Method of Study
Seekers International incorporates an adaptation of the Oxford Tutorial Method and form of study.
Oxford Tutorial Method
The Tutorial Method has been used at Oxford for more than 500 years. It is an individualised and rigorous method of teaching and learning. Each Oxford student has an academic tutor [a Mentor, Advisor or Professor]. The Oxford method of education emphasizes learning to think through research and writing. Oxford srtudents are responsible for planning their own time and ensuring that the requisite work is accomplished. The instructional method requires the preparation of a series of essays on various suggested topics relative to the course major.
We have adapted the Oxford Tutorial Method to the Internet and email online environment. You communicate with your Professor by email or telephone as often as you need. Oxford students must be able to present and defend their own opinions and to accept constructive criticism and advice. Tackling topics in depth and defending the arguements in their written work sharpens their thinking. Our online adaptation of the Oxford method will asist you in developing such skills as [a] the ability to organise your own work time-table rather than have it imposed on you, [b] the ability to present a point of view [c] the ability to understand, evaluate and respond to the ideas of others.
The primary and main purpose of the Oxford Tutorial Method is to teach you how to teach yourself.
