About Oxford Summer Courses

Founded by school friends and Oxford graduates, Oxford Summer Courses is part of the Summer Discovery Group. We are driven by a singular vision: to inspire and nurture independent thought through world-class education. As a certified B Corp, we are also committed to making a positive social and environmental impact.

Our students aged 9-24 explore their passions, challenge their thinking, and immerse themselves in academic traditions across multiple prestigious locations in Oxford, Cambridge and top boarding schools. We believe that education should be as unique as the student. That’s why we offer a fully tailored learning experience with no rigid syllabus. Instead, our tutors adapt each course to the specific interests and goals of the students attending.

About the role

Use your expertise to craft and deliver an inspiring Physics syllabus that challenges and empowers students on their academic and personal journey.

We're looking for enthusiastic Physics tutors to deliver engaging, curiosity-driven courses to small groups of 16–17-year-olds. You'll design and teach your own Physics curriculum across a 2-week intensive course — whether that's unravelling the mysteries of quantum mechanics, tracing the physics of black holes and spacetime, or revealing how thermodynamic processes power everything from jet engines to the humble refrigerator. You'll foster a positive environment where students feel free to question, experiment and discover that Physics stretches far beyond anything they've encountered in the classroom.

Maintain a supportive classroom atmosphere: Create a welcoming and positive environment where students feel excited to contribute and learn from their peers.
Encourage university-style learning and independent study: Run sessions that mirror undergraduate teaching methods, giving students a genuine sense of university life while guiding them to develop advanced critical thinking and independent research skills.
Set substantial assignments and deliver weekly tutorials: Challenge students with work requiring independent study, then provide personalised feedback and guidance through focused two-to-one or small group weekly tutorials.
Write personalised reports: Compose Letters of Recommendation for your students to help them continue along their academic journey.
Complete mandatory training: Familiarise yourself with company procedures, logistical requirements and safeguarding through our online induction.
Stay attentive to student welfare: Monitor attendance and remain alert to student welfare and safeguarding, reporting any concerns to help keep students safe.

About you

You're passionate about your subject and bring creativity and flexibility to lesson planning, adapting to diverse learning styles and classroom dynamics. You're committed to fostering an inclusive environment where every student feels valued and can succeed, and you maintain a strong awareness of safeguarding to ensure a safe and supportive learning space for all young people.
