"Hani has been tutoring our daughter in chemistry and, in a space of three short months, Hani has turned our daughter from a grade C student to a predicted A* in her GCSE. She has wonderful intuition and knows when to push forward and when to pull back resulting in our daughter’s growing confidence in chemistry. Hani gives 150 per cent of herself and it is obvious to see she really enjoys tutoring and is totally invested in your child’s success."
Mother of GCSE Chemistry student"I’m really pleased to say that I got an 8 in my chemistry GCSE. I’m so happy and wouldn’t have imagined such a good result. Thank you for everything, you helped so much it’s unbelievable and I wouldn’t have gotten that result if it wasn’t for your help."

Finding the Right Tutor for My Child
Finding the right tutor can be a real game changer for your child, it can help to overcome areas of concern, and to unlock their academic potential. Looking for the right one, though, can be a minefield, and a stressful one for both you and your child. Below we answer some commonly asked questions that should make the whole process much easier.
Keystone Tutors A Level Guide
Advanced Level qualifications, better known as A Levels, help students enter universities or colleges or careers related to the subjects they choose to study. Originally introduced in the UK in 1951, they are also offered in a range of Commonwealth countries, and are normally studied over the course of a 2 year period. Most students will study either 3 or 4 A Levels between the ages of 16 and 19.
Webinar : 11+ London Day Schools
In this webinar Keystone's Head of Consultancy, Harriet Brook, was joined by experienced Education Consultant, Camilla Smiley, to discuss 11+ entry with a focus on London day schools. Harriet and Camilla covered all key aspects of the 11+ entry process to London schools, including advising on how and when to start preparing for 11+ assessments and interviews, and how to finalise a shortlist of schools.
Webinar: The 7 Plus and 8 Plus
In this webinar Keystone's Head of Consultancy, Harriet Brook, was joined by one of Keystone’s most experienced Professional Tutors, Steph Kitson-Smith, to discuss 7+ and 8+ entry processes and considerations. Harriet and Steph looked to cover all key aspects of the 7+ and 8+ entry process, from registration timelines to assessments and interview formats. They advised on how and when to start preparing for assessments and interviews, and how to finalise your shortlist of schools.
We can arrange Chemistry tuition tailored to specific exams, including GCSE Chemistry, IGCSE Chemistry, IB Chemistry, A Level Chemistry, and Cambridge NSAA Tests. We help to improve exam performance by making use of past Chemistry papers, reinforcing core learning, developing revision techniques, and helping students to push the boundaries of their knowledge of Chemistry to differentiate themselves from fellow students.
GCSE Chemistry students will need a solid grounding in topics like the Periodic Table, Atomic Structure, and Atmospheric Chemistry. The Chemistry tutors we represent will help your child develop a fluent knowledge of the appropriate methods and concepts, and maximise their ability to pick and use the correct tools and techniques to answer Chemistry questions across a range of different contexts. We aim to build up your child’s confidence, speed, and accuracy under pressure in Chemistry, equipping them to excel at GCSE level.
The Chemistry tutors we represent can help your child across all areas of the IGCSE Chemistry curriculum, including Stoichiometry, Carbonates, and Chemical Energetics. The IGCSE provides an excellent foundation for further study in Chemistry, and the tutors we represent will help your child take full advantage of this, reinforcing the key concepts and preparing them to perform well under examination conditions.
IB Chemistry is a challenging qualification, covering a range of compulsory and optional components from Organic Chemistry, to Transition Metals, to Thermochemistry. Our Chemistry tutors will help your child to gain a deeper understanding of the subject, develop their critical thinking skills, solve problems, and communicate their knowledge successfully in an exam context.
A Level Chemistry is a key subject for many future career paths, and students have to master a wide range of complex topics to succeed. The Chemistry tutors we work with are able to focus in on those areas where your child needs additional support, help them demonstrate their knowledge effectively under time pressure, and ultimately prepare them to perform strongly in these key exams.
The NSAA is designed to help whittle down the number of students moving on to interview stage when applying to Cambridge University, and as such is a rigorous and competitive examination. The Chemistry tutors we represent can help your child maximise their performance in this assessment, building on their knowledge and helping them to demonstrate the depth of their understanding successfully, as they compete for places to read Chemistry at Cambridge University.
