Teaching Methodology (Ages 13-15)

Learning in small groups (no more than 8 students and often fewer) ensures quality interaction with teachers, facilitating extensive questioning and interactive learning. Through this approach, our instructors guide participants through new biological concepts, assign practice tasks, and encourage group work, independent research, and homework discussions. Small classes promote active participation, enabling students to learn through engaging debates with peers and tutors.

Teaching Methodology (Ages 16-17 & 18-24)

Embrace the Oxford method with tutorial-style teaching, where expert tutors foster self-directed learning and critical thinking through interactive seminars in small groups (limited to 8 students). Throughout the course, participants undertake two pieces of independent work, meticulously evaluated in personalised 1:1 or 2:1 tutorials. These sessions not only provide valuable feedback but also encourage exploration of diverse biological perspectives within a supportive learning environment. Upon completion, participants receive a certificate and a personalised letter of recommendation from their tutor.
