Oxford Science Studies Easter Revision Course

Get Exam Ready with Bespoke, Subject Specific, Student Led Revision Courses

Oxford Science Studies (OXSS), revision specialists since 1997 will be holding their biggest course of the year over the Easter holidays.  Offering students the chance to maximise their holiday time, studying in a structured learning environment, students can benefit from time with expert tutors, available to assist with challenging topics or content.  Running for 3 weeks, this in person course is offered on a day only or residential basis, held at the glorious campus location of St Edward’s School, on the Woodstock Road in Oxford.  Tuition takes place Monday through Friday, with students required to attend the full week. 

Focus on multiple subjects per week

Courses are available for students aged 14 to 19 years, focusing on their GCSE, IGCSE, IB and A Level studies.  Understanding that students focus on multiple subjects, OXSS offer students the opportunity to focus on up to 3 subject options per week, with one and a half days spent on each.  Their trusted test and teach method, with tutorials lasting up to an optimum length of 50 minutes, followed by independent exam practice, allows students to review subject content, then putting learning into practice.  A process of continual learning and development, allowing students to uncover any gaps, gain better familiarity and understanding of the types of questions they will face, and how to approach them, as well as aiming to boost overall confidence.

Small class sizes with a student-led approach

With bespoke timetables created for each student, the class sizes offered are relatively small, with a maximum of 6 students timetabled per class.  Classes are relatively specific allowing students to get the help that they need.  With their student-led approach, students are advised to attend with a list of topics in mind that they would like to focus on.  This means that they are best prepared and can review this with the tutors at the start of their teaching, making the most of their time.

Evening activities for relaxation included too

For those residential students, OXSS also offer an Evening Entertainment Programme, offering activities aimed at providing some relaxation time, as well as the chance to work on personal development, interacting with new people and building friendships.  Activities may include a visit from a Magician, debate, or gaming nights, as well as various sports.

Reports provided

Following the course, all parents/guardians receive detailed reports for each of the subjects, giving feedback regarding the topics covered as well as areas for future study.  These can be instrumental in guiding students in their final stages of revision.

Follow up assistance available

OXSS also offer Year-Round Online Subject Tuition which provides the perfect opportunity for students to carry on any work started during their Easter Revision Course, even requesting a specific tutor.  This is available by the hour, at dates and times to suit them.  Ideal in the lead up to exams.
