Individual Tuition - Greene's Tutorial College

Situated in the heart of Oxford, Greene’s delivers individual tuition to hundreds of students every year. Greene’s tutors are experts in their subjects and are trained to deliver tuition in line with the Greene’s tutorial method of learning.

There is a wide range of subjects across which we can provide you with expert tuition whatever your level. Each student taking individual tuition at Greene’s benefits from being taught by a carefully selected and trained tutor. After every tutorial you will receive a written report that:

provides you with written feedback on the tutorial

grades your tutorial performance for achievement and effort

grades your homework for achievement and effort

records your attendance and punctuality

calculates the degree to which you are learning independently (the IOI)

specifies the homework which is required for the following tutorial

These reports are available for you to read and for others who might be helping you (such as your tutor and your parents) using your login to Greene’s Online. We try and get reports out within 48 hours of the tutorial taking place so that you have feedback as fast as possible. If you having trouble logging in to view your reports please contact us at webmaster@greenes.org.uk.

At Greene’s your course of individual tuition is flexible and puts you in charge of arranging and monitoring your studies. You are expected to and can:

create your own timetable working directly with your tutor

discuss organization and targets – create a personal study plan with your tutor

get well prepared for each tutorial to get the most out of your tutor

monitor your progress using feedback from the tutorial reports on Greene’s Online

regularly self-test your knowledge to make sure you are on track to hit your grade target

If you do not yet feel ready to self-manage your studies – which can often be the case if you are taking tuition in two or more subjects – then we can help you through enrollment in our Academic Support Programme; where a Personal Tutor will not only help you with arranging and managing your studies but also coach you in developing the skills that you need to do so yourself.

Joining our Academic Support Programme and having the help of a Personal Tutor can also help maintain focus, enthusiasm, and motivation; and helps to make sure that all examination entries are correctly made.

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.

The most rewarding thing for a tutor is to see that the student has thought about the material outside of class and formulated his or her own opinions. I have seen students come to class having interacted with the material and ready to tell me whether they agree or disagree with it. That is the most important skill that students can get from education.

Working with students one-to-one allows us to assess exactly what the student needs and to tailor instruction to the interests and capabilities of each student. Students become more empowered after having individual tuition, and by experiencing the passion of the tutor for his or her subject, the student is often inspired to expend more effort in order to better understand and appreciate that field of knowledge.

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.

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.
