"As our daughter started her A-levels Philosophy and she had never studied this subject 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 in making the subject understandable and showed her the different methods one works for to get the grades desired for Philosophy. In the beginning he helped her learn the subjects needs and then started to give her some homework to hone her skills in understanding Philosophy. I am happy to say that she received the highest grade possible for this work. Andy has been a godsend as he knew how to keep her calm and focused on her work during the A-levels two years and exams. He has always been punctual and a pleasure to have in our home."

Keystone Tutors represents a large team of passionate and experienced Philosophy tutors. The tutors we work with have detailed knowledge of the various Philosophy curricula and have an outstanding ability to connect with their students, impart their subject knowledge, explain concepts and increase subject confidence.
We can provide Philosophy tuition tailored to specific exams, GCSE Philosophy & Ethics, A Level Philosophy, IB Philosophy and Philosophy University admissions tests. We help to improve exam performance by making use of past papers, reinforcing core learning, developing revision techniques, and helping students to push the boundaries of their knowledge of Philosophy to differentiate themselves from fellow students through super curricular learning. We also work with students who are looking to building their subject confidence in Philosophy.
All tutoring is tailored to the individual needs of each child based on their strengths, areas of development, learning style and their subject exam board.
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.
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, 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 their exam board.
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.
