Daisy Beor-Roberts, Education Administrator

Daisy joined the Keystone Team in February 2021 as the Education Administrator. She attended Tudor Hall School before going to Oxford Brookes University to study Real Estate Management. Prior to joining Keystone she worked as a property manager.

Daisy decided to join the world of education in order to help young people benefit from the stability of a good education and consequently reach their potential. As the Education Administrator, she assists with the management and recruitment of our tutors as well as coordination of our group courses. She also provides support to the consultancy team and helps look after our homeschooling clients

Ed Richardson, Director of Education

Ed read Zoology at St. Andrews University before completing a Secondary Science PGCE at Oxford University. He has since undertaken a Masters in Teaching and Learning at Oxford too. Prior to joining Keystone, he taught all three sciences to GCSE as well as A Level Biology at an outstanding state comprehensive academy in Oxfordshire.

As our Director of Education, Ed is primarily responsible for leading our client management team, the tutor recruitment process and generally overseeing our employed tutors' professional development. Ed also advises our families on a wide range of educational issues; he has particular experience with schools and university advice as well as home-schooling.

More broadly, Ed firmly believes that providing tutors with the appropriate levels of training better equips them to support the individual needs of their students. He recognises the value of educational literature and spends time researching current publications, in particular the nature of personalised learning and its benefit to students of all abilities. Outside of Keystone Ed is a Trustee for the Temple Grove Schools Trust and speaks for The Parent Company at a range of different companies on ‘The Importance of Parents in a Child’s Attainment’ and ‘The British Education System’.
