How our A Level History tutoring works
Keystone has a range of specialist tutors who can assist students approaching A Level History. The A Level History tutors we work with have a thorough knowledge of the various exam boards and can assist students approaching A Levels and university admissions tests for History including the HAT and HAA.
Many of the History tutors we match with students are current or former teachers and have studied History at top universities, including Oxford and Cambridge.
All tutoring is tailored to the individual needs of each child based on their strengths, areas of development, learning style and their subject exam board.
We can help to improve exam performance by making use of past History papers, reinforcing core learning, developing revision techniques, and helping students to push the boundaries of their knowledge of History through super curricular learning.
About Keystone Tutors

Finding the right tutor for each child
We go the extra mile to match a great tutor with your child and ensure a perfect fit.
When you request a tutor through Keystone we spend a significant amount of time learning about your circumstances. Priding ourselves on how well we know our tutors’ specialist strengths, we ensure that we put forward the very best tutor for your requirements.
During the first session the tutor starts by assessing where the child is at, their academic ability, their strengths and perceived weaknesses. Tutors will then devise a programme tailored to the specific circumstances of the student and their exam board.
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.

Articles on A Level History
History Admissions Assessment (HAA) Cambridge
Cambridge’s History Admissions Assessment, or HAA, is still a relatively new exam. It launched only in 2016, when the abolition of AS-levels deprived the university of a favoured metric which its colleges had used, up to that point, to help determine admissions decisions in history in place of a written exam in the style of Oxford’s well-established HAT.
The Oxford History Admissions Test (HAT)
The History Admissions Test (HAT) – previously the History Aptitude Test – is a source-based test that all History students applying to study at Oxford University must sit. The test format might be unfamiliar to A-level or IB History students, being a test of skills, rather than substantive historical knowledge. It is therefore well worth familiarising yourself with parameters and format, as well as details of registering for the test as set out below.
