Zain Divecha

Centre Director

My background is science and business but my passion is education. I believe that a mind that is trained to think deeply is a mind that is primed for success. True success takes persistence, patience and planning, which are just a few of the qualities that Oxford Learning aims to develop in all our students. This is why I love being a part of this team and, I hope, your child will love being a part of Oxford Learning!

Vivian Cheng

Educational Coordinator

I am a mother of two so I know that dealing with my kids' schoolwork can be challenging. I did not realize that every child learns differently before I started working at Oxford Learning. As a result, knowing how to learn becomes one of the most important paths to success in life. Oxford Learning is not a centre that only focuses on marks, but also study skills. After working for more than six years in Oxford Learning, the satisfaction of seeing a child that can excel at their best is priceless! I am proud to be part of the team!

As an educator, I see every student as a unique individual and I strive to manage an equitable environment through respect, which is key to optimizing students’ learning experience. Working at Oxford Learning has been a great experience. I’ve enjoyed working with families, and motivating students reach their potential and beyond. My strongest assets are my qualifications and experience as a teacher, which form my confidence in being prepared for the responsibilities as a Education Coordinator.

Christina Achacon

Educational Coordinator

As a graduate student who is in pursuit of obtaining my Bachelor of Education degree, I can truly say that teaching is a profession I am passionate about. What I have learned thus far through experience and educational training is that acknowledging the diversity of learning styles in students as well as identifying their individual needs is crucial in promoting lifelong learning. This is a philosophy that is integrated in Oxford Learning and is why I love being part of this team.

Jeff De Jesus

Senior Beyond Tutoring Teacher

I’ve been privileged enough to teach many students in the primary, junior and intermediate divisions during my time at Oxford Learning. It’s been my mission to promote student independence, initiative, critical thinking and persistence both academically and personally.

Students will learn to appreciate their own mistakes and view them as stepping stones and learning opportunities for future success. Additionally, I work hard to promote students to be self-aware of their own thinking, which in turn gives them power to set, monitor and adjust academic and personal goals accordingly.

Lastly, education should be fun and engaging. My objective is always to make Oxford Learning an “experience” for the students. It is much, much more than learning content. It is a confidence-boosting, welcoming and all-inclusive working environment where students can feel safe to express themselves and take academic risks without judgment.

We believe that every student can reach their potential and grow as both individuals and productive members of society. With a focus on independent learning and a strategic approach to education, the Oxford Learning program changes lives and inspires the minds of the future. I am proud to be a part of such a dedicated team and to have made a difference in the lives of our students.
