HOW OUR MLAT TUTORING WORKS
The MLAT tutors we represent can provide support and guidance to help you excel in the Modern Language Aptitude Test (MLAT) for Oxford University. The MLAT is testing your technical and grammatical knowledge of the language(s) you want to study, so our tutors will work closely with you on complex grammar and vocabulary.
Our MLAT tutors understands the intricacies of the test and can customise a plan to target your specific areas of improvement. They will familiarise you with the test format, teach you effective strategies for answering questions, and provide you with ample sample papers to work through under time pressure and provide detailed feedback.
All tutoring is tailored to the individual needs of each child based on their strengths, weaknesses, learning style and the entrance procedures of the course they are applying to.

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 and university institution experience, 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 course.
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.

Oxford University uses the Modern Languages Admissions Test (MLAT) to assess applicants to a range of courses involving Modern Languages, including:
- Any single Modern Languages course
- Any joint Modern Languages course
- Classics and Modern Languages
- English and Modern Languages
- European and Middle Eastern Languages
- History and Modern Languages
- Modern Languages and Linguistics
- Philosophy and Modern Languages
The test consists of ten sections (30 minutes each), one for each Modern Language being studied, plus a Language Aptitude test. Applicants will need to take up to two of these sections, depending on the specific course they are applying for. Candidates for Philosophy and Modern Languages will also need to take a separate Philosophy test (60 minutes).
The language based sections consist of challenging questions designed to test the applicant’s ability to translate accurately and with a full understanding of their chosen language’s structure and grammar. The Language Aptitude test assesses the applicant’s general ability to learn a new language by asking them to translate a made-up language into English, and vice-versa, by spotting patterns and using their knowledge of grammar and syntax.
