The tutorial method adopted by Greene’s is fantastic since it gives the tutor a chance to engage with the student on a personal level – something which can be hard to achieve with a larger class. The tutorial method really does allow for extremely rapid improvement; it is so satisfying to see someone suddenly grasp a concept with which they have previously struggled, or to watch them get excited and passionate about the subject as their knowledge of it broadens.

The Oxford tutorial method is one of the most distinctive and recognized in the world, as it gives students ample amounts of opportunity to explore their own ideas and discuss them freely without any hesitation with their tutors. And for a passionate teacher like me, this is the best possible way to serve students and in turn society.

I find the tutorial method of teaching so productive: when you run a tutorial you can shape your teaching to the way your student actually learns. If something comes easily you can move on to more challenging material, while if something isn’t working you can change your approach immediately.

I enjoy introducing the beauty of art and science to students. I especially enjoy tutorial teaching, because it allows students to receive personalized suggestions on their specific issues, improving their abilities quickly in a short period of time.

I am enthusiastic about teaching, and particularly the tutorial method, because I think it allows for one-on-one interaction and attention to a student’s own individual needs, developing strengths and improving weaknesses, allowing a student to become more independent and responsible for learning at their greatest potential.

The one-to-one tutorial teaching method used by Greene’s allows A-level/ GCSE students to comfortably ask any questions during tutorial. With properly personal-tailored guidance and mentoring, student’s imagination is often captured by such subjects and their full potential can therefore be realised...It is amazing to see many of my students drastically improve over a relatively short period of time.
