It was an amazing experience thanks to all services that have been provided throughout the course such as mentor, manager, writing mentor, and workshops. They were really helpful. However, I got one problem with Tracker platform, so I didn’t use it at all.

My Lumiere Education Experience
My experience at Lumiere was fantastic. I was introduced to my mentor and program manager on my first day, and these two people have followed up with me closely through each step of my research journey. My mentor was the best; she could always explain everything in case I didn't understand, she could encourage me in a good way by giving me tips on what I could improve, she could always check on me and ask me how I was doing and if I need more sessions or time to finish my work. I had an amazing time with her from the first day when we were brainstorming our beautiful research question to the last day when she was reviewing my final paper. It was a journey full of laughter, curiosity, celebrations, a lot of screening, growth, learning, and love for research. This experience is just the beginning of my dream to become a researcher and positively impact society. With Lumiere's strong foundation for research laid, I am confident that I am on the right path. Thank you, Lumiere Education, for believing in me and allowing me to pursue my dreams.

A Transformative Experience
Lumiere Education Program stands out as the best academic program I've experienced to this day. Despite participating in numerous others, Lumiere's personalized approach, extensive resources, and dedicated support make it unmatched. From helping students navigate research challenges to offering them insider knowledge on university admissions, Lumiere's team is committed to student success. The program regularly hosts webinars on university admissions (with universities such as UChicago, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and Dartmouth College), offering valuable insights to prospective applicants and program mentees. Additionally, workshops, such as LaTeX tutorials, equip students with practical skills for academic success. One of the program's notable features is its extensive range of resources, including the Notion Handbook. This invaluable resource provides students with practical information to enhance and expedite their research process.

Lumiere's Magic Touch
My experience with Lumiere was exceptional. As it was my first time, I was amazed how smoothly the entire process unfolded. The pairing with my mentor Mr. Trevor Dean Arnold from Cornell University was outstanding as we quickly built a strong connection and this would not have been possible otherwise. The extra writing sessions proved to be greatly beneficial, providing me with valuable guidance. I cannot stress enough how much of a lifesaver the Lumiere Handbook was, it even allowed me to complete everything last minute by simply following the well-structured patterns outlined within. Overall, my experience with Lumiere exceeded my expectations, thanks to the seamless process, excellent mentorship and the invaluable resources provided.

Amazing Research Experience!
I love the idea of giving students the opportunity to learn such an important skill that will carry on with them in the future! Having a mentor specializing in the field of your choice helping you is an amazing learning experience and is also very fun.

A Must Experience
My experience with the Lumiere research program started a bit rough due to some of my other programs. There were exams that I had to take and various tasks to accomplish. The workload I had was a lot, however, thanks to my Lumiere mentor who supervised me throughout the program, arranged a flexible roadmap, and told me to follow it. Since then my experience has gone smoothly and ended up with the research paper that I was looking forward to. I highly recommend this program to students who have a passion for doing research in the area they're interested in.

Amazing experience!
I had a fantastic experience in Lumiere. I believe that what I liked most had to be the process of creating an article and learning each method to apply it in college or still in high school. The methods were well taught by experienced, patient, and brilliant mentors who guided with such mastery to provide an easy and less stressful journey for students, like myself. I highly recommend Lumiere for any student interested in research, this can enhance your love for research!

Email professors of various uni instead
Students shouldn't have to pay to do research.
Second, stuff like this is why there are so much focus on publications.
Publications guaranteed for doing a summer program is going to be a bad and potentially falsified publication.
I got an email about working as a mentor.
Response from Lumiere EducationMar 11, 2025
Hi Nischal,
We appreciate your point of view on high school research. From what we’ve heard from students, many professors don’t respond to cold outreach requests from high schoolers. Our program aims to give students another option to do mentored research in a structured environment, just like summer camps or training programs.
We agree that high school students shouldn’t feel pressured to publish their research. Our publication program provides support for up to three rounds of journal submissions but does not guarantee publication.
Best,
The Lumiere Team
