Feedback on our PAT tutors
"Nic is an amazing tutor! I just received an offer to study at Merton [College, Oxford] next year and I could not have done it without his help and explanations both for PAT and interviews! Could not recommend him enough."
Mother of Oxbridge Candidate"Many thanks for all your support for my son, it made a huge difference and I am sure he would not have had an interview in Oxford without your help. He enjoyed working with you and learnt a lot in a very short time!"

How our PAT tutoring works
The PAT is a demanding test, requiring breadth and depth of knowledge across Mathematics and Physics. It also covers some topics which applicants may not have been taught in school.
The tutors we represent can help students cover such topics in detail, checking against the full syllabus covered by the test, and supporting them in independent learning. They can take your child through practice papers to familiarise them with the time pressure and challenging nature of this exam and focus on developing areas of strength and reinforcing those areas which your child finds challenging. They can also help students become more confident at thinking laterally across the range of topics and techniques they have learned, in order to solve the most difficult questions.
All tutoring is tailored to the individual needs of each child based on their strengths, weaknesses, learning style and the entrance procedures of the course they are applying to.

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 and university institution experience, 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 your target university.
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.
