Oxbridge Interview Support with Keystone
Kellett School, a British International School in Hong Kong, started working with Keystone in 2024 and we have been working with them again in 2025. We have been supporting selected Year 12 students with their Oxbridge Interview Preparation.
The school were seeking tutors with specific Oxford & Cambridge admissions experience, across a range of subjects to provide mock interviews with an unknown academic expert at both the start of the school's own Oxbridge programme and ahead of the actual interview. Our tutors worked with each student on a 1:1 basis, fitting in with the school timetable, as well as the Hong Kong time zone. The interviews were one hour long, which included verbal feedback and then a written feedback form was shared with the student and teacher to ensure that student had action points to work on over the summer.
The support was in the following subjects, Engineering, Computer Science, Maths, HSPS, History, Geography, Medicine, Biomedicine, Law, Education, Economics & Land Economy. Each tutor that worked with the student was an expert in the subject, as well as being fully up-to-date with the latest Oxbridge admissions requirements.
Keystone supports students at every stage of their education, from early years to university entry. Areas of specialism include:

Supporting homework without doing it for your child
Homework is essential in reinforcing student’s learning and teaching them study skills. It’s natural to want to help your child with their homework and to want them to do it well, even to do it perfectly. But the question of how to help can be tricky. Curriculums are updated all the time. You may not have studied the same topics or subjects. Luckily, you don’t need to be the expert – or even have the right answers. The most impactful way you can support your child is not to show them exactly how to do their homework, but rather to encourage them to learn how to tackle it themselves. This allows them to become confident in dealing with unfamiliar questions, resolving difficulties and finding solutions – skills essential for adult life. The best way to help your child to learn how to learn depends on their age as children need structure whilst teenagers require more independence. Here are five ways to make your support count at every stage.

How to build a love of reading in primary-age children
A book is the most powerful tool that a parent can give a child - it is a weapon of imagination that can lead children on a path of discovery and success. A love of reading is vital in shaping how children and young people learn, feel, and engage with and understand the world around them. Digital tools and screens are a useful supplement for reading progress, but books remain the “gold standard” for primary-age children.
