Feedback on the Philosophy tutors we work with
"As our daughter had never studied Philosophy before, I asked Keystone Tutors to recommend a tutor in this subject for her. Andy has been helping her with her preparations for Philosophy A-level exams and I can highly recommend him. Andy is not only very qualified in this subject but he is dedicated to making the subject understandable and showed her the different methods one works for to get the grades desired for Philosophy. "
Mother of A Level Philosophy student"All of the feedback on my pieces of work we looked at were very clear and detailed. The explanations he gave when I asked questions were thorough. The sessions were always relaxed whilst being informative, and Frazier ensured a question or topic had been answered fully before moving on."

How our Philosophy Test tutoring works
The Philosophy Test is designed to be challenging for applicants. The key skills admissions tutors are critical analysis, inference, argumentation, evaluation, and conciseness. The tutors we represent can help your child refine their logical and critical thinking skills, and develop their ability to respond to philosophical questions and concepts, and communicate their thoughts and arguments about them clearly.
They can take your child through practice papers to familiarise them with the time pressure and challenging nature of this exam. They can provide detailed feedback on their practice essays, and focus on developing areas of strength and reinforcing those areas which your child finds challenging.
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.

A Guide to the Philosophy Test for Oxford University
What is the Philosophy Test? The Philosophy Test is unique to Oxford and sat solely by applicants for the joint course of Philosophy and Theology; those applying for Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) or Philosophy, Psychology and Linguistics (PPL) instead sit the Thinking Skills Assessment (TSA). A 60-minute written paper, it is designed to test prospective students’ skills of analysis, inference, and argumentation.
Getting Ready to Start AQA A-Level Philosophy
Maybe you’ve just finished your GCSEs and have decided to enter the brave new world of Philosophy at A Level. It might feel both exciting and a little daunting to be beginning a brand-new subject in Year 12, rather than continuing one, such as Physics or English, that you’ve studied for some years.
