Who we are

OxBridge Tutorial College has been carefully developed by our core team at s·a·e·s to provide the necessary resources and expertise for students facing the rigorous challenges of the International Baccalaureate programme and other international exams with high standards.

We also cater for students who are

preparing for other international quali-

fications including IELTS, SAT prepara-

tion, the Cambridge Cerificate, TOEFL,

IGCSEs, GCSEs and A-Level.

Founded in 1973, s·a·e·s has successful-

ly prepared students for the Abitur in

Germany for over 40 years. A leading

expert in this field of educational train-

ing, s·a·e·s has established an unrivalled

reputation for its emphasis on academ-

ic excellence, as well as for its in-depth

knowledge of the requirements of the

German system. Most importantly, s·a·e·s

is renowned for its investment in the

learning potential of each individual.

In 2002, s·a·e·s turned its attention to

the needs of pupils confronted with

the challenges of the IB programme.

This followed the growing recogni-

tion worldwide of the IB as a seal of

academic excellence, but was also a

direct response to increasing demand

from our existing clientele. Adapting

and enhancing more than 40 years

of experience, the core team set up

OxBridge Tutorial College, offering IB

programmes that are at the cutting

edge of educational praxis. These

programmes are designed to cater to

the individual, enabling each and every

student to develop as a human being,

while never losing sight of the need to

achieve academic excellence.

Our OxBridge Tutorial College has, as

its underlying principle, the belief that

learning should be a holistic process.

Our primary aim is to support and

empower students to become critical

thinkers and open-minded inquirers

who are capable of applying their

learning in a sustained and practical

way throughout their adult lives. We

have therefore developed a range of

masterclasses delivered by subject

experts to give our learners the op-

portunity to explore topics of interest

beyond the parameters of the school

syllabus. Students graduating from

an IB programme will have acquired

the necessary knowledge and skills to

make a difference in the world.

Learners are required to develop a

completely different skill set to most

traditional matriculation exams, and

this is where we can provide assistance

outside the confines of traditional edu-

cational systems.

From the outset, we have upheld this

principle by limiting our intake at Ox-

Bridge Tutorial College to no more than

15 students at any one time. All of our

courses are a combination of person-

alised one-to-one tutorials (14 out of

30 lessons a week) and small group les-

sons (16 out of 30 lessons). These les-

sons are based on the model of intense

participatory learning, which is unique

to the Universities of Oxford and Cam-

bridge. This means that each class has

a maximum of 3 students. Our small

group sizes enable us to really get to

know each participant individually, on

both an academic and a personal level.

As a result, progress can be monitored

and enhanced both inside and outside

the classroom.

The three IB programmes that we offer

are specifically designed to meet the

needs of participants at various stages

of their IB journey. Whether you are

about to embark on the programme

and want to be a step ahead of the

game, are in the middle of your pro-

gramme and require help with your

extended essay, or are at the critical

point before final exams, we can help.

Our aim is to not only consolidate but

also to extend the knowledge and skills

that individuals are required to develop

throughout the duration of the IB pro-

gramme. In addition to this we have

introduced a series of unique master-

classes to enrich the academic experi-

ence of our students and encourage a

lifelong enthusiasm for learning. While

never losing sight of the importance

of achieving the best possible grades,

our course developers have gone to

great lengths to tap into the academic,

cultural and intellectual environments

of Oxford and Cambridge.

Right: The academic environment of St. Hilda’s College provides an ideal setting.

We know what we are, but know not what we may be.William Shakespeare

What we do

The continuing success of s·a·e·s is founded on our belief that a truly effective learning experience can only occur if the process takes the needs of the individual into account.

Page 10  Page 11

Our belief that education means

far more than merely accumulating

know ledge is reflected in the goals

that we set our tutors and supervisory

staff prior to their interaction with our

participants. These include establishing

a relationship based on trust, in which

it is acceptable to make mistakes and

learn from them, as well as encour-

aging curiosity by asking students to

think beyond the textbook. Our pri-

mary aim is to foster a sense of joy in

the process of learning itself, and we

encourage students to continue to

educate themselves outside lessons by

embracing the wealth of cultural, social

and intellectual opportunities afforded

by the unique heritage of our locations.

The learning experience we offer at

OxBridge Tutorial College is intended

to send each student away feeling that

they have enhanced their knowledge

and skill set in their chosen subjects.

Moreover, we aim for our students to

complete their courses feeling that they

have fully engaged in a process, which

has broadened their horizons and will

enrich their future learning, maximise

their individual growth, and inspire

their future career prospects.

Our philosophy

The individual learning experience is at the very heart of everything we do. After successfully identifying the learner’s current level and determining where they ultimately need to get to, we develop a personalised roadmap to optimise each student’s journey through education and beyond.

We cater for the inevitable overlap

in our students’ educational needs

by grouping them according to their

academic ability. Moreover, our unique

success rate stems from the high pro-

portion of private lessons that we are

able to offer. This enables us to indi-

vidualise learning concepts and adapt

both the content and the approach

of our courses to the needs of each

participant.

Our IB learning approach

Our holistic, empowering and academic approach places individual tutorials and small group seminars at the centre of the learning experience.

We believe that in addition to the

greater focus on enhancing skills within

the classroom environment, master-

classes with experts are key to fostering

intellectual curiosity and originality of

thought – qualities that are highly desir-

able at prestigious institutions such as

Oxford and Cambridge. What makes our

approach most effective is the broader

emphasis on personal development and

individualised learning.

The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.Sydney J. Harris

Pre-IB

Mid-IB

IB programmesThe IB Diploma is no easy undertaking. Thanks to our teachers’ combined experience, students can face the challenges posed by this demanding programme with confidence and skill.

To satisfy the needs of our students

at various stages of the IB, we have

designed three separate study pro-

grammes. Each course focuses on de-

veloping the potential of each student

through the expertise of our core team:

1. Pre-IB

2. Mid-IB

Mid-IB Language

Mid-IB Science

3. IB Revision

All other international exams such as

IELTS, SAT preparation, Cambridge

Cerificate, TOEFL, IGCSEs, GCSEs,

and A-Level can be booked as private

courses.*

Pre-IB

The Pre-IB course provides students with extensive preparation for the demands of the IB.

Our programme has been carefully

designed to familiarise students with

the demands of the IB, giving them the

advantage of commencing their studies

ahead of the curriculum under the

guidance of experts.

The course provides students with a

detailed overview of the challenges

that lie ahead, with advice from subject

specialists on how to tackle each com-

ponent of the IB.

The programme consists of 16 group

lessons (maximum three students per

class) and 14 private lessons (one-to-

one) spread over four weekdays.

Group lessons are designed to help

students with the compulsory aspects

of the IB, and students will be asked

to consider and discuss the questions

raised by the Theory of Knowledge

module, and develop their own ideas

in preparation for the extended essay.

Morning lessons will focus on English,

with additional private lessons for cho-

sen subject areas and taster sessions

for those who are undecided on their

individual subject options.

Above left: One-to-One tutoring and individual feedback give students the possibility to work on their personal goals for the next school year.

Time management, strategic thinking and in-depth knowledge of the subject will ultimately be decisive in final exam results.

Teaching methods and content are based on the Oxford University concept.

IB Revision

The IB Revision course is designed to prepare students for their final examination.

The study programme comprises 16 group lessons with

maximum three students per class and 14 private (one-to-

one) lessons spread over four weekdays with Wednesdays

reserved for mock exams. The focus is on exam technique,

time management and continuous practice with support

available for all individual requirements.

Morning lessons will focus on consolidating existing knowl-

edge, structuring exam answers and improving on any

remaining areas of weakness. Students can concentrate even

more intensively on their chosen subjects in private lessons.

a) Mid-IB Language

The IB Language study programme is designed for students who are studying for the IB Diploma with English taught as the main language.

The study programme focuses on developing English lan-

guage skills, while at the same time devoting time to the stu-

dent’s additional subject choices. The programme consists

of 16 group lessons (maximum three students per class) and

14 private lessons (one-to-one) spread over four weekdays.

Wednesdays are reserved for mock exams.

The emphasis in the morning lessons is on developing

confidence in text analysis, essay and commentary writing

and practising exam techniques. The lessons highlight areas

where students need more support and help them to de-

velop new skills. In afternoon private lessons, students work

on specific subjects of their choice at higher or standard

level, as required. In these lessons the focus is on consolidat-

ing the student’s knowledge in the subjects and on moving

up to the next level of expertise in their chosen subject.

b) Mid-IB Science

The IB Science study programme is designed to support students who want to concentrate on the demands of the IB Diploma specifically in relation to the sciences and mathematics.

This programme is suitable for students who need to consoli-

date or improve their performance in these subjects.

This pro gramme also comprises 16 group lessons (maximum

three stu dents per class) and 14 private lessons (one-to-one)

spread over four weekdays with Wednesdays reserved for

mock exams.

In the group lessons we offer Biology, Chemistry, Physics

and Maths at both higher and standard level. Students can

choose the subjects they wish to work on in the private

lessons. These lessons can also be in non-science-related

subjects.

Mid-IB

Mid-IB is divided into two courses, one of which is language-based and the other science-based.

Page 18  Page 19

MasterclassesMasterclasses are designed and delivered by subject experts to give students the opportunity to explore topics of interest beyond what is usually covered in the school syllabus.

Our complementary academic programme of challenging and thought-provoking masterclasses, cultural events, and personal skills development days are an integral part of our course concept.

We consider masterclasses to be an essential part of our efforts to consolidate and enrich our students’ learning experience.

Accomodation and leisure Our students are given a taste of life as an undergraduate at Oxford and Cambridge that often inspires their ambition and academic excellence.

The programmes that we offer take

place in highly prestigious OxBridge

colleges. Our school is able to take

advantage of university facilities, with

students benefitting from a highly aca-

demic and intellectually stimulating en-

vironment. Moreover, basing our school

in two unspoilt university cities with

an immeasurable rich cultural heritage

enhancesour students’ development.

St. Hilda’s College, Oxford

Founded in 1893 in picturesque

grounds bordering onto the river

Cherwell, St. Hilda’s College is a place

where students can feel at home. Our

students reside in comfortable student

rooms in green and pleasant surround-

ings, close to the city centre and all it

has to offer. Students and staff live on

campus or in nearby accommodation

provided by carefully selected host

families. The college accommodation

package guarantees you an individual

study bedroom and includes breakfast

the grounds of Corpus Christi College,

a jewel in the crown of Cambridge

University and established in 1352. The

school is based in Newnham House

where our students are also accommo-

dated. Two meals a day are provided

in the famous Corpus Christi Great

Hall that boasts a Michelin starred

country’s most traditional and culturally

enriching cities.

Oxford and Cambridge have a lot to

certs. We will show you the best of the

university with city tours and regular

trips to London. You can participate in

sports such as tennis, football, volley-

ball, swimming and many others. We
