Student Testimonials

These are a few of the many comments we received during the 2011 Spring and Summer Courses

The very best teaching…

"The teachers were experts in their subject areas."

"I learned more in 2 days than I did in 2 years!"

"Overall a very helpfull and encouraging stay in an exciting environment. Thank you!"

"Extremely good biology teacher, the class was amazing. I actually think that biology is a fun subject now, before the course it was my worst subject."

"I got so much from the teachers. As IB examiners they know lots about the exam, strategies and how to answer IB questions."

“A great course! Taught me exactly what I needed."

"I never thought that the classes would be so helpful. We managed to get through all the topics for IB1 and 2 in 2.5 days. Well qualified teachers, truly excellent."

"OSC really helped me to get more confidence in the subjects and it made me believe in myself. I enjoyed being taught by enthusiastic and encouraging teachers."

“I had a very productive time, especially as I probably wouldn't have done good, quality revision in my subjects otherwise."

IB Mid Summer School

“The Spring Revision Course was extremely helpful with both my knowledge and confidence in my subject.”

"The best part was that we got to concentrate on the things we wanted.”

“The best thing has been the motivation this course has given me to keep working and give the IBDP all I’ve got.”

"Overall a very good experience educationally. It has been great meeting other IB students with the same concerns as me."

These are a few of the many comments we have received about our Revision Guides

IB Revision Class "The exercises and questions are so valuable; they really prepared me for my exams."

"There is so much packed into the guides, they really focused on the key areas I needed help with. I feel so much more confident about my IBDP exams."

"The IB Math OSC revision guides are amazing, they explain everything!"

"The OSC Math revision guide is a brilliant book in explaining concepts; trust me, it is the best money I ever spent!"

"Before, I couldn’t understand anything about Biology and now I feel that I can finally catch up when it comes to the basics."

"I relied mostly on the Study Guide for my revision and it's the reason I got a 6 in Geography. My folder was an absolute mess, we were all too busy to help each other. Without it I would not have had an organised, structured way of revising and would not have gone over many details of the syllabus."

"I am so excited to have just received my copy of the OSC revision guide for ESS. It is a fantastic resource."
