Greene's Tutorial College (informally referred to as Greene's) is an independent (i.e. private) university-preparatory school and tutorial college (an educational institution which combines characteristics of a tuition centre and a college) in Oxford, England which specialises in providing bespoke one-to-one tuition for students of any age, though particularly 16-18 year olds.
The school is situated near Pembroke College and Christ Church - two constituent colleges of the University of Oxford. Greene's is the oldest tutorial college operating in Oxford. Because of its strong focus on exam preparation, the school is often called a cram school and has been described as "the Rolls-Royce of Oxford crammers".
The history of Greene’s Tutorial College goes back to 1967 when Oxford classics graduate Edward Greene founded a small tutorial college known as Edward Greene’s Tutorial Establishment in the 17th century buildings of 45 Pembroke Street in Oxford. Since then, over 15,000 students have been taught at Greene’s at various stages of their education.
Traditionally an Oxbridge preparatory school which provided private tutoring for Oxford and Cambridge entrance, Greene's today prepares students for admission to universities worldwide. After the retirement of Edward Greene, the college was taken over by Christopher Upton and Matthew Uffindell, both Oxford-educated tutors.
The school has educated a number of high-profile students, which also includes the Math child prodigy March Tian Boedihardjo. March was taught by about seven tutors during his two years of study and passed his school-leaving exams at the age of nine years. Thereafter, he entered a university in Hong Kong.
Greene's Tutorial College has two buildings in Oxford, England:
