The importance of carefully-planned revision during school holidays cannot be over-stated. A term’s worth of thorough work and diligently completed assignments can be undone with the wrong attitude to private study. However, a well-structured revision programme can be the difference between a mediocre grade and a strong one.

OISC is a well-established international school situated in a historic building in the centre of Oxford. The college is accredited by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (grade one, ‘exceeds expectations’, in all categories), and by the Council of British International Schools (COBIS). We are also members of the European Association for International Education, and the Educational Collaborative for International Schools (ECIS).

Every year we have helped students to realise their true potential by offering small group and individual tuition in over 30 different subjects for A-Level, (I)GCSE, and IB, and a range of other  examinations. A short revision course with experienced Oxford tutors, particularly at this critical stage before the May/June ’23 exam session, can make a lot of difference to final results. 

We continue to offer online tuition on request for students who are

not able to attend the course in person in Oxford.

The OISC Half Term and Easter Revision Programmes

An effective revision programme should include these features:

• An opportunity  to go over material which the student has previously been found difficult, or where there have been gaps in syllabus coverage;
• Small group (maximum 6 students) or one-to-on tuition, providing an intensive level of personal attention not often found in the classroom setting and enabling material can be covered at a student’s individual pace;
• Assignments and tests, allowing a student to see exactly where marks are being dropped, and how best to avoid these deductions.

The OISC revision programmes include:

• Tuition led by experienced and fully qualified Oxford tutors , some of whom are also examiners;
• Revision programmes for a wide range of  curricula:

-A level, AS, (I)GCSE, with all syllabuses and subjects offered.
