Flexi-Schooling
Through the years of homeschooling support, Keystone have often worked with students who are still enrolled in a school but who are unable to continue to attend full time.
How does it work?
Some students may need a flexible schedule due to health concerns, extracurricular commitments, or temporary breaks from formal schooling. Keystone Tutors offers support in these situations by working collaboratively with schools to maintain learning continuity.
Our approach includes:
- Coordinated Learning: Tutors can liaise directly with school teachers and directors of studies, ensuring that private lessons align seamlessly with the school curriculum.
- Dual Learning Programmes: Students can participate in both private lessons and school classes, or keep up with school learning even when not physically present.
Keystone’s team also manages any required administration to keep the process smooth, providing your child with a consistent, tailored learning experience.
"My daughter is doing absolutely great! Thanks to you guys she now loves the academic side of school more than the performing arts. She is not finding the academics difficult at all and she was so scared beforehand. Everyone at school now thinks she is very bright and academically prepared!"

Our homeschooling services
Dedicated Homeschooling Manager
Dedicated Homeschooling Manager (Included with Standard & Premium Package)
Your dedicated Homeschooling Manager, will get to know your family and will be available via phone or email to help with timetabling, regular parent catch-ups and to answer any questions. Each student has regular chances to catch up with their homeschooling manager, to give them a chance to feedback on how things are going and to raise any issues or queries. This gives students a chance to feedback on how their week has gone, how they are finding their lessons and to raise any issues or queries.
Reports, Parents Meetings and Progress Checks
Reports and Assessments (Included with Standard & Premium Package)
Written reports are emailed out each half term. Each tutor writes one, detailing what has been covered that term, how your child is doing and how they have been assessed. These are very useful for parents and guardians and can also be sent to future schools that ask for school reports. Students will be assessed formally at the end of each term, as well as regular informal tests to track progress.
Parents Meetings (Included with Premium Package)
At the end of each term, we offer parents meetings – a chance for you as parents or guardians to have a 15-minute conversation with each tutor, where they can recap the term's achievements and what has been covered. It is a good opportunity to get to know the tutors and to raise any questions. These ae typically online unless lessons are taking place face-to-face.
Study Skills Programme
Study Skills (Included with Premium Package)
Up to six hours of study skills sessions are available each term to help with organising homework, manging students time and helping them revise for any upcoming exams.
Example study skills:
- Revision techniques and common revision myths
- Note-taking
- Timetabling
- General organisation
- Planning independent study
- Organising materials and notes effectively
- Developing an effective working schedule (including understanding when and what conditions are most effective)
- How to approach exam papers and the lead up to exams
Super-Curricular Programme
Super-Curricular (Included with Premium Package)
Our super-curricular learning programmes seek to develop and extend a student’s love of learning. They encourage students to build on areas of interest as well as exploring entirely new areas of learning. Our Premium Package includes up to 24 hours of super-curricular sessions throughout the year.
They are a chance for your child to join a small group of similar aged students and each term the focus will be on a different topic (incorporating aspects of critical thinking, current affairs, politics or financial literacy). Outside of these sessions, children will be set reading and optional research to enhance their understanding and discussions in the sessions.
Example super-curricular topics:
- Prime Numbers – Inspired by "The Music of the Primes" by Marcus du Sautoy. A course aimed at exploring the many fascinating things there are to learn about prime numbers, from their role in cybersecurity to their amazing history.
- Philosophy for Children
- Debating Club
- Drama Club – Focusing on famous plays or works of fiction
- Creative Writing – Children will look at great examples of descriptive writing, both modern and classical, and will discuss what makes them so powerful and timeless. They will have a go at writing for different purposes: to scare the reader, to make the reader laugh, to make the reader feel a sense of awe and wonder.
Exam Registration
Exam Registration (Included with Premium Package)
We can register your child for national exams including GCSEs, IGCSEs, and A Levels.
We have good relationships with a number of exam centres in London, and we are also partnered with Greene’s College, Oxford, who can assist with examinations.
Whether or not we are registering your child for their exams, if there are any issues either mental or physical, that may require special consideration, do alert your exam centre and Keystone Tutors as soon as possible. The exam centre can then apply to the exam board for special consideration on your behalf.

Mother of Homeschooled Student“I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the immeasurable support and guidance you have provided my daughter throughout her journey of learning the Italian ab initio course.Reflecting on the past two academic years, I am certain she has been very fortunate to have had the privilege of being your student. Your unwavering dedication, patience, and belief in her abilities have been a source of immense strength during some periods of IB-related stress. Your encouragement and relentless support have made all the difference, and I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I am to be able to count on you. Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done for my daughter. I cannot wait to receive the IB results in the summer and share them with you.”
