Our Staff

The SCIO team comprises well qualified and research active staff. The academic staff are all Oxford trained and / or active members of the relevant Oxford faculties (academic departments), have been in the city and university for many years, and are recognized academic leaders. You will be taught by people who really know the Oxford system, and who face the same challenges as you do, as you research in the libraries and muster your thoughts in answer to a probing question. The administrative and operations staff have a vision and passion for SCIO’s mission and your ability to thrive as part of it.

Directors of Study, Core Teaching, and Project faculty

SCIO’s directors of study, core teaching staff, and academic project coordinators are all exceptional scholars in their own right and are integrally involved in Oxford scholarship. Their publication records and professional activity are exceptional. Leaders in their fields, they are also deeply committed to the formative aspect of teaching and are deeply interested in the students under their charge. They are joined by more than 120 other Oxford academics whom SCIO calls upon to offer the list of more than 500 tutorials we have on offer.
