Meaghan

Centre Director

Hello! My name is Meaghan, and I am the Centre Director and Co-Owner of Oxford Learning Burlington.

With a Bachelor's Degree and an emphasis in Business Management and Marketing, I also have extensive experience working with children of all ages. I decided that I wanted to pursue a career that would not only put my management skills to great use, but also provide assistance in the educational growth and development of children. This decision is what led me to Oxford Learning.

Oxford Learning holds a very special place in my heart, as I myself was a student at Oxford, struggling with math in high school. Throughout my time at Oxford, I developed much more confidence in myself and my abilities, there were big imporvements in my attitude and a signifigant increase in my grades. I strongly believe in our program because I’ve experienced first hand that it truly does work! For me, there is nothing more rewarding than knowing you have helped so many students achieve great academic and personal success.

I really enjoy building relationships with all of our students and feel it is so important for each child or teen to know they are valued and in a comfortable and safe environment, while also incorporating a little fun into what they are learning about. 

In my free time I enjoy seeing live music and sports, being outdoors as much as possible, crafting and anything DIY, doing fun activities with my nieces and nephews and spending time with my family, friends and pets.

Lauren

Beyond Tutoring and Advantage

Hi! I’m Lauren and I teach students in JK to grade 8. I just completed my Bachelor's Degree in Child and Youth Studies from Brock University. I’ll be starting Teacher’s College in September 2021 to earn my Bachelor of Education Degree, also at Brock University. 

I knew I wanted to be a teacher from a very young age. I remember the excitement I felt going to school and I love to celebrate that excitement with students as well! I believe in celebrating small and big accomplishments with students. I enjoy seeing the excitement and pride in students when they learn new concepts; my goal is to help students so that they can feel this way in every class. I get great satisfaction from seeing students grow and develop, both personally and academically. Helping students realize their growth and potential is so important! I believe in building relationships with students and getting to know them as a student as well as a person. This helps me to adapt my teaching style in a way that works best for each student and also makes learning more fun. 

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, watching tv and movies, and being outdoors when the weather is nice!

Ally

Beyond Tutoring, French and Advantage

Hello, my name is Ally, and I am an English, French, and CORE teacher at Oxford Learning. I completed my honours Undergraduate Degree in History with a minor in Christological Studies. In 2021/2022, I completed my Master’s in History at McMaster, with a specialization in British History.

I am now a post-graduate employee at McMaster University in addition to working at Oxford! I have a passion for experiential learning and education development in university and high school age, with a focus in English and French. My short-term goal is to work toward a PhD in History or Education. There are many reasons that I love working at Oxford, but specifically I enjoy the individualized approach to each student, the elation when a student finally understands a concept, and working on soft-skill habits for high school students! When working with older kids, I particularly love exploring the nuances of reading, and developing literary comprehension to open up the world of literature! Outside of school, I enjoy reading fantasy books, skiing, and ballet. 

Holly

Beyond Tutoring and Advantage

Hi everyone! My name is Holly and I am an Elementary teacher here at the Oxford Burlington location.

I am currently studying full time at the University of Toronto where I am in the process of obtaining a Masters degree in Human Resources and Industrial Relations. Prior to my current studies, I also studied at McMaster University where I obtained an Honours Bachelor of Applied Science degree.  As someone who believes in continual learning, I enjoy expanding my skillset and knowledge as much as possible and have learned so much while teaching at Oxford.

When I was young I required additional academic support in both math and science and so organization’s like Oxford hold a special place in my heart and it was through the additional after-school support that I received that I was able to become more confident in my studies and achieve all of my academic goals! I truly do believe in Oxford’s teaching methods and I hope to instill the same confidence in the student’s I teach that I received all those years ago when I was a young learner. 

When I’m not studying for my classes or teaching at Oxford, I love travelling and being outdoors as much as possible. When the weather permits I enjoy hiking, biking, kayaking and swimming. I also recently got a new puppy named Winnie who keeps me and my family on our toes!

I love working at Oxford Learning because it caters to the unique needs of students and creates a welcoming environment, which helps students feel appreciated. Oxford Learning acknowledges the ‘small wins,’ which is one of my favourite parts. This means no matter how big or small the accomplishment is, we are always proud of our students. 

Beyond academics, I value the importance of life skills such as time management and organization. These are valuable traits that will help prepare individuals for success in life. Most importantly, I love working at Oxford Learning because I witness increased confidence among the students and an increased drive to learn.

Tutoring is my greatest passion, and I love teaching and sharing my experiences with the students here. I have been in a position when I was in high school where I wished I could have had a teacher who understood me and the way I learn. This is why I strive to be a teacher for my students. Oxford Learning allows me to help these students be the best version of themselves and for them to feel confident in their abilities. I believe every student has the potential to be great, and it is my responsibility as their tutor to bring this potential out.
