Alexandra Dunlop

English, French and Elementary School Math Teacher

Hi! My name is Alex. I am very passionate about helping children to learn more effectively and to become stronger students. I pride myself in making this a very enjoyable experience and process to ensure that my students leave each session feeling good about themselves and what they have accomplished. Years ago, I attended Oxford for help with my essay writing and it was such a wonderful experience. When I graduated from Seneca College, three years ago, I was interested in returning to the program/centre as a teacher to offer the same experience to others. I am very approachable and welcome all feedback. My success is measured by the success of my
students. Teaching has always been one of my main career choices. I love teaching and working with kids. Both my experience at Oxford as a student and doing multiple teaching placements during my high school years really helped me to better understand how and why education and leadership are so important. Now, six years later, I’m a French, English and Math teacher for grades 1-12 at Oxford. I love being able to inspire students and make a difference in kids’ lives. I would like to help every student improve in school and reach their fullest potential every single day!

Maryam Amijee

Elementary English/Math

Hello, 

My Name is Maryam Amijee and I am an Ontario Certified Teacher. I studied at York University where I obtained my B.Ed and BES (Bachelors in Environmental Studies). Since then, I have worked as a librarian and first grade homeroom teacher at a school in Richmond Hill. I have had the privilege to work at Oxford Learning for over three years and believe that every child is capable of learning and achieving great things. Teaching has always been my career of choice, hence, while working with students I feel like I am truly living the dream! 

Outside of Oxford, I am a mother of two girls. I spend my time doing crafts and baking with my kids. I love the outdoors, and hiking within our neighbourhood is my favourite weekend family activity. 

I always look forward to working with your children at Oxford in helping them expand their critical thinking abilities, self-confidence, knowledge and making it all a fun learning experience.
