OISE was founded in 1973 by Till Gins. Till has always believed that a strong relationship between the learner and teacher is hugely important to language development. This more intimate relationship is central to the OISE approach to language trips. Till and OISE have refined the teaching approach over the years to directly meet our learners’ individual needs. OISE's language learning philosophy is based on a very narrow student-teacher ratio. Classes can thus be adapted to the needs and the level of each participant. Intensive programmes are delivered by enthusiastic professionals, ensuring that each individual learner is able to excel and integrate the knowledge learnt in the classroom directly into real-life situations.
Since 1973, OISE's language courses in small classes of 4 and 8 students, and one-to-one lessons have been specifically designed to meet the aspirations of ambitious children, students and professionals, challenging them to exceed their own expectations. Intensive programmes delivered by enthusiastic professionals help individuals pass tests with composure, prepare students for their entry into professional life, and aide professionals in developing their language skills for international business.
