Meet the Team
Keystone Tutors was founded in 2007 by Will Orr-Ewing. Will began tutoring after he graduated from Oriel College, Oxford with a degree in History and couldn’t believe that he had stumbled upon a way to make a living that was at once so enjoyable and so rewarding. He was soon joined by one of his oldest friends, Josh Pull, who also studied History with Will at Oriel College, Oxford. Josh had begun a career in investment banking at Lazard before coming and running Keystone with him. Since then, Josh and Will have grown the company together, alongside a wonderful team of talented and dedicated individuals, now headed up by Managing Director Ed Richardson.

Now, as Keystone's Managing Director, he is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations and strategy of the company.
Ed firmly believes that providing tutors with appropriate levels of training better equips them to support the individual needs of their students. He recognizes the value of educational literature and spends time researching current publications, particularly on the nature of personalised learning and its benefits for students of all abilities. Outside of Keystone, Ed is a Trustee for the Temple Grove Schools Trust and speaks on a variety of educational topics from 'The Importance of Parents in a Child's Attainment' to ‘The British Education System’.
