily (during the weekdays). The lessons are totally individualized and the teacher we are working with does a FANTASTIC job. Every day Otter looks forward to seeing his teacher’s feedback and has really been enjoying the lessons which are broken down into pieces that are not overwhelming at all but very instructive. It’s the perfect match. He also lucked out getting a teacher who was an Eagle Scout and whose brother is a police detective! LOL… That’s another plus…I think we’re providing a good balance for Otter so that he’s not just having to deal with “mom” all the time.

The best thing…Otter actually told me he was having FUN writing.

Mr. Lux was the most entertaining teacher I have ever had. He is incredibly smart and he thinks like us, students. He puts himself in our position which is all a student could ask for. His class is easily an experience I will never forget.
