Oxford House College - London

Luana R.

I need to say how disappointing my experience with OHC London has been and how I would not recommend/return to this school.

From a month of contracted course, so far I have only had one week of efficient classes (which took place with Bobby, an excellent teacher).
In the second week, there were, without any explanation, 2 changes of teachers and it got worse from there.
When i was going to reception and trying to resolve this, with a change of class or change of current teacher, they said that it was not possible and that the change of level depends on the teacher's recommendation...But on the first day (on the welcome day) it is said that if we are comfortable and want to go to another level... It is possible to change without problems. Which is completely opposite to what we are experiencing.

An absurd difficulty and lack of clarity in positioning ourselves on the issue of change and the stance of the unity was as if we were begging and they are doing a favor.

Besides, this whole story about them taking a placement test on the first day is a lie. I just received a link to answer some multiple choice questions, without any supervision and that I could have easily searched on the internet, and when I arrived I was directed to a class based on that result.

I don't even want to dwell on how stressful these days are and how this is affecting my health because it would be of no use to me right now, i only want a refund for the weeks and be free to go home.
But my money is already with them and, based on their positioning, that’s all that matters.

I really want what I say to be taken into consideration and not generate a bunch of standard excuses.

That said, if you can avoid this school... RUN AWAY!

Teachers' qualities are not good enough, and the academy system is poor. Teachers change too often. In addition, some teachers are a little bit racist.

It was a really great experience. I highly recommand it to everyone! The courses suit every level, it allows to progress quickly. It is also a nice and ideal way to make new friends. I would like to thank Genie, best teacher ever!

I highly recommend this language school for teacher training. I took the effective classroom practice course and it was great. I especially enjoyed Ben's lessons which were very useful for me to grow as a teacher. I'll probably come back to take the Celta Course. Thank you so much!

I'm very glad that I did my CELTA here. The teacher trainers are amazing. They really know how to help you develop your strengths and work on your weaknesses. Thanks to their constructive feedback, I've become a better teacher.

When I decided to spend a month in London and look for some good academy to improve my English skills, I couldn't imagine just how much those weeks would help me in the future.
I was an Oxford House College student for three weeks in 2010, and, as well as learning a lot, I had so much fun. At first, I must say I was taken aback by the methods the teachers at Oxford House College used. It was nothing like the ones teachers use in my country, where you don't even dare raise your voice because they will mock you if you make a mistake. It was refreshing, and mistakes were taken as inflection points from where students could build up their knowledge of the English language. Through games in which we were 'forced' to interact with all our classmates (it was completely impossible to be left behind), everyday was full of new contributions to our skills. I can't deny there's also one deciding factor that helped a lot: when you study English outside England, teachers translate words and whole sentences into their own language when students don't understand them - but this is not possible when the teacher is British and your classmates come from different parts of the world.
During my weeks at Oxford House College, I had three different teachers and they were all incredibly funny, direct and smart. But I will never forget Manchester native Tim, who was probably the best teacher I have ever had in my entire life. The most amazing part of his teaching - he always expected something from you, and used to look you in the eye when you raised your voice, and always take something useful from your words.
Two years later, I have just passed my Cambridge Advanced Exam at an A grade. I can't help thinking my month at Oxford House College was somehow determinant in my improving and reaching this goal.
