About Me
Luke Henstrom

Tutor, Founder, and Finance Student.

I'm a sophomore at Brigham Young University pursuing a degree in Finance. My interest in finance started in high school when I founded Canyon Tutors LLC — a tutoring company I still lead as Founder and Head Tutor, with a focus on students with ADHD and ADD. I love helping others and seeing the people around me succeed.

While serving as a missionary in Tijuana, Mexico, I saw firsthand what financial illiteracy can do to a family. That experience deepened my drive to understand how money works and how to build real, lasting wealth. I'm pursuing a career in real estate investing and development, while remaining open to wealth management as well.

I was born in Rochester, Minnesota and raised across the Midwest before my family settled in Draper, Utah — a path that gave me adaptability, perspective, and a work ethic shaped by different communities. In Draper I became a two-time 6A State Champion in football and competed in the 100M dash in track. Outside of sports, I have a deep appreciation for musical theater and music — I play both guitar and piano. Between athletics, music, faith, and everything in between, I've built a life that lets me genuinely relate to most teenagers I work with. That range is intentional — it's one of the reasons I connect so well with the students I tutor.

My son was failing his math class — so many missing assignments and he didn't understand the concepts. After the first session with Luke I knew right away this was going to work out. Luke has a way with teaching math. He explained things so my son could understand, and after the first week my son told me he actually did know what he was doing, he just needed it explained differently. Luke took the time to get to know my son and gave him confidence. Canyon Tutors is amazing!

Hiring Luke was the best decision we made in the 2026 school year. He took genuine interest in getting to know my son and I was so grateful for the help and motivation he gave him. Luke understood the assignment. He made the end of each semester no longer a dreaded month in our household. We are excited to continue next year!

Luke you're an awesome tutor. You know how to relate with all the grades and ages! I really liked how you checked in with Cole weekly and worked with him as he needed. You were also really patient and flexible — which was so nice because high school and sports create a busy schedule.

Luke gets Lucy to do work that she's hesitant to do. He keeps it positive and upbeat, but doesn't let her off the hook.

Beyond the Desk

Outside of
Work & School

🏈

Football

4-year varsity player at Corner Canyon High School — two-time 6A State Champion. Football taught me how to compete, lead, and perform under pressure.

🎭

Musical Theater

Deep appreciation for performance and storytelling. Musical theater sharpened how I communicate and connect with people in ways that pure academics never could.

🎸

Guitar & Piano

Multi-instrumentalist. Music is how I decompress — there's something about building something that sounds right that mirrors the satisfaction of a clean financial model.

🏃

Track & Field

Competed in the 100M and 200M dash. Sprinting is a discipline of precision — hundredths of a second matter, and so does preparation.

🏀

Sports Fan & Golfer

Boston Celtics, Broncos, Red Sox, and Red Bull F1. I also actively play golf — the mental discipline of the game keeps me coming back.

⚜️

Eagle Scout

Earned the highest rank in Scouting. For my Eagle project, I organized and personally delivered hygiene kits to children in Guatemala — an experience that reinforced the value of service, planning, and follow-through. Values I carry into everything I build.

🙏

Faith & Service

Active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Served a two-year mission in Tijuana, Mexico — leading teams, teaching communities, and developing a deep commitment to serving others before myself.

🏋️

Lifting & Wellness

Consistent training is how I stay sharp mentally and physically. Discipline in the gym translates directly — the habits that build a better athlete build a better professional.

📚

Reading

I genuinely enjoy reading across a wide range of topics and genres. Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series is a personal favorite — the kind of intricate, layered storytelling that trains you to think in systems and long-term consequences.

🎮

Gaming

Grew up playing a wide variety of games across different genres. It built pattern recognition, strategic thinking, and the ability to focus for long stretches. It also gives me a genuine connection point with the students I tutor — when kids know you speak their language, they're a lot more willing to do the hard work.
