A long term vision for individuals who want to engage and be engaged in the world as it evolves.
I founded Oxford Intensive School of English on a strong conviction that total mastery of a second language requires learning determination guided by tutors who are pedagogically demanding of each and every course participant while providing individual support to use the language with confidence and serenity and aim for eloquence in speech and elegance in the written form. Being ambitious for the achievements of each individual student soon became an essential core value of OISE Oxford and I feel very proud that it is still kept very strong today.
Values
Allow learners to assert themselves and achieve beyond their expectations.
High achievers
Our Masterclasses are aimed at people with high ambitions and clearly defined goals. Whether they are young learners or professionals, their common points are the desire to improve their skills, the search for excellence, as well as their ability to implement all means necessary to achieve it.
Highly targeted
While speaking comprehensible and grammatically correct English is within everyone's reach, to be eloquent, to speak English, to share, to convince and to concretely achieve one's operational objectives is more rare, and therefore likely to make a difference.
High performance
Whatever the goal, the deadline or the challenge set, the important thing remains and will always be the result. This requires intensive work, both accompanied and individual. Far from "linguistic tourism" OISE courses offer learners the means to achieve their objectives.
Highly satisfactory
The intensity of learning, the privileged study environment, and the relationships created during the workshops and sessions are cherished memories and contacts for the future..
