How our CAT tutoring works
The CAT can be a daunting test, but with proper preparation it is a chance for a candidate to show their skills and knowledge, and set themselves up well for their interview.
The CAT tutors we represent can help your child in practicing and perfecting their translation skills, working across a range of Latin and Greek texts as appropriate. They can also assist in working through the more nuanced areas of grammar, and in helping your child translate from English into Latin and Greek, to provide additional ways to practice and build up their confidence and speed. Working through past papers with these tutors is also an excellent way for your child to master the skills they will require to give themselves the best chance of success.
All tutoring is tailored to the individual needs of each child based on their strengths, weaknesses, learning style and the entrance procedures of the course they are applying to.

FINDING THE RIGHT TUTOR FOR EACH CHILD
We go the extra mile to match a great tutor with your child 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 and university institution experience, we ensure that we put forward the very best tutor for your requirements.
During the first session the tutor starts by assessing where the child is at, their academic ability, their strengths and perceived weaknesses. Tutors will then devise a programme tailored to the specific circumstances of the student and their target course.
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.
