How our IB
tutoring works
We have built a tightly-knit team of 200 skilled professionals, many of whom are former teachers from top UK independent schools or career tutors who bring deep expertise and dedication to their work. Our IB tutors undergo a rigorous screening process and are handpicked to meet Keystone’s high standards. Parents come to Keystone for IB tutoring for a number of reasons:
Building subject confidence
Our tutoring provides students with the tools to succeed in their IB. Individualised attention, tailored to the needs of each child, our tutoring can address specific learning needs and particular areas of development, filling in learning gaps and building subject confidence.
Exam preparation
Our tutors can help children develop study and exam skills in the lead up to their exams. They are able to identify subject misconceptions, work on a child’s understanding and give them the tools to apply their knowledge in an exam situation through the use of practice papers.
Super curricular learning
For those students aiming for a top grade in the subject and looking to apply to a competitive university, our advanced IB tutoring allows children to explore the subject in greater depth in preparation for applying to university.
Learning difficulties and special education needs
We work with a team of IB tutors who have extensive experience teaching students with special educational needs. The 1-to-1 tutoring environment allows students with educational needs more time to access, process and reinforce their learning, and, importantly, to ask for support in the lead up to their exams.
Established in 2007, Keystone have helped over
10,000 students fulfil their educational potential.
Uniquely, Keystone exclusively employs 60 full-time UK based tutors and also represents a highly select pool of freelance tutors. With offices in London, Hong Kong and Singapore and recommended by head teachers of top independent schools, we have an exceptional reputation for helping students (wherever they are in the world) achieve their best; delivering outstanding results, building confidence and instilling life-long intellectual curiosity.
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, 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 your target school.
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.

Finding the right tutor
for each child
Step 1: Detailed Consultation
Before we can help a student, we often need to spend a significant amount of time learning about the student's requirements. Most consultations are carried out over the phone or on a video call.
Step 2: Academic Assessment (optional)
Students sit our custom-made academic assessments to indicate their level in relation to their peers, and in order to identify suggested areas to work on. Parents also seek academic assessments for their children to determine their general strengths and weaknesses, and decide upon a set of objectives for the course of tuition.
Step 3: Tutor Selection Process
The selection of the tutor is an integral part of our process. Priding ourselves on how well we know the varying strengths of each tutor, we ensure that each decision is informed by the expectation of a successful match between the tutor and student.
Step 4: Regular Progress Monitoring
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.
Step 5: Monthly Reporting & Feedback
Tutors submit a monthly report detailing the work done in the month; the successes and areas to work on; and the work for the coming month. Our regular, rigorous reporting is frequently praised by parents.
