What people say about us

These are just a few of the messages we have received from people who have studied at OISC recently or their parents and counsellors:

What a WONDERFUL PLACE! Great memories and so pretty! Miss
it so much. It taught me so much last summer. I wish I was back!

- Bailey, Oxford Summer Experience student, USA

If I had another chance I would definitely visit OISC again!

- Prim, summer course student, Thailand

Each lesson was special and funny, but also I learned a lot. Everything was
just perfect. Thank you for everything - I had the most wonderful time with
you!

- Kristyna, revision course student, Russia

“I had a teacher from God! I was extremely fortunate – he improved not only my knowledge of English
but of culture, religion, and the history of different countries. My practical experience at the patisserie was just perfect! It was exactly what I needed. All my goals were achieved. My level of English is
higher now, as well as practical experience in confectionery technology. Thanks to everybody who
works at OISC. It was a real pleasure to study there.”

- Ekaterina, full-time Gap Year student, Russia

“OISC provided everything I needed during these two weeks. Both Maths and Chemistry tutors were
brilliant and I gained a lot from their teaching.”

- Haokun, half-term revision student, Japan

“We think very highly of your revision courses and will continue to recommend them strongly to our
studentsbrilliant and I gained a lot from their teaching.”

- H.C, IB counsellor, Switzerland

“Mia arrived home last night, tired but very happy. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you both for everything you have done to help Mia acclimated into her 4 weeks’ life in Oxford. She came home excited and starting telling me all the things she did and people she met in Oxford, most of all the kindness you’ve shown in helping her.

This is a most valuable experience for Mia and students alike, in their academic studies, social and emotional development. The pictures and brochures she brought home reminded me just too well why I love UK life so much. She is of course talking about which Colleges she will apply to and is looking more and more toward UK.

Again, with my most sincere gratitude I thank you both and wish you a very pleasant summer and look forward to speaking to you both when we return to Oxford sometime, or if you ever travel to this side of the continent please do not hesitate to contact me, I would be honored to reciprocate the kindness you’ve shown to my daughter.”

“I just wanted to inform you that Eri was so happy about her lessons on Monday, and she couldn’t stop telling us how great and useful they were when she came back! She said because the lessons were so well organised, she could concentrate and enjoy the whole time, even though it was quite a long session and she normally finds it difficult to work for long hours without breaks. Thank you!”

- Akiko, international agent.

“The course of eight weeks of my son Yohannes now will end . I want to thank you and all the teachers for that excellent work all of you have done. It is not usual, that Yohannes says positive things about teachers. He has much fun, felt very well and the course was more than excellent! Thank you very much.

Because of this experience we want to send our daughter too.”
