Realising her academic potential
We sat down with Pradnya, a 2023 retake student, to learn more about her journey with Greene’s. After retaking with us, Pradnya went on to study Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at King’s College London. Please find her testimonial below.
Personal support and individual tutorials
“I came to Greene’s because I did not want to let go of my academic ambitions. Whilst my grades were satisfactory, I knew I wanted to do justice to my passion for what I was studying and hence I chose Greene’s College Oxford, as I knew they could support me in achieving my academic goals. The one-to-one tutorial style, despite it being a new experience for me, was a great match due to its personalised approach, especially regarding the feedback I would receive on assignments, trial exams and tutorials. It helped me take the initiative to consistently do better, as I had the awareness of exactly what areas needed improvement and thus could ask my tutors for extra materials on specific topics to improve understanding, or for more practice papers to improve exam technique as a whole.”
Gaining confidence and enhancing knowledge
“I was excited to attend every tutorial because I knew I would be met with tutors who share my enthusiasm for the subject and furthermore have extensive knowledge that enables in-depth conversations to be had. I was challenged to delve beyond the specification when I was comfortable with a topic, which instilled a sense of confidence in my academic abilities, but also I was able to adapt the structure of my studies to accommodate extra guidance and take more time on a topic when additional support was required.
Overall I would absolutely recommend Greene’s to anyone like me who felt quite shocked after receiving their A level results. Through their wide-ranging support system, from personal tutors to social events to subject tutors and workshops, Greene’s College is full of wonderful people who work hard to build up your confidence and nurture your abilities to propel you into academic success.”
Why Greene’s?
Many students seek opportunities to push their academic limits and fully realise their potential. Pradnya’s testimonial highlights one student’s journey of academic growth at Greene’s College Oxford. After feeling that her satisfactory grades didn’t reflect their true passion for the subject, they chose Greene’s for its personalised support and one-to-one tutorial style. This experience helped her enhance her academic performance, gain deeper subject knowledge, and build confidence in their abilities, all while being encouraged to take initiative and engage in challenging, in-depth learning.
