Frequently Asked Questions

Thank you for taking the time to look into Oxford College of Education. Choosing the right learning journey for your child is one of the most important decisions a parent can make, and the fact that you’re here, reading this, already says a lot about how much you care about their future.

We believe every child has hidden potential — and with the right support, structure and encouragement, that potential doesn’t stay hidden for long. Our goal is simple: to help your child stay ahead, build real confidence, and never feel left behind. Below are the questions parents ask us most often, answered honestly and in full.

Oxford College of Education — Our Impact

Nearly 8,000 learners have benefited from our courses, exams and support services.

150 to 200 candidates visit our campus every month for exams and assessments.

300 to 400 students sit top university admissions tests at our centre each year — including candidates for Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, Imperial College London and other leading universities.

These numbers represent thousands of families who trusted us with something precious — their child’s education — and we don’t take that trust lightly.

About the Platform & Your Child’s Learning Journey

It’s a 100% online, self-paced learning platform — not live classes. Your child can access study materials, quizzes and assessments whenever suits them, learning in the way that works best for them. Younger children may need a little parent or adult support to get started.

There’s no fixed timetable and no waiting for a class to catch up. Your child can race ahead in subjects they love, or take their time on topics they find harder, with zero pressure. It’s learning shaped around your child — not the other way around.

From Reception to Year 9, we cover Mathematics, English, Science (Biology, Chemistry & Physics), Geography, History, Computer Science, Spanish, French, AI Skills, Digital Literacy, Money Management, and General Knowledge — a genuinely well-rounded education.

Content is fully aligned with the UK National Curriculum, enriched with additional topics from Edexcel and Cambridge — so wherever your family is based, your child is never missing out.

Yes. Our Reception programme (ages 4–5) covers Mathematics and English with age-appropriate materials, giving your child the best possible start. Younger children will need some parent or adult support alongside them.

Each topic brings learning to life with study materials, images, videos, useful external links (such as BBC Bitesize), quizzes and self-assessments. Your child works through each module at their own pace, and only moves on once they’re genuinely confident — not just because the clock says it’s time.

No — everything your child needs is included within the platform, ready to go from day one.

Yes, and this is one of the most popular ways families use us. Whether you’re supplementing school, homeschooling full-time, or helping your child catch up, our platform fits around your family’s life, not the other way around.

Yes. With rich visuals, video support and self-paced modules, our platform is well suited to EAL learners who benefit from being able to revisit and repeat material at their own speed and comfort level.

We hear this concern a lot, and it’s a fair one — but in practice, most children thrive with the freedom to focus without social pressure or distraction. Interactive quizzes, videos and instant feedback keep learning engaging, and you’re always right there tracking progress and cheering them on.

Trying Us Out & Getting Started

Yes — 14 days completely free. No credit card needed to start, and no obligation to buy. You’ll only be asked to pay after the 14 days, and only if you’re happy to continue. We want you to fall in love with what we offer, not feel locked into anything.

Yes. Our courses are open to UK students and international students alike. We follow the UK National Curriculum, and we’ve added extra topics from Edexcel and Cambridge on top, so your child doesn’t miss anything, wherever in the world you’re based.

After payment, we register your child and send you their login details. From there, you can watch their journey unfold through the parent dashboard, every step of the way.

As soon as your account is set up, your child can log in and begin — often the same day. There’s no waiting for a term to start, no enrolment window to miss. The moment you’re ready, so are we.

Yes. We’re an accredited provider that has supported nearly 8,000 learners since we began, and every month our campus welcomes 150 to 200 candidates sitting exams and assessments in person — including students preparing for admissions tests at Oxford, Cambridge, LSE and Imperial College London. This isn’t a start-up experiment; it’s a trusted institution with a genuine track record.

What Your Child Will Learn

More than you’d expect. Alongside Maths, English and Science, your child also gets AI Skills, General Knowledge, Money Management, and Digital Literacy — so they pick up extra, real-world skills most schools don’t have time to cover. We want your child prepared not just for exams, but for life.

They simply move on. Because everything is self-paced, a child who’s ready to progress isn’t held back waiting for the rest of a class — they carry straight on to the next stage, building momentum instead of losing it.

Not at all — you choose the plan that fits your child, from 2 subjects up to all 14. Many parents start smaller and add more subjects as their child’s confidence grows.

Our curriculum builds the strong core skills in English, Maths and reasoning that underpin most entrance assessments, giving your child a solid foundation. Please get in touch with our team if you’d like guidance on tailoring study toward a specific entrance exam.

Free resources are great for one-off topics, but they aren’t built to track your child’s whole learning journey. With us, your child gets a structured curriculum, progress tracking, mock tests, a Course Completion Certificate, and real support — all in one place, with a dashboard that shows you, in real time, exactly how they’re doing.

Pricing, Payment & Peace of Mind

● Monthly: from £11.50 for 2 subjects (English & Maths), £22.50 for 5 subjects, or £32.50 for all 14 subjects
● Annual (30% saving): from £99 for 2 subjects up to £299 for all subjects
However you look at it, this is a small investment for the head start it gives your child — often less than the cost of a single tutoring session per month.

You have a 14-day cancellation window from the date of payment. Once the course has been started, eligibility for a full refund ends. For monthly subscriptions, cancelling takes effect from the following month, and no refund is issued for the current month already paid.

Monthly subscriptions are collected by Direct Debit. Annual packages can be paid by credit or debit card — whichever is easiest for your family.

There’s no long-term lock-in. You can cancel whenever you like, and cancellation takes effect from the following month — you won’t be charged for any months after your cancellation has been processed.

All payments are collected in advance. When you cancel, this takes effect from the following billing month, you won’t be charged again after that, and any applicable refund is processed from that point — no refund is given for the current month already paid. The same terms apply to both monthly and yearly subscriptions.

Very little. You get 14 days completely free, with no credit card and no obligation, to see for yourself whether it’s right for your child. The real risk, we’d gently say, is waiting — while every month your child could be building skills and confidence, they’re not.

Nearly 8,000 learners have benefited from our courses, exams, and support services.
Every month, 150 to 200 candidates visit our campus for various exams and assessments.Every year, 300 to 400 students take their top university admissions tests at our centre – including

Screen Time & Wellbeing

The platform automatically logs off after 2 hours per session, to encourage balanced screen use and protect your child from burnout — because their wellbeing matters just as much to us as their grades.

The 2-hour limit is per login session, not per day — your child can log in multiple times if needed. Short, focused sessions tend to work best for concentration, particularly for younger children or those with ADHD.

Our Digital Health Guide encourages learners to follow the 20-20-20 rule — every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds — alongside good posture, movement breaks, and a healthy balance between screen time and real-life activity.

Progress, Support & Feedback

You get a dedicated parent dashboard with live progress tracking, updated every 60 seconds — showing logins, progress, completion rates and performance instantly, so you’re never left wondering.

Yes — a complete student report across all subjects can be printed in under a minute, to share with teachers, therapists, or simply keep for your own records and peace of mind.

Feedback comes from several places: self-review prompts for the student, a parent feedback portal, and teacher remarks on assignments and engagement — so your child always knows how they’re doing, and so do you.

Yes — support for technical and course-related queries is available by email or live chat on our website, 24/7.

Each subject includes mock tests and end-of-year assessments. Quizzes are graded automatically with immediate feedback, and students get up to 3 retakes at no extra cost — because we believe in progress, not punishment.

Yes — each child gets an individual login, so their progress, assessments and dashboard are tracked separately, giving every child in your family their own personal journey.

Yes — you’re welcome to share access with anyone in your family who’s part of supporting your child’s learning journey.

Supporting Every Learner

Yes. The self-learning format is designed with children who learn differently in mind — self-paced study, reduced distractions, voice recording as an alternative to typing, and automatic session breaks. Every child deserves a learning environment built around them, not against them.

The platform is built to be calm, flexible and supportive — with no pressure to keep pace, and the freedom to pause, repeat sections, or take a break whenever needed. Interactive materials, quizzes and voice recording tools all help make learning more accessible.

Yes — students can speak, record and upload their responses using a mobile device, which can be especially helpful for children who find typing difficult or discouraging.

Absolutely. Because learning is entirely self-paced, faster learners can move ahead without waiting for anyone else. If your child is smarter than they think, this is exactly the environment to prove it.

Certificates & Looking Ahead

Yes — a Course Completion Certificate is issued once your child completes all required study modules, exams, quizzes and feedback. The system tracks progress automatically and confirms 100% completion, giving your child something real to be proud of.

Certificates are issued by Oxford College of Education.

Yes — each subject includes mock tests, end-of-year assessments and past exam papers, helping build the habits, confidence and exam technique your child will lean on for GCSEs and beyond.

Never. There’s no clock ticking, no classroom of peers watching, and no judgement — just space to pause, repeat, and try again until it clicks. Struggling with a topic is a normal part of learning, not a failure, and our whole platform is built around that belief.

Practical Details

The platform works on all major browsers and devices — PC, mobile or tablet. Your child can learn on any device with an internet connection, wherever you are.

Your child’s account and progress data are only visible through the secure parent dashboard login. Please refer to our full Privacy Policy for details on how data is collected, stored and used.

Yes — our live chat and email support are available year-round, including school holidays, so you’re never without help when you need it.
