Oxford Science Studies is an educational preparation centre, founded in 1997 by a group of teachers from the University of Oxford. Today, it is the only organisation in the UK that offers short intensive preparatory courses in most school subjects for GCSE, A-Level or IB exams.
Oxford Science Studies has over 100 teachers who are school teachers, PhDs, scientists, and some of them are A-level and GCSE examiners themselves. Most of the teachers are Oxford graduates who know what it takes to get the highest grades.
The aim of the courses is to help students of any level of preparation and ability get the best result in exams. The program is maximally adapted to the individual needs of each student - they themselves determine the subjects that they want to improve their knowledge of, and do not waste time on those in which they feel confident.
After completing their studies, 100% of graduates of the Oxford Science Studies courses recommend them to their friends.
The courses are held at St. Edward's School - a private boarding school located in Oxford, sometimes - on the territory of Oxford University College or Oxford International College.
Key factors
Help with all levels, be that GCSE, IGCSE, IB or A Level
Create a bespoke timetable, selecting the specific subjects to suit your needs, with the chance to focus on both subject content from the previous year and year ahead, depending on the subject requirements
The maximum number of students in a group is 6 people, on average - 2-4 people. This allows you to get maximum attention and support from the teacher.
Individual one-on-one training with a teacher is possible.
A completely individual approach - the student studies only what he needs: a subject (or several subjects), or a specific topic. Thus, the most effective use of his time and resources.
- Most students come to the courses on the recommendation of former Oxford Science Studies students and their parents. This is a significant indicator of the quality and effectiveness of training.
Program
A typical school day consists of 4 lessons on the subject and 3 practical exam sessions (each lasting 50 minutes). Any unclear topics are immediately discussed with the teacher so that the student does not have any questions about the material covered.
An important part of training is preparing for exams. As part of the program, practical classes are held after each lesson - students answer exam questions related to the material covered. This allows the student to identify gaps in knowledge and emerging difficulties, determine their level of preparedness, and gain practical experience in passing the exam.
Subjects that can be studied on the course (the list can be supplemented based on the individual needs of each student):
- Biology (including human biology)
- Business studies
- Chemistry
- Classical civilization
- Economics
- English language
- English literature
- French language
- Geography
