Mother of Oxbridge Candidate"Many thanks for all your support for my son, it made a huge difference and I am sure he would not have had an interview in Oxford without your help. He enjoyed working with you and learnt a lot in a very short time!"

What is the OLAT?
The Oriental Languages Aptitude Test (OLAT) is an exam used by Oxford University as part of their assessment process for candidates applying to study Arabic, Hebrew, Jewish, Persian, or Turkish Studies as part of any Oriental Studies or Middle Eastern Languages course.
The OLAT is a 30 minute test designed to assess a candidate’s ability to learn a new language quickly. It is not based on a candidate’s knowledge of any particular language.
The OLAT is taken in early November each year.
How can Keystone Tutors help you prepare for the OLAT?
The Tutors we represent can help your child reflect on and refine their language learning skills, and understand how to apply these to unfamiliar languages quickly and accurately.
They can take your child through practice papers to familiarise them with the time pressure and challenging nature of this exam, and help them develop the strategies and techniques they will need to achieve their best possible result.
