Thinking Skills Assessment Tutors
Keystone Tutors works with a range of specialist tutors who can assist students approaching university aptitude tests for competitive universities including the TSA. Our Thinking Skills Assessment tutors have extensive experience with the TSA, both through having successfully sat the test and then gone on to tutor it. If you are considering applying to top UK universities and need to sit the TSA, our tutors can help.
If you are applying to certain courses at UCL or Oxford University you will be required to sit the TARA (Test of Academic Reasoning). View our TARA tutors here. If you are unsure which admissions test you need to take, do give one of our client managers a call.

Feedback on our TSA tutors
"I am a very proud mum! My daughter was successful in receiving an offer from Oxford at her chosen college. What an amazing achievement. Thanks to you and all the team for your support, it was very worthwhile and very much appreciated."
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 TSA tutoring works
The TSA assesses problem-solving and critical thinking skills, and the tutors we represent can help students practice these skills across a variety of contexts. They work with students to build their confidence and familiarity with TSA-style questions, many of which students may not have encountered in the normal course of their studies.
Whether you need help with a specific section of the TSA, time management skills or comprehensive TSA preparation, our tutors will create a personalised plan based on your strengths, weaknesses, learning style and target course requirements. They can cover critical thinking strategies, problem-solving techniques for numeric and spatial reasoning and guidance on crafting a clear, persuasive Section 2 essay.

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 their target course.
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.
