Feedback on Keystone Tutors
"Brilliant! Olly certainly makes the sessions interesting and strives to make sure that the student does understand all that needs to be covered. Currently doing Protagoras and the notes I've written down are incredible -and it's just the beginning! Looking forward to the next session!"
Ancient Greek student"We found Michael to be an outstanding, warm and very effective tutor. Our son was predicted a B in Latin A-Level, which would have stopped him from getting into his first choice of university. Michael not only got him up to an A, but managed to get him up to an A*. His teacher was thrilled, and quite astonished."

Finding the right Classics tutor for each student
We go the extra mile to match you with a great tutor 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 you are at, your academic ability, and your strengths and perceived weaknesses. Tutors will then devise a programme tailored to your specific circumstances.
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.
We have a monthly reporting system which is used to update parents on an ongoing basis. The monthly report details:
- the focus of that month’s tutoring
- the form of assessment used
- the student's achievements and areas for further work
- the focus for the coming month
The regular, rigorous reporting of the tutors we represent is frequently commended.
