Feedback on Keystone Tutors
"Just a quick email to let you know that Jessica is phenomenal. She knows her stuff and best of all demonstrated a sensitivity to my weaknesses and has a clear strategy on how to help me improve. I thoroughly enjoyed my sessions, plus I have learned so much already."
Parent of a Pre-U History student"My son has thoroughly enjoyed his lessons with James. There has been a marked improvement in his writing and he feels more confident. James has also worked on his comprehension skills and my son feels his ability in drawing inferences has improved. James is always punctual and always gives me notice even if he is 5 minutes late. He has been extremely patient and positive with my son and he looks forward to his lessons with him. In short - we have had a fantastic experience with James"

Finding the right academic writing tutor for each student
We go the extra mile to match you with a great tutor and ensure a perfect fit.
When you request a tutor through Keystone we spend a significant amount of time learning about your circumstances. Priding ourselves on how well we know our tutors’ specialist strengths, we ensure that we put forward the very best tutor for your requirements.
During the first session the tutor starts by assessing where you are at, your academic ability, your strengths and perceived weaknesses. Tutors will then devise a programme tailored to your specific circumstances.
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.
We have a monthly reporting system which is used to update you on an ongoing basis. The monthly report details:
- the focus of that month’s tutoring
- the form of assessment used
- the student's achievements and areas for further work
- the focus for the coming month
The regular, rigorous reporting of the tutors we represent is frequently commended.
