History
The history of Greene’s Tutorial College goes back to 1967 when Oxford graduate Edward Greene founded a small tutorial college known as Edward Greene’s Tutorial Establishment in the 17th century buildings of 45 Pembroke Street in Oxford. Since then, over 15,000 students have been taught at Greene’s at various stages of their education.
Traditionally an Oxbridge preparatory school which provided private tutoring for Oxford and Cambridge entrance, Greene's today prepares students for admission to universities worldwide. After the retirement of Edward Greene, the college was taken over by Christopher Upton and Matthew Uffindell, both Oxford-educated tutors.
The school has educated a number of high-profile students, which also includes the Math child prodigy March Tian Boedihardjo. March was taught by about seven tutors during his two years of study and passed his school-leaving exams at the age of nine years.
School buildings
Greene's Tutorial College has two buildings in Oxford, England:
The School Office and the Study Centre, although technically two separate buildings, are connected via a doorway and essentially form one building.
Curriculum
The school provides preparation for British and international pre-university school-leaving qualifications. Students at Greene's are taught in one-to-one tutorials, the same teaching approach used by the University of Oxford and by the University of Cambridge.
Tutors set homework after every tutorial, go through it at the next tutorial, and write reports about performance, effort in class, and homework after every class. The majority of the tutors are Oxford or Cambridge graduates and the college has 93 subjects on offer.
Academic achievement
According to the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) in England, "the college exceeds expectations". Academic results are above national average with examination grades being, for the most part, A* to B.
