Our Courses

Courses at Oxford School of English are of very high quality and are competitively priced. Our school is accredited by the British Council. Our minimum age is 16.

Students can join the school any Monday and can study for any period, from one week to one year or more. There are four terms in one year, with three terms timed to end with the Cambridge examinations. Students wishing to take a Cambridge examination can join one of our Cambridge Exam Preparation courses, which run between September and June every year (please ask at reception or contact us for exact dates).

Please see all courses we offer at the bottom of this page.

  • Each level uses a different coursebook as a basis for the course, though these are supplemented by the teachers according to the collective and individual needs of the students. All students are required to purchase the correct coursebook for their classes. All coursebooks, as well as a range of supplementary books are available from the school.

  • Our teachers all use interactive smartboards to teach their lessons. This allows them to make use of online resources such as video clips and online resources from the coursebooks. By doing this, the teachers bring the outside world into the classroom, something that our students have said they like very much.

  • All our teachers are experienced professionals, highly valued by students and the school. They are friendly, helpful and genuinely interested in our students and their progress.

    All our teachers hold a recognised teaching qualification - generally the Cambridge CELTA or Trinity Cert TESOL - and many of them hold additional qualifications, which may include the Cambridge DELTA, Trinity Dip TESOL, MA and MSc Applied Linguistics.

    Students are given the chance to hold regular meetings with their teachers and other members of the academic team to discuss their progress in English and to ask any questions they may have about the school and their learning.

  • There is a maximum of 15 students per class. Usually there are around 10 students per class.
