Our 'live-time' weekly classes are offered in two formats.

- ‘Online – live’ (also known as Weekly Oxford Worldwide, or WOW): taught completely online, enjoy live, interactive tutor-led online sessions weekly, along with prerecorded lectures and course materials. Each course has 5 or 10 meetings, which includes an introductory meeting to introduce you to the online platform.
