“I was absolutely thrilled with the report for Evdokia. It was a real educational treat. In all 25 years of my work with British education I haven’t received such a thorough analysis of the subject the difficulties the student has. It will be interesting to watch her progress. Thank you for finding great tutors for all our students.”

The programme and what to expect

The OISC Easter courses include:

  • Small group (maximum 6 students) or one-to-one tuition, providing an intensive level of personal attention not often found in the classroom setting, and enabling material to be covered at a student’s individual pace.
  • An opportunity to go over material which the student has previously been found difficult, or where there have been gaps in syllabus coverage;
  • Assignments and tests, with effective feedback, allowing a student to see exactly where marks are being dropped, and how best to avoid these deductions.
  • Comprehensive reports at the end of the programme, to allow students to continue making good progress with independent study.

OISC include these features as standard, and supports students working towards any of the following exams:

  • A– Level and (I)GCSE, with all syllabuses and subjects offered
  • IB at HL and SL, (including ToK and Extended Essay support if required)
  • English Language Exams, including IELTS, TOEFL and Cambridge, as well as general support in EFL for non-native speakers taking other academic subjects
    German Abitur. A separate leaflet is available on request .
  • University Entrance, including Oxford and Cambridge. Advice is offered on UCAS applications, interviews, and personal statement drafting, if required.
