WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY

Angela

OIC Graduate | CHUK

"Getting 4A*s is not an easy task. But I am very grateful to receive so much support and guidance from both teaching and non-teaching staff. Some of my teachers were really dedicated to helping me understand the subject deeply... I was also able to meet like-minded friends in OIC, so that we could work towards our goals together. The weekly SCITs in OIC also allowed me to track my progress and find out my weakness in topics, which is essential for me to score high marks in the public exam."

Julian

OIC Graduate | Oxford University

"I am really grateful for all the support I got from my teachers during my time here! In my A level studies, the rigorous weekly exams accompanied with targeted comments and advice helped me secure my understanding and skills; without this, I could not have gotten my 5A*s! And in preparing for Oxford admissions, the facilitating framework and ubiquitous support I received allowed me to embark on wider reading, debating opportunities, and admission test + interviews preparations - all of which crucial to developing my critical thinking and helping me achieve my dreams!"

Reanna

OIC Graduate | Imperial

"Thank you for all the help and support the college provided. Throughout my journey of success, OIC has been providing me with great academic support. I experienced an uneasy transition from GCSE to AS, but my teachers gave me helpful advice and monitored my improvement through SCITS. Many opportunities of visiting and exploring other universities were also by OIC, such as the BioGrad trip to Imperial, a day trip to Southampton university and university fair. I am grateful to have had all these experiences and guidance to help me decide my future destinations."

Jason

OIC Graduate | Imperial

"During my two years at OIC, I had an enriching experience that significantly shaped my academic journey. The Supercurricular team provided a solid foundation for my university application, encouraging me to delve deeper into mathematics beyond the standard curriculum. The UCAS mentors were instrumental in refining my personal statement, ensuring it truly reflected my passion and strengths. The comprehensive support and guidance I received at OIC were pivotal in helping me achieve my goal of studying mathematics at Imperial College."
