Parent & Student Reviews

He valued highly this half term revision course. He found the content stimulating and useful. The week was a great motivator and provided valuable feedback for what he needed to work on. Additionally he enjoyed meeting other students on the course. The tutors were interested, engaged and provided unique insights.

He was extremely helpful and supportive, provided beneficial advice and study techniques to help my studies. I have learned so much of the course over the week with him.

Just a thank you tor helping my son, he really enjoyed the courses and got into his first choice of university. He achieved the grades he needed and the grade for his weakest subject went from Es to a C on results day so really it was life changing for him, so thank you. The courses were excellent and the booking process straightforward.

Thank you so much for arranging these three days. We didn't know what to expect - and he was rather reluctant to go. However. The tutors were great. The English and Maths tutors were bang on and covered a lot of relevant ground. He was so impressed by the maths tutors ability to make it look easier. It's just a shame that we don't have access to any support like that on a more regular basis. The gentleman historian was very knowledgeable and engaging too. The reports and suggested actions are much appreciated. Thank you very much to you and all your (very organised) team. It was a great experience.

Sincere thanks to all the tutors who worked with James throughout the week, he is very grateful for the time, support, availability and level of tutoring he received. Looking back, I now wish he actually spent at least another week or two on this program. The tutor really made an amazing impact... it's so great when a tutor manages to establish a personal rapport in such a short period of time and how this translates into students' willingness to work just a little harder...

Thanks for sending the three reports through, really helpful (and for the future) and good to read. We were not sure how he would engage with the week but he did. We were sure in the quality of the tutoring…..but it must have been exceptional! Thanks again for everything.

I want to pass on our thanks to everyone at OXSS, she had a fabulous week and came home feeling so much more confident in her ability and with a renewed purpose! She said her tutor was wonderful, explained everything so well and lessons were so helpful. She has asked to come again in the Christmas and Easter holidays next academic year! She felt supported and made some great friends too.

He said that the teacher was really excellent and his one and half days spent with him were better than the whole term with his school teacher! Thought that you might appreciate some feedback on the recent revision course that Sam did over the Easter holidays. He said that it was really excellent and helped him enormously, particularly the Spanish one-to-ones he had. He said that the teacher was really excellent and his one and half days spent with him were better than the whole term with his school teacher! Overall he really got a lot out of it and although he was a little reluctant and didn’t have great expectations to start with by the end of the first day he had completely changed his mind Anyway fingers crossed for the forthcoming exams and well done, we were delighted!

She said that this was one of her best holiday weeks. The teaching she said was just simply amazing, on another level. I can’t thank you guys enough, not only did she enjoy and understand chemistry but she felt that she was part of a unique group of students all with the same purpose. She made some fantastic friends and it was really a week to remember for a long time still to come. She is very keen to join your May and Summer camps. Will be arranging those in the next week if bookings are open. Please extend our gratitude to the wonderful teaching and support staff who made our kids experience what it was.

May I thank you for the past two days. Tollie has learned SO much and feels so much more confident. In particular, Tlue said that "the tutor was so dynamic" and that "he explained all the background so I could understand WHY as well as WHAT". Please say a huge thank you to the tutor!"

Thank you so much to you and all the team and tutors at OXSS for your care and support with James. James said he found both days ‘really useful’ which is very high praise from him.

Our daughter had tutoring with OXSS towards her IGCSEs and without doubt the tutoring through OXSS helped her achieve excellent results. She had tutors for a range of subjects and without exception they were all excellent; they really honed in on her weaknesses and areas she needed help with and gave her the confidence to perform well.

They are a very professional, responsive and flexible tuition provider. They carefully listen to understand your exact requirements and tailor their provision to meet the students needs. Would thoroughly recommend.

OXSS has been a fantastic resource for our son. Valuable personal tuition tailored to his needs which is a really valuable complement to his school studies.

Thank you for being so helpful for this course yet again! It was fun yet challenging to be back, the course was very helpful and I will definitely recommend it to others!

I've been meaning to send you this mail for a while now, but wanted to wait for his new results to come in. You'll be happy to know that he was the only person in his Economics A' Level set to sit the retake exam and actually move his predicted grade up. No mystery there: hard work and top notch tutoring can make all the difference. Thank you, to you and all his tutors, for helping him achieve this. It was quite a challenging period for him, bang in the middle of his summer holidays, but he saw the benefits early on and just cracked on with it. Who knows, he may even plan a second visit before the big event? What I particularly appreciated about my experience with OXSS was the speed of communication, the dedication and the generous and early and transparent sharing of information. I felt that both teaching and administration staff were invested in their roles, taking time to write quite in depth reports and always on hand to answer queries and solve minor hiccups.

I am writing to let you know that we received the results for the IGCSE exam for English. We want to thank you for the excellent environment provided by Oxford Science Studies and all the teachers that helped her for the final preparation.

Just wished to say thanks for the amazing revision week - she found it extremely useful. The tutors in each subject were excellent and have given her great direction for her exams. I would have no hesitation in recommending OXSS.

Thank you for yet another excellent revision course for my daughter, she has really benefited from the time and patience that this course and the fantastic tutors provide.

Just wanted to let you know that George passed his three A Levels and has a place at University. Sixth form has been a long and rocky road, but with the support of his Oxford studies tutors on the revision courses at Christmas and Easter he has managed to finish his education with three A Level passes which is something we weren’t too sure would be the case. Please can you pass on our thanks to his tutors.

My daughter attended a one day Christmas revision session and then a week long Easter session for A level. Overall she scored A*AB, with which we are delighted. The biggest success, however, was her Classical Studies grade. She struggled with several staff changes at her school and achieved Grade C in her mock examinations - after your support she secured an A in her final examination! We are extremely pleased and hope to use your services again for our second daughter who begins A Levels this year.

I really enjoyed coming to OXSS and I definitely improved my grades as a result! I had a great time and I genuinely will miss it! I am quite sad as to how events turned out this year as I was looking forward for OXSS. Thank you very much for all your help and do stay safe!

Simply put... I went from a D to an A...with only 3 sets of sessions. I was really struggling with maths and I couldn't understand why but just a few days with these courses and I was really understanding how having an excellent teacher can help. All the teaching staff are friendly and clearly love the subject. I remember each one individually and everything they taught us. The environment was very calm and small classes make asking questions easy and getting detailed answers in return. The coordinating staff are always helping out and solving any issues. They're all extremely friendly and supportive. Certainly money well spent as I made my first choice and vastly exceeded what I thought I could achieve!
