Neil and Celine McMahon
Oxford Centre Owners
Read More
We are happy to introduce ourselves as the proud new owners of Oxford Learning Centre Aurora!
Celine has a passion for kids and teaching, working in education for the past 15 years. She holds a Masters degree in teaching and currently works as an Occasional Teacher with the Toronto District School Board. When she is not working at the TDSB, she helps Neil manage his various business ventures.
Neil spent over a decade working in various roles on Bay Street, including as a licensed equity trader and Director of Compliance for a big six bank, before realizing sitting in an office all day was not going to be sustainable for him over the long term. In 2018, he took his passion for business and experience from Bay Street and made the leap to become an entrepreneur. With the help of Celine, they have opened several successful businesses, including two freshii restaurants, and look forward to opening another Oxford Learning Centre in Newmarket in the near future.
They live in the GTA with their two small girls, Madison and Hailey, and their wonderful dog Gemma!

Hello, my name is Alessandra, but I like to go by Allie. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Brock University, and I have a Bachelor of Therapeutic Recreation from Seneca College. I am currently enrolled in the Bachelor of Education program at Ontario Tech University. I have a passion for teaching. I want to contribute to a positive and meaningful environment for children by instilling values, compassion and empathy. I want to help students develop effective and sustainable problem-solving strategies that help them cross-curricular. I am an outdoor and sports enthusiast, so when I am not teaching at Oxford Learning, I like to spend my time playing hockey, ringette, and going hiking with my dog, Finn or enjoying various outdoor recreational activities such as camping, fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, etc.

Hi there! My name is Roaheen Mansuri. I'm currently studying Mechanical Engineering at York University — and I'm super excited to graduate in July 2023! I've worked in the industry for about five years, from pharmaceutical engineering to engineering consulting, and it's been a blast. But what I'm really passionate about is helping students like you understand those confusing and complicated math and science problems. I want to help you fill in any gaps in your knowledge so that you can be successful in your education as well as your future! It's important to me that you have a great experience learning and growing with Oxford Learning, both in and out of the classroom. Let's work together to achieve your goals!
