Course description

When OISE was founded in Oxford over 50 years ago, it delivered all of its courses by Tutorial. The
Tutorial™ lesson, a teaching tradition of Oxford University, is one of the most effective methods of
education. The entire course is conducted by means of individual tuition thus allowing the lessons to
be adapted to the precise level and goals of each participant.

The cognitive perspective of students can vary considerably; this explains why the Tutorial is such
a powerful learning environment: in the lessons, the teacher focuses on the one student, and can
therefore tailor the pedagogic approach to the pupil’s natural learning mindset.

The programme is composed of 15 hours of Tutorials per week.
