"The trip to Oxford was not only a way to improve English, but also to see the large world outside our home country for the first time."

In comparison with the way English is taught in the Czech Republic, the classes were way more focused on speaking and discussing, also we were able to be in a C1-level class which is an improvement because we could only study B1 in our country. We've had 2 teachers during our stay, both were very kind, approached us at an individual level and taught us many things. There was a bit of a disorganization issue involving buying and renting books.
The people around us were very open and friendly, so it wasn't difficult to approach other students. However, this isn't entirely true. The first week of our stay there was a group of maybe 20 Tchaiwanese students who wouldn't speak a word of English outside class, so we mostly avoided the common room that week as we didn't feel comfortable trying to engage in a conversation with them.
The thing we've enjoyed the most was definitely the school activities. During our stay, the activity leader of the school was mostly a young man who studied at the school earlier and then stayed longer to help the school. We've visited many great places in Wheatley and Oxford, we've seen the Pitt Rivers Museum and enjoyed punting, we've visited many historical places and strolled through the botanic gardens. At the weekend, we went to London for an entire day, it was amazing.
We were accomodated in a lovely house with a kind lady who made us delicious food and we had many great conversations together.
To conclude, we have had difficulty with money because the prices are three times as big in the UK as they are in our country, which is why we stayed for 2 weeks only, but we do not regret a single day. Some of the other students were surprised that we were there only for such a short time, but the fact is, the entire trip cost roughly 3 Czech monthly salaries. The classes were great, and the activities were even better. We have made quite a few friends from around the globe. It opened our eyes and we've gone out into the world for the first time. The stay was so good that we don't regret spending a single pound, that should tell you everything.

I spent three weeks in Wheatley: I had an amazing time!
The teachers were all really competent, and the classes were generally balanced according to both multiculturalism and English level. Talking about the structure, the school has plenty of useful facilities which encourage students to get to know each other and spend their time together.
All in all, CES Oxford gives an excellent academic preparation and manages to create a strong sense of community among its students: thus, I would recommend everyone to attend a course there!
"The school is very good. I appreciated going to Oxford School."

I am very satisfied with this school. The teachers, equipment, and housing are excellent. The director, Peter, was very accommodating during the whole summer and he related to me.

"The experience was good. Now, my listening and speaking is better."

My experience was fantastic, I'll repeat it (in two - three years). The family was very nice to both my son and I, we were well integrated and we shared many moments together.
In respect to the center, I think that the teachers are lovely, good teachers. I improved my listening and speaking. I'd like to improve grammar as I only took four lessons. Maybe I'd like more. I'd like to start a book and finish it and take a test and change to the next level. Perhaps the problem was a lot of students in the center.
But, it is a fantastic center with students of different nationalities, with an English family in the country. It requires you to speak and listen in English. I made new friends (teachers, students and host family).
Accommodation is carefully arranged by the school with local people, often within walking distance of the school.
Unless otherwise requested, accommodation is in single rooms which are always inspected to make sure they are suitable. The majority of our host families take only one student, but if there are two students with one family, they will be of different nationalities (except in the case of married couples or partners, and for some participants in closed group courses)
A few homestay providers are able to offer private bathroom facilities (at extra cost). However, this type of accommodation is in short supply and cannot be guaranteed at all times.
Breakfast and evening meals are provided during the week. Students can buy their weekday lunches at the local cafes and shops, or cook something for themselves in the student kitchen.
Ruskin College residential accommodation is set in beautiful landscaped grounds, with plenty of space for students to stretch out and relax. Rooms are of a good standard and breakfast, lunch and dinner are all provided.

"I have a prospective student from Saudi Arabia who would like to study at Center of English Studies: Oxford. The student already has a General Visitor Visa, and NOT a Student Visitor Visa. Does he need to apply for the Student Visitor Visa? Or will you allow him to enroll and study with his General Visitor Visa? Most of our other schools in the UK allow students to study if they already have a General Visitor Visa, but I just want to make sure that you can accept this student without asking him to apply for a Student Visitor Visa. Can you confirm?"
The student will need to apply for a Student Visitor Visa. We cannot accept students on a GVV. All students from visa national countries MUST have the appropriate Student Visitor Visa, or Extended Student Visitor Visa for their course.

"I want to ask you if there is any chance my student can stay in a class where the average age is 25/30 years old cause she is 27 and she doesn't want to stay with too young students. Is that possible?"
We cannot guarantee the ages of classes as it depends on the students enrolled at the time, and of course on her level on arrival. There won’t be any students under the age of 16, and most students across the summer are between 18 and 25.

"I have a prospective student from Spain who would like to study at Center of English Studies: Oxford. The student is travelling with her son, and they would like a home stay for both of them, I saw the option of 2 person shared room and I suppose that even if the student is not taking a course in the school he can stay there paying the housing fee, correct? Her son is making summer camp at this address: Headington Rd, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX3 7TD Would it be possible to find a home stay near this location so she can quickly drop her son on the camp before going to classes (both the camp and classes start at the same time)."
I am investigating the home stay option without accommodation offer . However, please advise the student that Headington is approximately 20 minutes from the school, so if she needs to drop her son off at his camp at 9.30 am, she will struggle to make it to class before 10.00.
