Our past, our future

The quirkiness of the spelling of ‘Greene’s’ stems from our founder’s (Edward’s) family name in the 18th century, and is recognisable as the surname of one of England’s well-known 20th century novelists, Graham Greene – Edward’s family relative.

Edward established Greene’s in Oxford in 1967 and moved to the 17th century buildings in Pembroke Street soon after. The property, in the heart of the city and surrounded by university colleges, is still our home today and has inspired eminent academics for centuries.

Greene’s is the oldest tutorial college in Oxford, indeed quite possibly in the U.K., and throughout its history has only changed owners once.

While proud of our heritage and depth of experience, we are passionate about innovation and preparing our students for the 21st, and indeed the 22nd century.

Alumni

Since our inception in 1967, more than 15,000 students have been taught at Greene’s. Most, like the tutors who taught them, have gone on to enjoy distinguished and prominent careers. Many fondly remember their own time at Greene’s and have returned as parents with their own children to seek the benefits of individual tuition – and also to see how much Greene’s continues to evolve over the years.
