It begins with an idea.

While studying for a DPhil in Education, we realised the tremendous potential of the 1-on-1 Oxford tutorial method. It allowed us to deepen our research knowledge and expertise through personalised teaching-learning with expert mentors. As educators, we felt that we must share our advantages with students in high schools and universities around the world. Thus, we established The Oxford Practice to share the transformative power of research and the Oxford tutorial method with students in high schools and universities around the world.

We have over twenty-five years of professional experience working in diverse educational settings both in-person and online. This includes schools, universities, and civil society organisations. The Oxford Practice is rooted in our shared understanding of the transformative potential of learning and research.
