EnglishDoes Oxford Online English Offer Free English Lessons?
Updated
Yes. Oxford Online English publishes free video, listening, and reading lessons that you can use to practise English on your own, with new free lessons added every week. The free material is separate from the paid memberships, which add members-only and self-study resources plus one-to-one classes. If your goal is independent practice at no cost, the free lessons are the place to start; if you want structured materials, level testing, or live teaching, you'll need a paid option.
What the free lessons include
According to the site, the free offering consists of:
- Video lessons — the core format, covering topics such as spoken English, grammar, pronunciation, and writing.
- Listening lessons — audio-based practice.
- Reading lessons — text-based practice.
The stated purpose is to help you "practise your English," and the site says new free English lessons are published every week. That means the free library is a practice resource rather than a complete course: you choose what to study and work through it independently.
What is not free
The site distinguishes free lessons from membership content. Paid membership unlocks:
- Members-only and self-study materials
- A premium, in-depth level test
- IELTS self-study materials
- Downloadable PDF notes for all video lessons
Live one-to-one classes with a teacher are also paid. The site lists a first class at 10.99 USD, and membership tiers that include teacher hours (Silver, Gold, Platinum) are priced higher. So free lessons give you the video, listening, and reading content, but not the notes, tests, or teacher time.
Membership levels at a glance
The site lists these tiers (prices as published on the page):
| Level | Price | What it includes |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 10.99 USD per month | Members-only and self-study materials, premium level test, IELTS self-study materials, downloadable PDF notes |
| Silver | 128.99 USD per month | Four hours of 1-to-1 lessons, all members-only materials, choose your teacher, 30/60/90-minute classes |
| Gold | 239.99 USD per month | Eight hours of 1-to-1 lessons, all Silver/Bronze benefits, book up to 60 days ahead, limited rollover |
| Platinum | 340.99 USD per month | Twelve hours of 1-to-1 lessons, all lower-tier benefits, up to three changes/cancellations per month, rollover up to three months |
Note that Bronze is a materials-only tier — it does not include teacher hours. The higher tiers bundle the same materials with live class time.
How to decide
Use the free lessons if you want to practise independently, you're comfortable choosing your own topics, and you don't need notes, tests, or a teacher.
Consider Bronze if you want the free-style self-study plus the level test, IELTS materials, and PDF notes, but still no live teaching.
Consider Silver or above if you want live one-to-one classes. The site says you can choose your teacher and class length, and that classes are held over free programs such as Skype, Google Hangouts, or WhatsApp.
Practical starting point
- Go to the free lessons section and pick a topic area — spoken English, business English, IELTS preparation, writing, grammar, or pronunciation.
- Work through the video, listening, or reading lesson.
- Check back weekly, since new free lessons are published every week.
- If you find you want notes, a level test, or a teacher, compare the membership tiers above against what you actually need.
One thing the page does not state: whether the free lessons require an account or login. Treat that as unconfirmed rather than assuming either way.
