Keystone Tutors has delivered teaching in A Level and IGCSE subjects for English, History and ICT to students at Downe House School in Riyadh. Our experienced tutors ensured seamless transitions during staff absences, helping to maintain continuity in learning and student progression.
A Level English Tuition (Feb 2025)
Keystone Tutors provided tailored 1:1 A Level English tuition for a Year 13 student in the run up to her exams. Over 2.5 hours, Lara Isaac, an experienced A Level English tutor, guided the student through in-depth analysis and exam preparation for Pearson Edexcel A Level English. The sessions covered key texts including Frankenstein, The Handmaid’s Tale, and Hamlet, ensuring the student developed a strong grasp of literary themes and critical perspectives in preparation for the examination.
IGCSE History Cover (Jan 2025)
To support Downe House Riyadh during a teacher’s leave of absence, Keystone Tutors provided online IGCSE History lessons for a group of four students. David Swift, an IGCSE History tutor, seamlessly took over the History lessons after the mock exams, ensuring a smooth transition at this crucial academic stage. He introduced the students to a new unit for Paper 2 and maintained consistency in learning for the students, ensuring they remained engaged in the subject despite the unexpected staff absence.
GCSE & Sixth Form ICT Maternity Cover (April 2025)
Keystone Tutors provided an 8-week maternity cover for GCSE and Sixth Form ICT students at Downe House Riyadh. Rishi Bagga delivered high-quality ICT tuition for Year 10 and Year 12 students, ensuring they remained on track with their Edexcel syllabus. He conducted two hours of live teaching per group each week and assigned structured independent study tasks of 1 hour per week for Year 10 and 4 hours for Year 12. His comprehensive approach helped maintain curriculum continuity throughout the maternity leave period.
Feedback from Downe House Riyadh
“Working with Keystone helps us ensure great quality teaching when and where we need it. The tutors are excellent, and our girls have really benefitted from their expertise. The lessons are tightly structured, appropriately resourced and pupils engage well in the lessons. The quality of feedback each pupil receives helps them make progress and the reports we receive as a school leave no gaps as we monitor pupil progress. The quality of support from Keystone extends into every department - they are a dream to work with when finding appropriate tutors and scheduling sessions. We regularly recommend them to parents for individual support.”
