Keystone Tutors represents a large team of passionate and experienced Classical Civilisation tutors who have experience of teaching Classics across the age spectrum from 11 years old up to undergraduate level. We can provide Classical Civilisation tuition tailored to specific exams, from GCSE Classical Civilisation to A Level and Classics Admissions Test (CAT) for Oxford University. Many of the Classics tutors we match with students are current or former teachers and have studied Classics 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 Classics papers, reinforcing core learning, developing revision techniques, and helping students to push the boundaries of their knowledge of Classics through super curricular learning. We also work with students who are looking to building their subject confidence in Classics.
Established in 2007, Keystone have helped over 10,000 students fulfil their educational potential. Uniquely, Keystone exclusively employs 60 full-time UK based tutors and also represents a highly select pool of freelance tutors. With offices in London, Hong Kong and Singapore and recommended by head teachers of top independent schools, we have an exceptional reputation for helping students (wherever they are in the world) achieve their best; delivering outstanding results, building confidence and instilling life-long intellectual curiosity.
We go the extra mile to match a great Classics tutor with your child and ensure a perfect fit.
When you request a Classics 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.
