"Instead of just another high school lecture-style class, my tutor at Oxford Summer Courses made the summer school class engaging and interesting. So, at the end of a 3-hour session, all I wanted to do was learn more."
Brett, USA
"The best part of my classes at Oxford Summer Courses would be the insight they’ve provided towards looking at history from different perspectives, and how important it is to properly gauge the usefulness of a source in your given essay. The summer school experience has been enriching and has allowed me to broaden my understanding of historical analysis."
