Established in 2007, Keystone Tutors is one of the UK’s leading private tutoring organisations. With offices in London, Hong Kong and Singapore, we work with a range of experienced Classical (Ancient) Greek tutors who specialise in preparing children for school entrance exams, national exams, university admissions and general confidence building in Classical Greek.
Here is a sample of the Classical Greek tutors we represent:
Oliver has over 5 years tutoring experience and believes in developing a student's passion for the subject in order to help them learn. Oliver has recently completed a PhD in the History of Religious Studies and Psychology at UCL. He is currently training as a Psychotherapist alongside his teaching. He has supported 120 Keystone families teaching over 2,200 hours to date.

Ben has been tutoring for over a decade since he left Cambridge in 2012. He is an adaptable and patient tutor who teaches English and Maths up to GCSE and Latin and Greek up to A Level.
John is a Politics and Classical Civilisation tutor with a passion for learning and an impressive academic background. He encourages his tutees to become 'active learners' and to steer away from 'parrot-like' approaches to studying.
Julia is a highly experienced teacher, who was Head of Classics at a top London prep school for over 10 years before joining Keystone. She teaches English, French, Latin and Greek. Julia has a patient and nurturing approach, which allows her students to gain confidence in their studies.
"I’m not sure if you remember my son but you tutored him in Latin & Greek for the St Pauls & Westminster scholarship exams last year. I think I told you that he was offered places at both schools and chose St Paul’s. I just wanted to let you know that he’s doing incredibly well in both subjects and recently came top of the year in recent Latin exams and third in Greek. He’s chosen to take both subjects for GCSE and is really enjoying it. Your tutoring made such a difference to his ability, confidence and enjoyment in these subjects so I just wanted to thank you again."

Keystone Tutors represents a large team of passionate and experienced Classical Greek tutors who have experience of teaching Classical & Ancient Greek across the age spectrum from 11 years old up to undergraduate level. We can provide Classical & Ancient Greek tuition tailored to specific exams, from GCSE & IGCSE Classical Greek to A Level and IB Classical Greek. Many of the Classical Greek 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 Classical Greek papers, reinforcing core learning, developing revision techniques, and helping students to push the boundaries of their knowledge of Classical Greek through super curricular learning. We also work with students who are looking to building their subject confidence in Classical & Ancient Greek.
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 Classical Greek tutor with your child and ensure a perfect fit.
When you request a Classical Greek 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.

A Guide to Ancient History and Classical Archaeology Admissions Test (AHCAAT)

The AHCAAT (Ancient History and Classical Archaeology Admissions Test) is a new online test - introduced in 2024 - for all candidates applying for Classical Archaeology and Ancient History at Oxford University.

We can arrange Classical Greek tuition tailored to specific exams, from GCSE Classical Greek, to IB Classical Greek, and A Level Classical Greek. We help to improve exam performance by making use of past Classical Greek papers, reinforcing core learning, developing revision techniques, and helping students to push the boundaries of their knowledge of Classical Greek to differentiate themselves from fellow students.
GCSE Classical Greek students will need a solid grounding in the language itself, as well as on Classical Greek poetry, prose, and culture. The Classical Greek tutors we represent will help your child develop a fluent knowledge of the language, and maximise their ability to translate Classical Greek across a range of different authors. We aim to build up your child’s confidence, speed, and accuracy under pressure in Classical Greek, equipping them to excel at GCSE and IGCSE level.
IB Classical Greek is a challenging qualification, covering authors like Homer, Herodotus, Sophocles, and Euripides. Our Classical Greek tutors will help your child to gain a deeper understanding of the subject, develop their linguistic skills, and communicate their knowledge successfully in an exam context.
A Level Classical Greek is a well-respected subject and students have to master a wide range of complex grammar and vocabulary to succeed. Our Classical Greek tutors are able to focus in on those areas where your child needs additional support, help them to translate at a high level under time pressure, and ultimately prepare them to perform strongly in these key exams.
