Feedback on our ELAT tutors
"Imogen is an wonderful tutor - she always gives 100% and more. But most importantly her knowledge and insights into all the texts she teaches are always exceptional. She is gifted and we have been very lucky as a family to benefit from all that she has to offer. Imogen is outstanding and anyone who gets her as their tutor is super lucky!"
Mother of ELAT and A Level English student"My daughter has just completed some ELAT & interview sessions with Cal Revely-Calder and happily, received an offer to do English Literature Oxford. Cal was great - very thorough and my daughter very much enjoyed her sessions with him. She said his interview practice was very similar in feel and structure to the two interviews she had at Oxford."

How our English Admissions tutoring works
We can guide your child through every step of the competitive application process to study English at Cambridge or Oxford University and introduce you to specialist tutors who can support with applications and preparation for the ELAT and English interviews as well as broader application support and further super curricular reading recommendations.
The ELAT tutors we represent can help students fully develop their close reading skills, and practice them on a wide range of familiar and unfamiliar texts. They can help work through sample papers under time pressure, and provide detailed feedback to help focus on the particular effects of language, style, and structure that different authors make use of.
All tutoring is tailored to the individual needs of each child based on their strengths, weaknesses, learning style and the entrance procedures of the course they are applying to.

FINDING THE RIGHT TUTOR FOR EACH CHILD
We go the extra mile to match a great tutor with your child and ensure a perfect fit.
When you request a tutor through Keystone we spend a significant amount of time learning about your circumstances. Priding ourselves on how well we know our tutors’ specialist strengths and university institution experience, we ensure that we put forward the very best tutor for your requirements.
During the first session the tutor starts by assessing where the child is at, their academic ability, their strengths and perceived weaknesses. Tutors will then devise a programme tailored to the specific circumstances of the student and your target course.
After the first lesson, one of our dedicated client managers will contact you to find out how the lesson went. Our client managers are always available at the end of the phone and they are frequently praised for their efficiency, dedication and responsiveness.

Articles on the ELAT
How to Revise for GCSE Physics
With GCSEs approaching, many students begin to think carefully about how they should revise for GCSE Physics. For some, Physics can feel like one of the more challenging subjects, as it requires both a strong understanding of scientific concepts and the ability to apply mathematical skills accurately. Unlike subjects that rely solely on memorisation, Physics also requires students to apply information to unfamiliar questions.
Politics Super Curricular Activities
Super-curricular learning is where a student explores their subject beyond what is required by the school or by the exam specification. It is therefore inherently self-motivated, allowing you to explore what you find most interesting, on your own terms. It is most impressive when evidencing a genuine passion for the subject, rather than being just a hasty means of plumping out a UCAS personal statement or preparing for interview.
