About Luminary Learning
At Luminary Learning, we believe every student has the potential to shine when given the right support, guidance, and strategies. Our mission is to help students not only achieve their academic goals, but also discover the confidence and curiosity that make learning rewarding.
Who We Are
Luminary Learning was founded by Isabella Raicu, an academic coach and advisor dedicated to helping students reach their highest potential. After scoring in the 99th percentile on the SAT, ACT, and PSAT, Isabella earned a full scholarship to the University of Texas at Dallas, where she went on to complete her MBA.
Her journey as a first-generation college student shaped her passion for guiding others through the challenges of school, standardized testing, and the college admissions process. With nearly a decade of experience in test prep and academic support, Isabella blends proven strategies with her personal understanding of the high school process to equip students for success in academics and beyond.
At Luminary Learning, Isabella’s goal is simple: to provide each student with the tools, strategies, and confidence they need to succeed, not just in school but in every stage of their academic journey.
And her results speak for themselves - she has worked with hundreds of students, helping many achieve perfect standardized test scores, strengthen and maintain their grades, earn thousands of dollars in scholarships, and gain admission to top universities, including Princeton, Stanford, and Duke.
