Teaching Methodology (Ages 13-15)
Experience learning in small groups (with no more than 8 students and often fewer), ensuring individual attention from instructors. Through interactive sessions, our educators will guide participants through foundational concepts in natural sciences, assign practice tasks, and facilitate group activities such as collaborative research and homework discussions. Small class sizes encourage active participation, enabling students to engage in lively debates and learn from both their peers and tutors.
Teaching Methodology (Ages 16-17)
Embrace the Oxford approach with tutorial-style teaching, led by expert tutors who encourage self-directed learning and critical thinking in interactive seminars within small groups (limited to 8 students). Throughout the course, participants will complete two pieces of independent work, which will be meticulously evaluated in personalised 1:1 or 2:1 tutorials. These sessions offer a platform for constructive feedback and discourse, allowing students to gain new insights from their peers and tutors. Upon completion, participants will receive a certificate and a personalised letter of recommendation from their tutor.
