Studies show that students who continue to struggle in school without intervention compound their learning losses into a larger deficit that is difficult to remediate. In contrast, carefully tailored learning interventions can yield remarkable and swift progress in overcoming learning obstacles, as evidenced by many students in our center. I am the one who strongly believes Oxford Learning's Program works.
I also, as a parent, understand how much all parents feel the pressure to raise and support their children to succeed academically. I advise you to seek help who can share your burden. We are here to help you.
I am a doctorate in chemical engineering with years of industrial experience. I am teaching math and chemistry. I am a person who enjoys helping our students to stay on the right track for their academic success.

I can provide a practically focused introduction of math concepts, covering fundamental analysis and practical application throughout the lesson. My lesson focuses more on why but is always followed by how to help students to develop a deep, generic understanding of math and physics concepts. I have an excellent command of mathematics in all math disciplines; I use strong communication skills to share this knowledge, motivate and instruct students to make math subjects more enjoyable. Students learn how new math concepts are being connected to what they have already learned.
I hold a master's degree in physics and had years of industrial experience before becoming a math/physics teacher at a high school. Recently I retired and joined Oxford Learning to share my years of experience in teaching young learners.
Building strong confidence in math and physics before graduating high school will make a huge difference in student's post-secondary study at the university. I believe tutoring makes a difference.

I am an Ontario Certified Teacher through the Ontario College of Teachers and recently completed my Bachelor of Education at Brock University. I also hold a Master of Science and Bachelor of Science in Earth and Environmental Science from McMaster University. My favourite part about teaching at Oxford Learning is watching my students take on a new challenge and then watching their confidence grow as they master that concept. I love creating a supportive and welcoming learning environment for students and always hope to pass on my passion for learning to my students. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking, reading, and travelling.

I am a grad of the University of Toronto, majoring in English and currently pursuing Teacher College Program.
I am more like a coach or facilitator than a tutor because I support students in controlling their own learning. This promotes student's high self-esteem and active mind. I always try to balance between pushing students to do their best work but not pushing them to the point of frustration. I value effective interactive coaching, so I respond to each student's unique strengths and weaknesses.
It has been a great opportunity for me to help every student learn skills to do better.

I am currently in the concurrent education program leading to OCT, majoring in French studies at York University's Bilingual Campus. For me, it's important to teach using the students' strengths while overcoming their weaknesses. I strive to incorporate their preferred learning style, especially when learning a new language, to make sure there is a solid foundation. I then encourage students to push themselves and celebrate their success. Teaching for Oxford has given me the unique opportunity to teach in small groups, which helps me engage with each student equally. It is a joy to see the students develop their French language skills and succeed in our class.

I would describe myself as Respectful, Personable, Flexible and Dedicated.
Respectful: I hold myself to high ethical standards in my interactions with students and colleagues
Personable: I know how to establish a rapport with students
Flexible: I have worked with a variety of students and can tailor my approach based on what they need
Dedicated: pedagogy is my vocation, I am committed to each student's success
In my spare time, I enjoy organizing book and film clubs where I and a group of people work through a list of texts or movies that I have selected. Leading these clubs involves me guiding the discussion, helping others analyze and interpret media, and assisting member's skillful articulation of their opinions on the texts. I think these experiences transfer well to tutoring students in English.
