| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
Founded by Edward Greene in 1967, Greene’s is Oxford’s oldest tutorial college and has seen approximately 15,000 international students pass through its doors. Our individualised programmes are rooted in the tutorial system, a method of learning synonymous with the University of Oxford. We have remained true to this educational philosophy for decades, which allows us to design courses of individual tuition for all students, regardless of their background. In 2017, on the occasion of its 50th anniversary, Greene’s opened a sister College in Portugal and became the first educational institution to bring the tutorial system to the country. Whether face-to-face, online or blended, students all over the world can benefit from the highest-quality tuition, which has always been the hallmark of a Greene’s Oxford education. |
| Teaching approach of the school |
Our Tutorial Method of learning comprises the principle of treating you as an individual and cultivating your confidence, critical thinking, ability to work with others, effective oral and written communication and independent learning skills. In today’s world, information is more freely available and accessible than ever before and we believe that our method, which focuses on the processing of concepts, ideas and knowledge through discussion, is more relevant than ever. Learning is not only about memorising, practising, and examinations. It is also about the ability to reason, debate, and think independently – all attributes that need to be developed for future
Often at school you are taught in a group then given homework to practise and consolidate what you have learnt. In a tutorial environment you will first study independently by reading, problem
“Teaching, learning and assessment are excellent and consistently high quality. Tutorials have a coherent structure and are used very effectively to meet individual needs; consequently, students learn well
