"What an unforgettable experience!"

I've never had experience like this before so I can't compare. But lovely school, friendly atmosphere, great teachers and location rightt in the center of the beautiful city like Oxford is - what more could you ask for? Regarding to housing - why didn't anyone tell me that Sunita is a fantastic cook?:-) The accommodation was just comfortable, I can't complain. However - there is one thing I didn't like - my stay was too short and Oxford took a part of my heart - so be it, I will have to go back again...

The hours were interesting and very different than in my country, the teachers were very kind, I liked their approach to the students and their way of teaching. The location of the school is great, you can't get lost. I'd say the only drawback to this location is probably the traffic noise.The afternoon activities were amazing, we got to know Oxford a little bit, also I very much enjoyed our visit to the universities of Oxford. lt was a unique experience.

Even though I decided to enroll in the course just before the opening day, the manager (Ben) were kind enough to allow me to attend the classes, for which I am very grateful. Thanks to this, I was able to use my free time during the trip to learn English, which was a great experience.
I especially enjoyed interacting with my classmates, who came from a wide range of countries in Europe, India, the Middle East and Asia, and had a great summer. The teachers were all professional, with a good sense of humor and long teaching experience. The classes were very enjoyable. Also, the additional private lessons I took were very rich in experience, and the teacher gave me the secrets to extend my writing skills, which is one of the hardest parts of IELTS to score. For all these reasons. I would highly recommend this school.
During those week I liked almost everything, maybe the school was a bit smaller than I imagined but it was a really nice experience by all the point of view.
"After the initial difficulties, quickly they helped me and gave me effective solution, with excellent teachers."

The teachers were prepared, managed the topics dynamically. Given that I know the learned english language better, than the ordinary language, the level of the morning groups was somewhat higher in the absence of my practical experience. I didn't use the housing service. I really like the old type of buildings, as was the school building.
School was good location is ok facilities was good I really enjoyed the trip and the learning way that the teachers explained and dealt with the students.
I have spent a great time at the Oxford International Study Centre and I have improved may English knowledge at this period. But I believe that some points could be improved in the course.
The main question that I have is about the few numbers of English Levels. The intermediate group was in a very incipient level. That fact has contributed to putting together students with quite different English level at the advanced level.
Another point was about the division of morning classes. I believe that should be more beneficial to the students if it the classes could be organized in three main topics: grammar, writing class and conversation.
The last point is about the certificate which did not show the level that the student has attended.
"The school employs a team that is capable of teaching a child to speak fluent English freely with people. It is straightforward with no discomfort during and after the entire course. The child gains experience in which he can speak not only freely, but also correctly."

The teacher teaches the subject to every student in their own way. If the student does not understand the material, the teacher is sure to help or at least try to solve this problem. I did not like that the homework was given on separate sheets of paper. At the beginning of the second week the table was in these papers, with one also at the end of my training. I was upset when all the sheets fell on the street and I had to collect them. This is probably the only negative thing about the school (although it may have a small problem), and it was not so important for me.
Homestays are carefully selected and all families have undergone DBS checks. We are able to offer special diets on request . Families are either a short bus ride from the city centre, or within walking distance.
Rooms in the student residence offer en-suite bathrooms, with communal kitchens and living areas. Various residences are used throughout the year. Residence accommodation is subject to availability. Breakfast and dinner are included, and all rooms are within easy walking distance of OISC.
During the summer - and at other times of year, subject to availability - we can arrange for students to stay in one of the famous colleges of the University of Oxford. Rooms are en-suite, and breakfast and dinner, served in college, are included.
This is a unique experience and offers students the opportunity to live like an Oxford student.
