Feedback on the Primary Maths tutors we work with
"Faizel is wonderful, thank you. He had my son captivated for an hour! Awesome in my books"
Mother of Year 3 student"My daughter was ‘full of it’ when she came off the call yesterday which was lovely. She said how she’d relaxed into it straight away and also said how amazing the online environment is. In fact she said to me she got more out of an hour with you yesterday than weeks with our local tutor or at school. Thank you!"

How our Primary Maths Tutoring Works
Our Primary Maths tutors are passionate about unlocking the joy of maths in young learners. Our tutors tailor the tuition to the individual needs and interests of each child.
Uniquely, Keystone exclusively employs over 60 full-time UK based tutors and also represents a highly select pool of freelance tutors. The Primary Maths tutors that are employed by Keystone go through a rigorous on-going training programme and have access to materials that Keystone has developed in-house.
Many of our Primary Maths tutors have prior teaching experience in primary and prep schools. They have an excellent grounding working with the KS1 & KS2 curriculum and have experience supporting young children with the rigors of the primary Maths curriculum and independent school entrance exams at 7+ and 8+.
Why parents come to Keystone for KS1 & KS2 Maths tutoring:
There is not a one size fits all approach to our primary Maths tutoring. What works for some children might not work for others, so our tutoring begins with an informal tutor led academic assessment. Along with a family’s academic aims, we use the results from this assessment to identify suggested areas to focus on within each tutoring session.
Parents come to Keystone for primary tutoring for a number of reasons:
- Building subject confidence: Our tutoring provides students with the tools to succeed in independent school entrance exams, KS2 SATs or end of term assessments. Individualised attention, tailored to the needs of each child, our tutoring addresses specific learning needs and particular areas of development, filling in learning gaps and building subject confidence. Our experienced tutors are able to identify subject misconceptions, work on a child’s understanding and give them the tools to apply their knowledge.
- Advanced learning: For those students applying for a competitive secondary school or looking to challenge themselves academically, our advanced tutoring allows children to explore Maths in greater depth than the school curriculum in preparation for secondary school.
- Learning difficulties and special education needs: We work with a team of tutors who have extensive experience teaching primary aged students with special educational needs. The 1-to-1 tutoring environment allows students with educational needs more time to access, process and reinforce their learning, and, importantly, to ask for support.
- Tutors for independent school entrance exams at 7+ and 8+: We work with a range of experienced Maths tutors who specialise in preparing children for the 7+ and 8+ entrance exams for leading UK independent prep schools. Read more about our 7+ tutors and 8+ tutors.

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

Prep School (Years 4 to 8) Reading Lists
Parents often ask us which books their children should be reading. In some respects, it’s the wrong question to ask – are there any books children shouldn't be reading? – but with children’s free-time seeming ever to shrink, there is certainly merit in searching out the best.
