Oxford International Language School (Oxford ILS)

Fantastic experience: This is a truly great and special language school! I did a lot of research to find the best language school in Oxford and fortunately I found this place with friendly, highly competent and encouraging teachers as well as a positive and open-minded atmosphere. I was in Oxford during the first week of January and the course was held even though we were only two students in the B2-C1 class. I was also provided with a very nice homestay accomodation that fully met my expectations. Communication with the school before enrolling was friendly and the information provided was complete and answered all my questions (in contrast to other language schools that I had contacted). If you are looking for high-level English courses, individual attention and a supportive learning environment, ILS Oxford is absolutely worth the price!

Fantastic experience: This is the best English school I’ve ever attended. The groups are very small, which means you truly learn a lot because you’re participating all the time. Caroline is an amazing teacher: very professional, kind, and extremely experienced. The classes are super productive — not a minute is wasted, yet they never feel heavy or overwhelming. I liked it so much that I extended my course for two extra weeks. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I studied at Oxford International Language School for two weeks and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their English, whether for General or Academic purposes. Having attended other language schools, I can confidently say this is one of the best. The staff are professional, experienced, and truly supportive. They take students seriously and adapt to individual needs. The location is excellent central, well-connected, and close to the city centre. The prices are very reasonable considering the high quality of the teaching and programmes. Overall, an outstanding experience.

Fantastic experience: I spent 3 weeks studying at Oxford ILS. It was a wonderful experience. The Junior Summer School programme was very well organized. I improved my English and had so much fun. The activities were different each day. The lessons were not monotonous. Caroline taught me for all 3 weeks. She was very kind and patient. I think she’s an amazing teacher, and I’m glad she was the one teaching me. Oxford ILS also arranged the accommodation. I had a homestay, and my host family was amazing. I had the chance to meet people from different parts of the world and, of course, to practise my English. After the course, I feel more confident with my English, and I’ve gained experiences and memories that I will never forget. Thank you, Oxford ILS, for having me — I hope to see you again next year!

Fantastic experience: ماشاءالله تبارك الله .. ارسلت اثنين من عيالي وتعلمو واتقنو اللغه بشكل كبير جدا لمدة شهرين ونص والمعهد مافيه زحمه طلاب .. كل التحية والتقدير للسيد أبو ريكاردو واهتمامه بأدق التفاصيل وزوجته كذلك

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience and thank you so much to Ricardo for his great support and teaching sessions.

Fantastic experience: The several-week one-to-one course was very valuable for me. The teachers were very helpful, they went out of their way to meet my special requirements. I encountered honest, sensitive, very professional teaching. I have been returning to Oxford for several years, I have experience with several schools - I consider Oxford ILS to be one of the best language schools. I will be back soon... :) Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Excellent school, location and teachers. I have a great time; it was my best decision when I was looking a school.

Fantastic experience: My 15-day experience at this school was both educational and welcoming. All the staff tried to put me at ease. The teachers prepared and available for any doubt or information. Summing up, a positive experience for me. I recommend this school. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: I just studied there for 4 weeks to prepare for the CAE exam but I really enjoyed it and it helped me a lot to excel in the exam. The teachers are very kind and patient, they always help you if you have any questions and support you regarding your learning goals. I can definitely recommend this language school to anyone wanting to improve their English in Oxford!

Fantastic experience: Die 2 Wochen Sprachunterricht an dieser Schule waren eine tolle Erfahrung. Die Lehrer waren super: hilfsbereit, motivierend und inklusiv. Auch die Gastfamilie war toll. Man merkt die langjährige und gute Zusammenarbeit. Nebst dem Lernen hat Oxford viel zu bieten, die Zeit verging wie im Flug.

Fantastic experience: I'm glad to review Oxford ILS as it was amazing that I could improve my English so fast in the past two months. All teachers here are very kind and patient to teach me what I didn't understand. They are very professional to teach English. They teach us interesting and lifestyle things in daily life. About IELTS exam, they shared many useful skills that I could have confidence to take the exam and got a good score. Oxford ILS is highly recommend to you all.

Fantastic experience: It was a very nice time and I improved my English. Thank you for the great team and teacher.

Fantastic experience: I am really greateful with ILS. I needed a high score in the IELTS academic test. Thanks to ILS I managed to achieve and even surpass it. Excellent academy. I fully recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience, I’m very glad to have attended this course. I enjoyed everything about the time in Oxford, from the lovely homestay to the excellent teachers of the school. Everyone is very kind and ready to help you, I recommend this experience to anyone who wants to improve in English. They’re the best ❤️

Fantastic experience: To co najbardziej urzekło mnie w tej szkole to bardzo dobra atmosfera, która sprzyja nauce obcego języka i sprawia, że godziny spędzone na nauce się nie dłużą. Szkoła ta dba również, by nawiązały się dobre relacje pomiędzy uczestnikami kursu. Stąd też organizowane są wspólne aktywnosci gdzie można się lepiej poznać, a przy okazji ciągle praktykować mówienie. Nie mam doświadczenia nauki jezyka w innych szkołach ale jeśli ktoś się zastanawia co wybrać to Oxford IlS zdecydowanie będzie dobrym wyborem.

Fantastic experience: Ottima scuola, insegnanti madrelingua, ambiente famigliare e ottime attività pomeridiane, che aiutano a fare amicizia con persone che provengono da tutto il mondo.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I sponsored a young student to do a six-week course in English at OXILS. The six weeks turned into ten weeks, from May to August 2022. We were thoroughly impressed with the organisation's efficiency, personal involvement and support, the social ethos, and the financial administration. Everything happened as advertised and as promised to me in a preliminary interview before I decided to proceed with the arrangements. We were not ourselves in classes, of course, but our student was very positive about her learning experience as well as the social interactions she enjoyed with other students and the staff. I have no concerns at all about the experience, and recommend OXILS most highly.

Fantastic experience: Mir hat es an der Oxford ILS sehr gut gefallen. Ich kann die Schule auch für Erwachsene empfehlen. Da ich den Super intensiv Kurs gebucht hatte, war ich in verschiedenen Gruppen und bei verschiedenen Lehrern. Das war aber kein Nachteil, da man so unterschiedliche Schüler und Lehrmethoden kennenlernen konnte. Die Lehrkräfte sind sehr kompetent und geduldig. Vielen Dank.

Fantastic experience: Great school, lovely teachers. The staff was very friendly and helped to organise the process of learning from the very beginning till the very end. The time I spent in Oxford was just amazing. Thank you, guys!

Negative experience: Für Erwachsene ist definitiv nicht zu empfehlen. Kurs von geringer Qualität mit ständig wechselnden Lehrern, die nicht Muttersprachler sind. Kritik dazu ist nicht willkommen. Darauf wird sehr gekränkt reagiert. Und zwar Direktor wartet bis zum letzten Tag in der Schule, nach dem Fragebogen positiv ausgefüllt ist und konfrontiert zum Abschied einen Erwachsenen mit einer imaginäre Situation, bei der er nicht dabei war und eigentlich nichts bezeugen und nichts zu sagen haben kann. Schließlich sind deine Eindrücke und Ergebnisse vom Unterricht für die irrelevant. Ist völlig skurril, befremdlich und irre was das bezwecken sollte, außer dass ich einen sehr schlechten Eindruck mitnehme und auf keinen Fall die Schule weiter empfehle.

Fantastic experience: Oxford ILS is one of the best school of English language schools in the U.K. I believe that it is the place where you can learn general English in quickest and most effective way. In the U.K. Learning English is the most important part of life and without knowing accepted English, life can be very challenging. I have been studying English at Oxford ILS since October 2021.Since then my general English skills have been improved. I am very grateful that now I have the ability and confidence to gain a strong education, so that I have the chance to start a career that I love. Thank you Oxford ILS.

Fantastic experience: It’s a late late review for my amazing language learning experience at Oxford ILS. Last year, I spent whole summer in Oxford with these extraordinary teachers. They really helped me a lot. They knew what you need and gave you the materials that helped you efficiently improving your English. As an Asian learner, I learnt this language in a wrong way in the past. I’d been struggling to understand grammar until I met this school. You must use English to learn English language skills and do not translate to your mother tongue language. During my course I’ve learnt grammar, speaking, reading, writing, etc. The most important thing that I’ve acquired was increasing confidence while speaking English. Everyone in Oxford ILS was glad to help. Teachers and staff were very kind and polite. They provided an unused classroom for me to do my self-study on weekdays. You’ll have their passionate and useful assistance only if you ask. Honestly, Oxford ILS is a wonderful place for children and adults to learn English. Highly recommend to you all. So, come on students! Don’t hesitate to join Oxford ILS! Make this amazing school dynamic and lively.

Fantastic experience: 在这家学校上的线上的课程，很开心！老师充分地考虑了我的学习需求，是按照我的需求制定的上课内容。而且老师也很关心学生，上课氛围轻松，又很有效率，很感谢Ricardo老师，希望以后能有机会去牛津上线下的课程！ I am delighted to take an online course at this school. The teacher thoroughly considered my study needs, and the school cares about students. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the class is efficient. Thanks very much to Ricardo! I hope to have opportunities to take face-to-face courses in Oxford in the future!

Fantastic experience: A very good place to learn English, I recommend it to everyone who wants to improve their English. Great teachers, small groups, and a lot of knowledge.

Fantastic experience: Excellent

Fantastic experience: Very, very good!

Fantastic experience: Un buen lugar para mejorar el nivel de inglés en pocas semanas y prepárate para un examen, conociendo nuevas personas de diferentes países y culturas. Recomendable 100%

Fantastic experience: Consiglio vivamente questa scuola. Mi sono trasferita ad Oxford 3 mesi fa,la scuola come la homestay è diventata presto una seconda famiglia per me. Era la mia prima esperienza all’estero ed il mio inglese era poco più che elementare. Grazie agli insegnanti altamente qualificati,professionali,disponibili e coinvolgenti sono riuscita in poco tempo ad ottenere un livello di inglese upper-intermediate. Le lezioni sono dinamiche,interessanti e mai noiose. Durante la settimana gli studenti hanno la possibilità di partecipare a svariate attività grazie alle quali hai modo di socializzare e migliorare il tuo inglese divertendoti. Inoltre,le classi non sono mai numerose,cosa fondamentale se vuoi apprendere una nuova lingua velocemente. Ringrazio di cuore Ewa,Ricardo,Orla e Robert,Insegnanti che amano il proprio lavoro riuscendo quindi a trasmettere il loro entusiasmo e a motivare i loro studenti. Insegnanti e persone fantastiche. È una scuola moderna,al passo con i tempi,pronta ad accoglierti e ad aiutarti nel raggiungere i tuoi obbiettivi. A presto <3

Fantastic experience: In my opinion, this two months that I spent in this school was very enjoyable for me. I met a lot of teachers, who helped me when I needed, and there wasn't any lesson that I didn't like. We had many programme in the city, so this course wasn't just about the language learning. I have to mention that my classmates were very kind to me and they liked to deal with each other. In summarise, I can recommend this school to everyone who want to learn english in a very quickly way.

Fantastic experience: my experience in Oxford ILS was incredible. I had a great time in there and a would like to do it again. if you’re searching for a summer school i honestly recommend this one. it is a medium and humble school that make then perfect. about the evolution, you definitely will improve. for example myself: before going for one week there i couldn’t write a text fluently but now i can. i won self confidence to do everything. I want to thank everyone i meet there, specially Orla for been an amazing teacher and i will remember you for the rest of my life. thank you!

Fantastic experience: Jest to genialna szkoła prowadzona przez zaangażowanych nauczycieli i kompetentną kadrę kierowniczą, reagującą sprawnie w niezwykle życzliwy sposób gdy zachodzi taka potrzeba. Moja córka Justyna (17lat) uczestniczyła w zajęciach dla dorosłych, syn Stanisław (15 lat) w grupie młodzieżowej. Oboje są zachwyceni innowacyjnością i ciekawym sposobem prowadzenia zajęć. Wprost zakochali się w Pani Orla (Orlej), irlandzkiej lektorce, o niezwykłej osobowości, której zajęcia skrzą się pomysłami i są niezwykle urozmaicone i wciągające, dostosowane do potrzeb i oczekiwań uczestników. Żadnych schematów!. Dzieci z grupy młodzieżowej są pod niezwykle troskliwą opieką. Otrzymują nawet darmowy bilet na przejazdy w Oxfordzie. Dyrekcja odbiera je z lotniska na życzenie rodzica. Mieszkają w starannie dobranych rodzinach angielskich, gdzie mogą się czuć jak u siebie w domu i siłą rzeczy używają angielskiego. W soboty mają organizowane wycieczki do atrakcyjnych miejsc wokół Oxfordu. Po południu zwiedzają miejscowe atrakcje, chłoną uniwersytecką atmosferę tego niezwykłego miasta. Lekcje dla nich są niezwykle dynamiczne, dotyczą praktycznych zagadnień, świetnie przygotowują do codziennego operowania językiem angielskim. Mój syn skończył szkołę amerykańską, a twierdzi, że w Oxford ILS nauczył się czegoś nowego. Był zachwycony wymową i akcentem lektorów. "Nareszcie prawdziwy angielski" to jego pierwsze słowa gdy wylądował w Rębiechowie. Zajęcia dla dorosłych też są super. Mnóstwo dyskusji i rozmów oprócz typowego nauczania. Każdy uczestnik kursu otrzymuje niezwykle wnikliwą opinie jak kontynuować przygodę z językiem angielskim. A do tego innowacyjne zajęcia popołudniowe, zwiedzanie miasta z "lokalsami", gry na orientacje, słynne wiosłowanie (punting - specyficzna atrakcja Oxfordu). A przy tym wszystkim niewygórowane jak na Anglię ceny i to za produkt ponadprzeciętnej jakości. Bardzo polecam szkołę Państwa Ewy i Ricardo.

Fantastic experience: My English has improved very much

Fantastic experience: If you would like to improve your English with profesional and lovely teachers in a great environment I really recomend Oxford ILS. I have been studying here for 9 months and I am so happy. I have seen my progress in a short time and now I feel more confident with my English. It has been really useful to my profesional life. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Super ! Polecam

Fantastic experience: I took a five-week IELTS preparation course and had a fantastic experience! In the morning I had an English general class to fill up the gaps of my English skills that is needed in order to achieve the scores I wanted. And in the afternoon, I focused more on test strategies. I really like the way they teach. They kept giving me motivation to learn. Instead of completely focusing on “IELTS techniques” like those language schools in Taiwan, where I am from, I was truly learning English in OXF ILS. Not only did I have the information and skills that are needed for IELTS, I also can feel a HUGE improvement on my English skills. Eventually, I got the scores I need in IELTS, and even higher than I expected! However, the most important thing is how friendly and experienced the teachers and staff are. When I finished the course, it was extremely difficult to say goodbye to them, because they feel like friends to me. Many times my classmates and I even had lunch with our teacher! And if you have any questions, don’t hesitate, just ask them and they will give you information you need or help you as soon as they can. Besides, there were only a few students in the class, so I had way more chance to speak, make mistakes (a really great way to improve English), and interact with others. Also, the school is located near the city centre, with only 10-15 minutes on foot. And within 5 minutes' walk there are two main supermarkets and many restaurants for you to have lunch. Furthermore, my homestay family is extraordinarily good as well! The food is delicious, their place is sparkling clean and they are extremely nice and helpful. Undoubtedly, this is a language school that I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Bardzo miła atmosfera. Zajęcia prowadzone są w małych grupach. Nauczyciele są prawdziwymi profesjonalistami. Syn znacznie pogłębił znajomość języka angielskiego. Nawiązał wiele nowych, międzynarodowych znajomości. W przyszłym roku wyślę go ponownie.

Fantastic experience: Situated in one of the coolest road in Oxford, the school, pretty closed to the city centre, is very easy to reach. The courses are organized in small groups, in order to give you all the explanations you need. I found teachers both prepared and nice . The atmosphere is so friendly that you’ll find here the best conditions to improve your English. A serious, but also amusing way of learning: highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I was four weeks in ILS Oxford. I had 30 hours English per Week. In the morning we had a fix program where we improved our general speaking, grammar, vocabulary, etc. In the afternoon or evening we focused on our personally biggest difficulties. I enjoyed both and I think I have improved my language skills. The Teachers are very kindly, and I had the feeling that they are really interested to help you. Because the school is small, the classes are very small too, compared with most of other language schools. Because I was in Oxford in the Off-Season we were only two students in the morning lessons. Everybody can imagine, how intensive the English course was. English was never my favorite subject in the school, but I saw in ILS, that learning English can be very interesting, and I can even enjoy it. Off course I couldn’t learned everything but now I am motivated to continue learning English back home.

Fantastic experience: Oxford ILS is a very good school. The Teachers are very professional, polite and patient. I have studied English here for 10 months and my English has improved a lot. I really enjoy the experience and will come back again.

Fantastic experience: I had a private tuition here. Orla is a nice, patient, and informative teacher. So is Ricardo. Csilla and Eva are so kind that I got all the support and help I need to stay in Oxford.

Fantastic experience: My first experience in the school was for one month in February. I studied in the intermediate class, at the end of the course I reached the next level. I decided to come back for another month in March, to study the next level. After a lot of lessons, I can say that the teachers are friendly and well-prepared. I really enjoyed going for lunch with everyone from the school, as a result this creates a family environment. Finally, it is in a good location with modern facilities that allow a variety of teaching methods like using video documentaries and interactive activities. It was an excellent experience, I recommend this school! Alessandro

Fantastic experience: Oxford International Language School offers a wide range of courses from beginners to advaced ones. I really appreciate central location of the school, competent teachers (Orla, Ricardo) and friendly atmosphere. First, I was quite surprised how small the school is, however now I think this is the biggest advantage of the school - I do attend one-to-one classes which help me to improve quickly specific areas which I am struggling with (grammar, pronanciation, spelling....). Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Polecam Nauczyciele znakomici i fajna atmosfera na zajęciach, z których idzie bardzo dużo wyciągnąć.

Fantastic experience: Las clases son muy productivas ya que el número del alumnado es limitado y la atención del profesorado es excelente. Están muy encima tuya y te hacen un seguimiento para ver la evolución. Strongly recommended

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience! All teachers are competent, kind and really patient. Number 1 in Oxfordshire!

Fantastic experience: You would never regret attending lessons in this school. High recommended. Lessons are interesting and funny as well, groups small. Staff is very helpful, profesional and nice.

Fantastic experience: We have been hosting students from this school for years and we’ve been very happy with the process. The management is very reliable and the students we’ve had from Oxford ILS have been great. The students have also commented how happy they are being at this school. Happy to continue working with Oxford International Language School!

Fantastic experience: I spent two really wonderful weeks in Oxford International Language School. There were fascinating classes with Hugh, Ricardo and Orla. All people were cheerful and helpful. The school is located not far from the city centre, and there is a lot of restaurants and cafes around it. Also, my host family was perfect as well. Please don't hesitate to contact me directly if you have any student-to-student questions.

Fantastic experience: Diese Sprachschule ist sehr empfehlen, weil hier professionell gearbeitet wird !! Bereits bei der Planung für einen dreimonatigen Sprachaufenthalt unseres Sohnes bekamen wir verlässliche Informationen und hatten einen festen Ansprechpartner. Für die Besprechung unserer Anliegen wurde sehr viel Zeit investiert und dabei zielgerichtet analysiert und optimale Lösungen gefunden. Das sprachliche Ausgangsniveau unseres Sohnes wurde in einem Vorabtest verlässlich geprüft. Auf dieser Grundlage entstand ein individuelles Programm für seine Bedürfnisse. Fragen unsererseits wurden im gesamten Vorfeld der Planung stets zeitnah und konstruktiv bearbeitet. Ebenfalls war stets Flexibilität hinsichtlich individueller Wünsche und Bedürfnisse vorhanden. Besser und motivierender kann man im Vorfeld nicht arbeiten. Bis hierher ein ganz großes Kompliment und Dankeschön !!! Rückblickend war der Aufenthalt ein riesengroßer Erfolg. Unser Sohn hat in dieser Zeit wahrscheinlich mehr und nachhaltiger gelernt, als in einem ganzen Jahr Schulenglisch. Er wurde hervorragend auf das Abitur vorbereitet. Nach der Hälfte seines Aufenthaltes habe ich unseren Sohn besucht und konnte mich selbst überzeugen: tolle Lehrer, tolle Schule, tolle Gastfamilie super Atmosphäre !!! Allen Eltern, die bei ihren Kindern Wert auf fundierte Englischkenntnisse in Wort und Schrift legen, sei diese Sprachschule wärmstens ans Herz gelegt. Ein echter Geheimtipp!!! Ich gehe davon aus, dass auch die Kurse für Erwachsene hervorragend sind.

Fantastic experience: I took 1-2-1 classes with Orla and she has helped me to improved my level and achieved my objectives. Learning here is a very friendly and positive process. The staff is very professional and understand what you need. I recommend this school !

Fantastic experience: I would like to highly recommend this incredible English school. The teachers and staff are well-prepared, very professional and they understand quickly what a student need to improve his language. In addition, the school has a personalized and specific style, which makes it nicer and effective. I prepared the IELTS exam with Hugh and Orla, and I feel confident and solid about my acquired knowledge, especially because I learned an extensive vocabulary for writing and speaking and I practiced my pronunciation and reading skills. THANKS.

Fantastic experience: I lived 6 months in Oxford working as Doctor at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre and I attended a General Advanced English course in this school. My English level improved a lot thanks to lessons made by Ricardo, the Director. I liked so much the school that during the summer my sister came to Oxford to attend a junior summer course too. I think it is an high level school and i suggest this solution if you are in Oxford and you want improve your English in a family environment.

Fantastic experience: Very high level of teaching, nice atmosphere. The school is facused on speaking, but you can also improve your grammar and vocabulary here. Small groups makes everyone is treatened individual. If wanted, school also organises free time for students, like: trips, pubs meetings, watching films.

Fantastic experience: Naprawdę polecam tę szkołę, profesjonalni, doświadczeni nauczyciele oraz rodzinna atmosfera. Po 2 tygodniowym kursie zauważyłem znaczną poprawę w umiejętności posługiwania się językiem angielskim

Fantastic experience: Really nice school, professional teachers and a great atmosphere. Helped me a lot to improve my English.

Fantastic experience: We contacted many if not to say all language schools in Oxford and have used our local friends to find out about all options. All of the others had some obstacles whether there were too many students of one nationality, to many students in one course, charging hours even for bank holidays (all of the others), having hidden fees and costs, not supplying the appropriate course, having low qualtiy premises, being on a less attractive location or even remote, beeing more fun and party oriented and sometimes even counting the paid hours as such, or last but not least charging extraordinary high fees and some even forcing you to use payment systems with higly disadvantage (+4,5%) currency converters and even pretending that this is the best method of payment. Finally we took the decision for our 16 year old boy from Germany in an outstanding favour for Oxford ILS. We did not regret so: Ricardo the general manager was really flexible with all his decisions in order to comply to our needs. This is the place to go if you want no troubles and real value for the time and money put into this: straight forward fee policy, low student number per course and courses took even place with only one student if there is no demand. Our son went during Easter for two weeks and we had booked an intensive course from 9am to 4:30pm. He reported to have been with only one other student first and later with two. Often the lessons were extended as needed to finish a subject and not to finish on time. Training was on a high level split among two teachers, one in the morning the other in the afternoon. Morning courses where challenging right appropriate to the students while the afternoon course focussed on talking and further practising. There was always homework to be done for the next day or even over the weekend. In the clean and nice school building there are lounges, a well equipped kitchen and a clean and well furnished garden available to be used during the break. The school has a strict environmental friendly policy which is in favour of the students who like not beeing exposed to chemicals in constructions materials as usually in Britain. Bikes can be stored easily and safely in the back yard without becoming wet or even stoolen. The building is historic but also architecturally sound and well maintained. It is right situated at one of the most attractive local streets in Britain (according to some recent findings, see google: Cowley Road) with lots of small scale shops, cafés and the like. Easy to reach with public transport, by bike or on foot. We can highly recommend this Language School especially to Germans who do not like to be together with those German party-students so predominant in language schools normally and who prefer instead to lay focus on effective language teaching in Oxford. We sincerely hope the school will remain its atmosphere and character throughout the surly bright future it is looking to. We will book again the next course for some of the next summer weeks for sure.
