How our homeschooling works
Our Homeschooling programmes are designed to support students starting from primary age, all the way up to A Levels. The process is as follows:
Step 1. Initial Consultation
There is not a one-size-fits-all approach to our homeschooling tuition at Keystone. Every child’s learning journey is different, which is why we begin with a consultation to understand your child’s starting point, and their education goals.
Step 2. Proposal
We will follow up after this call with a full proposal, and then can work to create a tailored timetable based on the child's specific needs. Each proposal is bespoke to the needs of the family and student. We will also recommend tutors for each subject, and you will get a chance to read about their experience and why we feel they are suited for the job.
Step 3. Programme begins
We can start at any points in the year, picking up where the child got too in their learning.
Step 4. Ongoing support
Through the programme we will provide regular reports, as well as parents meetings and student check ins (if required).

Why parents come to Keystone for
private homeschooling tuition
There is not a one-size-fits-all approach to our homeschooling tuition at Keystone. Every child’s learning journey is different, which is why we begin with a consultation to understand your child’s starting point, and the education goals. Each proposal is bespoke to the needs of the family and student. The homeschooling support at Keystone promises:
Experienced Subject Specialists for all exam boards and curriculum
Our A Level homeschooling tutors are subject experts, many of whom have taught in leading independent schools or hold advanced degrees in their fields. They understand the demands of the A Level syllabus across exam boards and are skilled at preparing students for exams. With targeted support, they identify knowledge gaps, clarify misunderstandings, and equip students with the confidence they need to perform well in their exams.
Tailored Programmes
Each A Level homeschooling plan is designed around the student — from subject choice and session frequency to exam goals and enrichment. We work closely with families to ensure a rigorous, well-balanced academic experience.
Support for Learning Difficulties and SEN
We work with a team of tutors experienced in supporting students with a range of learning difficulties and special educational needs. The one-to-one homeschooling format offers the flexibility and focused attention many students need to thrive. Tutors are able to adapt material to suit each learner’s pace, processing style, and confidence level, creating a nurturing environment where students can ask questions freely and progress without pressure.
Study skills & mentoring
Homeschooled students can join our study skills course covering revision, organisation, and time management. We also offer mentor support, providing weekly guidance to help guide students throughout their studies.

You have questions?
We have the answers.
Currently, in the UK, there is no legal requirement to declare when you take your child out of school. However, your local council may well approach you for details or proof that your child is still partaking in education. Our recommendation is therefore to get ahead of the game and alert the council to your plans. Keystone can provide information on the timetable, tutors and educational plan if required.
The curriculum will typically follow the standard curriculum for that age group:
- Key Stage 1: 5 – 7 (Years 1 & 2)
- Key Stage 2 :7 – 11 (Years 3 – 6)
- Key Stage 3: 11 – 14 (Years 7 – 9)
- Key Stage 4 / GCSE: 14 – 16 (Years 10 – 11)
- Key Stage 5 / A Level: 17 – 18 (Years 12 – 13)
Unless there is another goal in mind, we will follow as above. For those students approaching school entrance exams, we have specific tutors who are able to support with this preparation.
When a student is approaching GCSE & A Level exams, the process needs to be a little more considered. We are not an exam centre and as such we can’t decide on exam boards for your student. We are able to support with tuition for all exam boards but the final choice of which your child takes will be down to you. The tutors that you have will be happy to comment on the different exam boards, and answer questions, but ultimately the decision will lie with the parent/guardian. We would recommend looking on the different exam board websites, and see which curriculum interests your child most. Additionally, if they have just left a school it can work well to follow the exam boards that their school was working with.
We can offer homeschooling in all academic subjects, and can provide theory support for Art, Music and Drama. Alongside this, we have fewer tutors in more niche subjects such as Russian but we are always happy to discuss what we can and can’t offer, and come to you with suggestions if we are not able to help.
We are not an exam centre, so all exams are sat externally to Keystone. Our top recommendation is, if possible, to contact your child’s old school to see if they can sit the exams there. If not, we have a number of recommendations of exam centres in London.
If you are based abroad, we always recommend contacting the British Council as your first port of call. We can invigilate mock exams, as well as school entrance exams (with the permission of the school.)
As we are not an exam centre, we are not able to grade coursework. Whilst we can mark a piece of coursework, the final piece will be moderated and graded by your exam centre. Guidance on this will come from your chosen exam centre and may differ case on case.
At Keystone we construct a bespoke homeschooling timetable to meet the needs of each student. We can vary start and end times and incorporate breaks into the day to ensure that the day works for the student and family.
As a rough guide, we tend to recommend the following for each age group:
Primary:
3 hours of English, 3 hours of maths, 2 hours of science and 2 hours of any further subjects (languages, humanities etc) per week.
Secondary:
4 hours of English, 4 hours of maths, 3 hours of science and 2 hours of any further subjects (languages, humanities etc) per week.
A Levels:
4 hours per subject per week
Of course, not all students will take all of the above subjects, but this is a rough guide. We will always incorporate English and Maths, and most of the time Science, into timetables unless there are reasons this is not required.
As with timetabling, the dates of half-terms and holidays for your child’s homeschooling with Keystone can be completely bespoke. Many families chose to follow traditional school holidays, to tie in with siblings and friends. This may not always work for your family however, especially if homeschooling is being tied into travel or a move abroad. Therefore, we are happy to follow whichever pattern you feel is appropriate.
Homeschooling at Keystone is billed based on a tutor’s hourly rate. These rates range upwards from £86.00 (inc VAT) an hour, with our top rates being £186.00 (inc VAT) per hour. Typically, our homeschooling tutors are around £100.00 (inc VAT) an hour. Factors such as the goal of the student, the length of the programme and the age of the child all play into how many hours we would recommend. This then dictates how much the price will be.
A primary school student is likely to be doing around two hours a day, a secondary school student will be three, a GCSE student may be up to four or five and then A Level is, as above, twelve hours a week (based on three A Level subjects).
We also have two different homeschooling packages, details of which can be found here.
Yes – many students come to us who want to study some subjects at their school, or are only able to attend school part-time. We can fit in with the timetable, and allow you the chance to keep up to date with your learning alongside being at school part-time.
Yes, we have many students who choose to meet a tutor in person for some of their lessons, and combine this with online learning. We have classrooms in our office in West London, and tutors can also come to your home (location dependent).
Yes, our homeschooling is designed to be flexible to fit in with your family schedule and plans. We will adapt to different time zones, and changes in availability.
Yes – we support lots of students who are doing A Level or GCSE retakes, alongside travelling, working or school timetables.
Absolutely – all of our tutoring can be done online to ensure everyone can access it.
You can book a free consultation with our homeschooling team at this link or contact us via the website here. We would be delighted to answer any further questions you may have or discuss setting up homeschooling for your child.
