OXFORD LEARNING
At The Oxford Institute, we are dedicated to providing a holistic and personalised learning experience that celebrates the uniqueness of every student. Since our inception, we have upheld our core values of individual attention, understanding that each participant brings their own strengths, knowledge, and areas for growth. By working with small, carefully selected batches, we can focus on each student, tailoring our approach to nurture their true passions. We believe that learning is a lifelong journey, and regardless of age, we remain as much students of life as we are educators. For us, teaching is a two-way process where the exchange of ideas enriches both students and teachers.
Our philosophy centres on the belief that the best learning happens when students pursue their passions, engage their curiosity, and cultivate a questioning mind. Our teaching methods are designed to maximise individual attention, empowering students to think critically, communicate effectively, and build essential skills for lifelong, independent learning. We encourage students to explore their interests both within and beyond the classroom, fostering a love for learning that extends far beyond their time with us.
All courses are taught in tutorials - students are assigned in groups of 1 to 3 to have intensive daily sessions with their tutors, who are leading scholars and researchers at Oxford University.
Tutorials create intimate and personalised learning environments. Students get the chance to comprehensively examine their chosen subject by interacting with experts in the field. Tutorials introduce students to novel and cutting edge research in their subject areas, provoke challenging questions, or inspire them to think outside of their comfort zone.
Tutorials are highly flexible and feedback-oriented. The content and pace of learning is shaped by the interests and goals of the student. Tutors are also trained to develop students’ thoughts and ideas, enhance critical thinking and communication skills, and identify areas of improvement. Having a direct relationship with tutors also makes the learning fun and engaging.
Our students have consistently found tutorials to be the most enriching component of our Summer Programme.
