Feedback on our Latin tutors
"Just wanted to thank you for recommending Jason to us. He has achieved a miracle with my son, who got his top mark with merit for Common Entrance exam at Westminster!!! His enthusiasm and patience together with love of the subject has passed on to my son who dreaded the school lessons, let alone homework in Latin. Jason was so understanding and accommodating as our timetable kept changing, that any other teacher would have probably given up on us! He is a gem! Thank you once again."
Mother of 13+ Latin Student"My son received his CE results from Eton and he managed to secure an A in Latin...my son is the first one to know how instrumental you have been in helping him in those weeks leading to the exam - he learned tons, developed a greater passion for the subject and was truly inspired by your teaching and character."

How our Latin tutoring works
Keystone Tutors represents a large team of passionate and experienced Latin tutors who have experience of teaching Latin across the age spectrum from 11 years old up to undergraduate level. We can provide Latin tuition tailored to specific exams, from GCSE Latin to A Level and Classics Admissions Test (CAT) for Oxford University. Many of the Latin tutors we match with students are current or former teachers and have studied Latin 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 Latin papers, reinforcing core learning, developing revision techniques, and helping students to push the boundaries of their knowledge of Latin through super curricular learning. We also work with students who are looking to building their subject confidence in Latin.

Finding the right tutor for each child
We go the extra mile to match a great Latin tutor with your child and ensure a perfect fit.
When you request a Latin 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.
