Feedback for Keystone Tutors
Keystone supports students at every stage of their education, from early years to university entry. Areas of specialism include:
Finding the right tutor
for each child
Step 1: Detailed Consultation
Before we can help a student, we often need to spend a significant amount of time learning about the student's requirements. Most consultations are carried out over the phone or on a video call.
Step 2: Academic Assessment (optional)
Students sit our custom-made academic assessments to indicate their level in relation to their peers, and in order to identify suggested areas to work on. Parents also seek academic assessments for their children to determine their general strengths and weaknesses, and decide upon a set of objectives for the course of tuition.
Step 3: Tutor Selection Process
The selection of the tutor is an integral part of our process. Priding ourselves on how well we know the varying strengths of each tutor, we ensure that each decision is informed by the expectation of a successful match between the tutor and student.
Step 4: Regular Progress Monitoring
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.
Step 5: Monthly Reporting & Feedback
Tutors submit a monthly report detailing the work done in the month; the successes and areas to work on; and the work for the coming month. Our regular, rigorous reporting is frequently praised by parents.

Supporting homework without doing it for your child
Homework is essential in reinforcing student’s learning and teaching them study skills. It’s natural to want to help your child with their homework and to want them to do it well, even to do it perfectly. But the question of how to help can be tricky. Curriculums are updated all the time. You may not have studied the same topics or subjects. Luckily, you don’t need to be the expert – or even have the right answers. The most impactful way you can support your child is not to show them exactly how to do their homework, but rather to encourage them to learn how to tackle it themselves. This allows them to become confident in dealing with unfamiliar questions, resolving difficulties and finding solutions – skills essential for adult life. The best way to help your child to learn how to learn depends on their age as children need structure whilst teenagers require more independence. Here are five ways to make your support count at every stage.

Primary Maths Development: Recommendations for Parents
When children leave primary school, it is important for them to:
- Enjoy maths and see its relevance in ‘the real world’.
- Have a growth mindset about maths – developing a ‘can do’/ ’have a go’ approach.
- Have a secure knowledge of number facts and an excellent understanding of the four operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, using this knowledge to carry out calculations mentally and to be able to calculate percentages.
- Have solid mathematical thinking and reasoning – being able to choose efficient methods for a range of mathematical problems.
In order to achieve the above, it is vital to develop children’s passion for maths and their understanding of the subject from a young age, building on their learning at school and at home.

How to build a love of reading in primary-age children
A book is the most powerful tool that a parent can give a child - it is a weapon of imagination that can lead children on a path of discovery and success. A love of reading is vital in shaping how children and young people learn, feel, and engage with and understand the world around them. Digital tools and screens are a useful supplement for reading progress, but books remain the “gold standard” for primary-age children.
