Oxford International Study Centre

We have many years’ experience in helping students improve their English Language skills in a friendly, international setting. All tutors on English Language programmes are native speakers, and are at least CELTA-qualified. Several also have the Diploma Level (DELTA) qualification.

We offer both individual and group tuition. Students wishing to take group tuition are placed into the most suitable class based on both their age and their level of English, which is assessed before arrival using our pre-course placement test.

We offer both General English and IELTS Preparation classes, at a range of levels, every week. Both options have classes at the same time, and the price is the same – so students can choose which option is best for them.

Course length is flexible: students can join a course for as little as 1 week, or for any number of weeks up to 1 or 2 years, depending on visa status. We typically recommend at least 2 weeks for a short course. Students can begin their programme on any Monday.

All students wishing to take a course of more than 8 weeks are interviewed via Skype or Zoom in advance of arrival, so that a realistic idea of how long it will take for them to achieve the required level can be given.

We also offer several specialist language options, including Business English, and English for Healthcare Professionals.

We welcome all age groups and levels. Students are assessed ahead of arrival, and there are four main course options for those taking General English:

- Standard Programme (15 hours of group classes per week)

- Intensive Programme (22.5 hours of group classes per week)

- Combined Programme (15 hours of group classes, plus additional 1:1 classes)

- Individual tuition (15 or 22.5 hours of 1:1 classes each week)
