Feedback on our Latin tutors
"Just wanted to thank you for recommending Jason to us. He has achieved a miracle with my son, who got his top mark with merit for Common Entrance exam at Westminster!!! His enthusiasm and patience together with love of the subject has passed on to my son who dreaded the school lessons, let alone homework in Latin. Jason was so understanding and accommodating as our timetable kept changing, that any other teacher would have probably given up on us! He is a gem! Thank you once again."
Mother of 13+ Latin Student"My son received his CE results from Eton and he managed to secure an A in Latin...my son is the first one to know how instrumental you have been in helping him in those weeks leading to the exam - he learned tons, developed a greater passion for the subject and was truly inspired by your teaching and character."

Latin Tuition Levels
Keystone Tutors can provide Latin tuition tailored to specific exams, from Common Entrance, GCSE Latin, IGCSE Latin, to IB Latin, and A Level Latin. We help to improve exam performance by making use of past Latin papers, reinforcing core learning, developing revision techniques, and helping students to push the boundaries of their knowledge of Latin to differentiate themselves from fellow students.
GCSE Latin tutors
GCSE Latin students will need a solid grounding in the language itself, as well as on Latin poetry, prose, and culture. The Latin tutors we work with will help your child develop a fluent knowledge of the language, and maximise their ability to translate Latin across a range of different authors. We aim to build up your child’s confidence, speed, and accuracy under pressure in Latin, equipping them to excel at GCSE level.
IGCSE Latin tutors
Our Latin tutors can help your child across all areas of the IGCSE Latin curriculum, developing their knowledge of the language and familiarity with a wide range of texts. The IGCSE provides an excellent foundation for further study in Latin, and the tutors we represent will help your child take full advantage of this, reinforcing their translation skills and preparing them to perform well under examination conditions.
International Baccalaureate (IB) Latin tutors
IB Latin is a challenging qualification, covering authors like Cicero, Ovid, and Virgil. Our Latin tutors will help your child to gain a deeper understanding of the subject, develop their linguistic skills, and communicate their knowledge successfully in an exam context.
A Level Latin tutors
A Level Latin is a well-respected subject and students have to master a wide range of complex grammar and vocabulary to succeed. Our Latin tutors are able to focus in on those areas where your child needs additional support, help them to translate at a high level under time pressure, and ultimately prepare them to perform strongly in these key exams.
