Keystone Tutors are unique in that we employ over 60 full-time UK based tutors on an exclusive basis and also represent a highly select pool of freelance tutors. You tell us your needs and we will work to find a teacher that fits your specifications.
Keystone is committed to protecting the welfare and wellbeing of both students and staff. At the outset of an assignment we will have a discussion with the school to ensure our tutors are familiar and compliant with the school’s safeguarding procedures. We follow safer recruitment as set out by the Department for Education guidelines. When recruiting and onboarding our tutors, we conduct all of the following:
Should you require additional checks, we could be happy to support with this.
Keystone has one of the most rigorous selection criteria for tutors in the sector. Our tutors are dedicated professionals, who commit to regular training and ongoing professional development. For those schools who need it, we can limit our selection to those tutors with QTS. We will only put forward tutors who we believe have the sufficient capability and expertise to teach to the highest standards for each particular course. We will share full details of each tutor’s prior experience and it is incumbent upon the school to determine if that meets their requirements.
When sourcing tutors for our school programs we use best endeavors to pick tutors who can commit to the full course. However, every now and again it is possible that a tutor will become unavailable due to unforeseen circumstances. If this happens, we will look to replace the tutor with a suitably qualified alternative, approved by the school.
Take a look at the support we can offer for Oxbridge & University Preparation; A Levels, GCSEs and IB; Enrichment & Extension; and SEND & EAL. Tell us your needs and the timetable we need to work to.
Based on your requirements we'll suggest suitable tutors for you to consider to support your students.
Keystone will provide the tutor but it is important that the teaching is tailored to your requirements. We will meet you first to understand your needs then meet collectively with you and the tutor to ensure the following expectations and responsibilities are made clear:
