The TSA tests problem solving and critical thinking skills, and the Tutors we represent can help students practice these skills in a variety of contexts to help maximise their performance in the test on the day. They can help applicants build speed and confidence in answering the kinds of question in the test, which they may not have encountered in the normal course of their studies in any particular subject. They can also reinforce the mathematical and logical skills that will help students to succeed at the TSA.
The TSA tutors Keystone tutors represent are graduates of Oxford, Cambridge or other leading universities who have sat the TSA exam themselves. They are passionate and knowledgeable about their subject and receive outstanding evaluations from their students. We choose tutors that are intelligent and likeable who enjoy relating to, and setting high standards for their students.
