Our story

Oxford thinking.
Human teaching.

The Oxford AI School was founded on a simple belief: AI should work for everyone — not just the technical elite. We're here to make that happen.

The founder

Built by a marketer,
for the real world.

The Oxford AI School was founded by a CMO and marketing expert with 25 years of experience helping brands, businesses and people communicate more effectively. When AI arrived as a genuine force, the question wasn't whether it would change everything — it was who would help people actually use it.

Having worked at the frontier of technology — including as CMO at Somnia, a leading Layer 1 blockchain — the founder brings rare insight: deep tech literacy, combined with the ability to explain complex ideas simply and build the confidence of anyone who feels left behind.

The Oxford AI School is the result: a coaching and training business rooted in Oxford's intellectual tradition, but built for the real world of individuals, small businesses and growing teams.

Our mission
AI should not be gated behind technical knowledge, expensive consultants or corporate training budgets. It should be available to the retired teacher, the corner shop owner, the startup founder and the school leavers — all of them. That's what we're here for.

What we stand for

Our values

Everything we do flows from three simple commitments.

🎯

Practical first

We teach tools you'll use the moment the session ends. No fluff, no theory for theory's sake. Every programme is built around real tasks, real problems and real results.

🤝

Human always

AI can feel cold and intimidating. We make it warm. Every coaching relationship is built on patience, plain language and genuine care for the person in front of us.

🏛️

Oxford standard

We hold ourselves to the standard that Oxford's name implies: rigorous, honest, excellent. Our content is carefully researched and constantly updated as AI evolves.
