"My son has been having lessons with Sebastian for about 6 months now. His grades have more than doubled since he started tuition with Sebastian and his understanding and confidence have improved considerably during this time. Sebastian is very knowledgeable, organises the lessons well and explains things clearly. He always responds promptly to my messages and is very flexible when it comes to arranging lesson times. I would highly recommend him."

What is HSPS at Cambridge? Human, Social and Political Sciences (HSPS) at Cambridge is a three-year BA Hons degree in politics, international relations, social anthropology and sociology. Although students can focus on one of these areas from the start, HSPS is also the broadest and most flexible political and/or social science degree at Oxbridge.
How to get a 9 in GCSE Geography
How hard is it to get a 9 in GCSE Geography? Geography is often misperceived as an “easier”, less academic subject. I think one of the main reasons for this is that it is an interdisciplinary subject. Geography touches on lots of different subject areas (science, economics, politics, sociology etc.) so the depth on knowledge required in each aspect is not to the same level as if you were studying each component subject individually.

Keystone Tutors can provide Geography tuition tailored to specific exams, for 13+ Common Entrance, GCSE Geography, IGCSE Geography, IB Geography, A Level Geography, and the Oxford GAT. We help to improve exam performance by making use of past Geography papers, reinforcing core learning, developing revision techniques, and helping students to push the boundaries of their knowledge of Geography to differentiate themselves from fellow students.
GCSE Geography students will need a solid grounding in topics like Natural Hazards, Urban Issues, and Physical Landscapes. Our Geography tutors 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 Geography questions across a range of different contexts. We aim to build up your child’s confidence, speed, and accuracy under pressure in Geography, equipping them to excel at GCSE level.
Our Geography tutors can help your child across all areas of the IGCSE Geography curriculum, including Population, Economic Development, and The Natural Environment. The IGCSE provides an excellent foundation for further study in Geography, 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 Geography is a challenging qualification, covering a range of compulsory and optional components from Oceans and Coastal Margins, to Global Risks, to Geophysical Hazards. Our Geography 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 Geography is a key subject for many future career paths, and students have to master a wide range of complex topics to succeed. Our Geography tutors 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 GAT is designed to help whittle down the number of students moving on to interview stage when applying to Oxford University, and as such are rigorous and competitive examinations. Our Geography tutors 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 Geography at Oxford University.
