How our OLAT tutoring works
The OLAT requires you to attempt to ‘translate', spot patterns to infer grammatical rules and apply those grammatical rules in new contexts. The OLAT tutors we represent will 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.
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.
About Keystone Tutors
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 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.

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.
