EnglishWhat Is Oxford Online English?
Updated
Oxford Online English is an online English-learning platform that combines free self-study lessons with paid, live classes taught by native-speaker teachers. It suits learners who want flexible, one-to-one instruction in general English, business English, IELTS preparation, writing, grammar, or pronunciation, and who are comfortable studying over common video-call tools such as Skype, Google Hangouts, or WhatsApp. The site also publishes free video, listening, and reading lessons weekly, so you can sample the teaching style before paying for anything.
What you can study
The platform organizes its teaching around six main areas:
- Spoken English — fluency and confidence
- Business English — using English professionally
- IELTS preparation — working toward a target exam score
- English writing — writing clearly and accurately
- English grammar — using English structure correctly
- English pronunciation — speaking clearly and naturally
Free video, listening, and reading lessons cover much of the same ground, which makes them a reasonable way to test whether the approach fits how you like to learn.
How the classes work
Live classes are delivered online by qualified teachers, with the site stating that teachers are well-qualified and experienced. You choose what you study, with whom, how, and when. The site describes no contracts, no advance payments, and no extra costs, and says payments and bookings are handled through the website.
A first class is offered at 10.99 USD, during which the teacher discusses what you need.
Membership levels and prices
The site lists four membership tiers. Prices below are as stated on the site and are monthly.
| Level | Price | What it includes |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 10.99 USD/month | Members-only and self-study materials, a premium in-depth level test, IELTS self-study materials, downloadable PDF notes for all video lessons |
| Silver | 128.99 USD/month | Four hours of 1-to-1 lessons with a teacher, all members-only materials, choose your teacher per class, 30/60/90-minute class options |
| Gold | 239.99 USD/month | Eight hours of 1-to-1 lessons, all Silver/Bronze benefits, book up to 60 days ahead, limited rollover of unused classes to the next month |
| Platinum | 340.99 USD/month | Twelve hours of 1-to-1 lessons, all lower-level benefits, up to three changes/cancellations per month with 24 hours' notice, roll over unused classes for up to three months |
How to decide whether it fits you
- Choose the free lessons first if you mainly want structured practice material and aren't ready to pay. New free lessons appear weekly.
- Choose Bronze if you want self-study materials, level testing, and PDF notes without live instruction.
- Choose Silver or above if you specifically want live one-to-one teaching. Silver gives you four hours a month and teacher selection; Gold and Platinum add more hours and more flexible scheduling and rollover.
- Consider the class format if you prefer a dedicated platform over Skype, Google Hangouts, or WhatsApp — the site builds its classes around these general tools rather than its own video system.
One practical note: because live-class hours differ sharply between tiers, compare the per-hour value against your actual study time before committing to a higher level. If you can only manage a few hours a month, Silver's four hours may already exceed what you'll use.
