Feedback on the History tutors we work with
"Josh has been an absolute pleasure to work with. He has covered an enormous amount of work in a relatively short time and given our son some wonderful study skills in History. His enthusiasm for lessons has been enjoyed immensely. It is his ability to bring the subject to life for a young boy and inspire him that is most appreciated"

Guide to Computerised Pre-tests
In recent years, many independent senior schools that have put pre-tests in place have purposefully designed them with as little transparency as possible. It is for this reason that the tests are often computer generated and no past papers are issued. As such, no tutor can claim to have in depth knowledge or experience of the tests themselves, in their current form.
Webinar: Study Skills
Keystone's Managing Director, Ed Richardson, was joined by Poppy Dundas, Keystone's Head of Elective & Homeschooling and, Michael Roderick, one of Keystone's long-standing Professional Tutors, to discuss recommended study skills and techniques.
