Feedback for Keystone Tutors
Keystone supports students at every stage of their education, from early years to university entry. Areas of specialism include:
Finding the right tutor
for each child
Step 1: Detailed Consultation
Before we can help a student, we often need to spend a significant amount of time learning about the student's requirements. Most consultations are carried out over the phone or on a video call.
Step 2: Academic Assessment (optional)
Students sit our custom-made academic assessments to indicate their level in relation to their peers, and in order to identify suggested areas to work on. Parents also seek academic assessments for their children to determine their general strengths and weaknesses, and decide upon a set of objectives for the course of tuition.
Step 3: Tutor Selection Process
The selection of the tutor is an integral part of our process. Priding ourselves on how well we know the varying strengths of each tutor, we ensure that each decision is informed by the expectation of a successful match between the tutor and student.
Step 4: Regular Progress Monitoring
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.
Step 5: Monthly Reporting & Feedback
Tutors submit a monthly report detailing the work done in the month; the successes and areas to work on; and the work for the coming month. Our regular, rigorous reporting is frequently praised by parents.

How to Apply to a UK Boarding School from Singapore: A Guide for Singaporean Families
British boarding schools have an established tradition of educating students from all over the world, including Singapore. For many Singaporean families, the prospect of a UK boarding school education can be appealing but also potentially daunting, particularly due to differences in entry points and curricula. The UK admissions process is often more structured and formalised than families may expect, with early registration deadlines and entrance assessments that may be unfamiliar to first-time applicants. Therefore, gaining a clear understanding of how the process works is important, especially given the competitive nature of many British boarding schools. This guide outlines the UK boarding school system and highlights what Singaporean families should be aware of when considering an application.

Boarding School Interviews
The boarding school interview is designed to ascertain suitability and readiness for boarding and whether they would be happy at the school. This is very important, especially for international students, as the child is away from home and the boarding school becomes home.

Considering UK Universities from Abroad
‘What shall I do when I leave school?’ is just one of several important questions students make during their final three years at school. But it is one that they shouldn’t feel daunted by as this is an exciting time and, typically, the final step in their formal education. The most salient point to remember is that there is a spider’s web of people from whom they can seek advice: teachers, parents, friends and even current university students. Importantly, the final decision must be the student’s, and one that they are ultimately happy with.
Below are some important considerations which hopefully prove useful for students to review as they navigate this part of their educational career.
