Flexible Tuition Offerings

OXSS believe in continued study throughout the year. Their offerings run year-round, with support available for students during the half term and holidays. As well as during the term time, as supplementary to their school hours. With a mixture of in-person and online course delivery, their offerings are accessible to all students. OXSS create a bespoke timetable for each student, which can vary from a couple of hours, a full day or a full week of tuition. Holiday courses are available on a day only or residential basis and can provide students with an insight to the boarding life experience.

Safe Tutoring Environment

OXSS are committed to providing a safe tutoring environment and to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. Their tutors go through a rigorous recruitment process and successful applicants are subject to comprehensive checks. They have an enhanced DBS check as well as other relevant local checks. They must provide references, and undertake Safeguarding and Prevent training courses.

Engaging, Expert Tutors

The tutors at OXSS are experts in their subject fields, keen to show their enthusiasm and impart insight. The small class environment allows students and tutors to work closely together. This enables focus on those specific areas in need of review. Many tutors work for each course and frequently find themselves welcoming back familiar faces for additional term time support. A great way for students to have continued support and make further progress.

Focus on multiple subjects

Courses are available for students aged 14 to 19 years, focusing on their GCSE, IGCSE, IB and A Level studies. Options are also available outside of this. With bespoke timetables available for those looking perhaps instead at the 11+ or introduction to degree level.

Understanding that students focus on multiple subjects, OXSS offer students the opportunity to focus on multiple subjects per course. For an Easter or Summer Course, this would include up to 3 subject options per week, with one and a half days spent on each.

For half term and holiday courses, students use a trusted test-teach method with 50-minute tutorials followed by exam practice.

They review subject content first, then apply learning through independent work to reinforce understanding and retention. This continual process helps uncover knowledge gaps and improves familiarity with question types and how to approach them effectively. Ultimately, it boosts confidence, exam readiness, and overall academic development.

The timetable for Easter and Summer Courses also incorporates Study Skills. Interactive sessions that include areas for further development, such as problem solving, as well as focusing on topics such as how we learn, and how by understanding this we can apply set skills to our revision.

Small class sizes and the option for one-to-one tuition

With bespoke timetables created for each student, the class sizes offered for half term and holiday courses are relatively small, with a maximum of 6 students timetabled per class, and an average that is usually less than this.  Half term courses and the Year-Round Online Tuition is also available on a one-to-one basis.

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.

Reports provided

Following the course, all parents/guardians receive detailed reports, 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 or future studies.

Evening activities for relaxation included in residential holiday courses

For those residential students attending a holiday revision course over Easter or the summer, OXSS also offer an Evening Entertainment Programme, with 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.

Further Study

Students that attend an OXSS course tend to go back, year on year, having help from GCSE/IGCSE through to A Level and IB. OXSS offer support students beyond this, through the University process. Their University Preparation courses focus on the fundamental aspects of university applications of Personal Statement development, Admissions Tests and Interview Preparation.
