We offer a variety of programmes to students approaching Oxbridge and university entrance, covering application guidance, admissions tests preparation, interview preparation and the development of super-curricular knowledge.
We offer the following services to support students with their university applications:
We offer courses in the folllowing tests:
We recommend three mock interviews, conducted by expert tutors who are familiar with the requirements of the interview process for Oxbridge and other courses requiring interviews (such as medicine). These interviews will include detailed feedback and suggestions for further reading and knowledge development.
Our super-curricular courses are specifically aimed at those applicants applying to Oxbridge. We recommend this covers two components:
We recommend c. 10 x 1.5 hour sessions with a specialist Oxbridge tutor. These can be done 1-to-1 but work particularly well in group settings where ideas can be discussed.
We also offer Taster Courses for choosing which subject to study at University. Examples of these can be found at this link.
Keystone will act as your partner, not just a provider. Our team of specialist Oxbridge tutors and highly experienced staff will work closely with you to provide dedicated support, tailored to your individual requirements with clear communication at all times.

Keystone was approached by the leadership team at Morna International School in Spain to support a group of children who were approaching competitive Common Entrance exams ahead of returning to UK schools. In collaboration with the school, Keystone devised an entirely online programme which was provided by two of our leading full-time tutors
Common Entrance Preparation
"Thank you so much again for setting up the session with Alice - it was so helpful and both girls found it an enjoyable and rewarding experience."
"They were delighted with what you did and looking forward to the next. I got bits as I was in and out but delighted with what you said about getting the Personal Statement drafted. Unfortunately as a school we spend to long on it and tend to be later - but your advice fitted exactly with what I had heard a few weeks ago from Prof of Education at Oxford."
"Thank you ever so much for yesterday’s talk. The students found it incredibly useful and it was good for us that you also corroborated some of the points we have been making. Thank you also for the link and for taking the time to speak to our students and following up with the advice regarding the MAT blog. Your session was very useful and high quality which is exactly what our students needed at this point. I will certainly contact you again with regards to future talks."
