Feedback on the HAA tutors we work with
"I can’t thank you enough for all of your support and guidance, it was most definitely the distinguishing factor that helped me to get an offer. All of your advice and tips for the AHAA, for the interview and approaching History in general were so useful and much more specific and practical than what I was being told at school. I truly could not have done it without you. Your teaching methods and advice work!"
Successful Cambridge applicant"I thought I would just let you know that on Tuesday I received an offer from St Anne’s to read History at Oxford! I wanted to thank you for guiding me through the process of the HAT. Your help to me has been invaluable and I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you so much."

What is the HAA?
The History Admissions Assessment (HAA) is used by many (but not all) colleges at Cambridge University as part of their application process for students wishing to study History.
How can Keystone Tutors help you prepare for the HAA?
The Tutors we represent can help your child refine their skills at analysing and texts, and develop their ability to develop and communicate their thoughts and arguments about them clearly.
They can take your child through practice papers to familiarise them with the time pressure and challenging nature of this exam. They can provide detailed feedback on their practice essays, and focus on developing areas of strength and reinforcing those topics or skills which your child finds challenging.
