Teaching Methodology (Ages 13-15)

Learning in small groups, typically comprising no more than 8 students (often fewer), ensures that each participant receives personalised attention from their teacher. Through interactive learning, our educators guide students through new concepts, assign practice tasks to enhance their knowledge and skills, and facilitate group discussions, independent research, and homework assignments. In our small classes, every voice is valued, fostering lively debates and collaborative learning experiences.

Teaching Methodology (Ages 16-17 & 18-24)

Embrace the Oxford method with tutorial-style teaching, where our expert tutors facilitate self-directed learning and critical thinking through interactive seminars in small groups (limited to 8 students). Throughout the course, participants undertake two pieces of independent work, be it essays or problem sheets, meticulously evaluated in personalised 1:1 or 2:1 tutorials. These sessions not only provide valuable feedback but also encourage students to explore diverse perspectives within their philosophical inquiries. Upon completion, participants receive a certificate and a personalised letter of recommendation from their tutor.

"I enjoyed our conversations about religion and ethics in the philosophy class at Oxford Summer Courses summer school because they enabled me to form a more complex opinion on those topics with the help of our in-depth discussions."
