St. Thomas

The other night [my son] asked to go to bed so that he could read a book I had bought for him. This morning, he asked if he could take his book to school to read when he felt like it. I couldn't be happier! This is so very different than where he was when he started with you at Oxford Learning. Thank you so very much! B.Wallace

My daughter Ava has been attending classes at the Oxford Learning Centre located in St. Thomas since the spring of this year. I cannot even begin to put to words the difference it has made in my child, but I will attempt it in praise of the absolutely phenomenal work the staff there do. Ava arrived to the world a little earlier than planned, and as such has had some issues, mostly with her speech, that have hampered her learning, and her teacher's ability to assess her. She also had the misfortune of having multiple teachers her JK and SK year, and since she is shy to the extreme, this only added to the difficulties she faced. On the recommendation of a dear friend, I enrolled her in the Oxford Learning program, and the change in her has been beyond what I would have imagined. Ava had begun to withdraw, not wanting to participate in class, or interact with her classmates. After the few months at Oxford Learning her personality has done a complete 180. My shy child now approaches obstacles she would have avoided before with determination and fearlessness. Her speech has improved, as has her desire to interact with children her own age. Her ability to interact with the adults in her life has also benefited from the confidence and pride she's found since starting classes with Kathy. Watching my child light up when faced with a new learning challenge, instead of backing down and withdrawing, is worth more to me than anything else. I can give a heartfelt recommendation to any parent who wonders if this program can help or will change their child's outlook on learning. To (all) the wonderful staff at St. Thomas Oxford Learning Centre, thank you. - J. Swanborough

When we started with Oxford Learning, my daughter was well below grade level with her reading.  Following a learning assessment, we started on a detailed plan to help her gain the confidence and skills to get her on the road to reading.  Now, she enjoys reading stories to her Grandparents, reading every sign she can find, and is starting to write her own stories! We were able to take part in two different summer camps - one for my son (SK) and one for my daughter (Grade 3).  My son loved coming each afternoon to play with his classmates, and enjoyed the activities and crafts.  My daughter couldn't stop talking about the amazing science experiments they did each day - we still use the 'lava lamp' that she made:)  It was a perfect sized program and was very enjoyable for both my children. We've been very fortunate to have Oxford Learning in our lives.  The wonderful staff have made every effort to accommodate the various learning styles and difficulties, working with each of my children to customize a program that helps them meet their goals.  I've really enjoyed working with the Oxford Learning team, and appreciate the awesome programs they've designed to meet our needs.  I would highly recommend Oxford Learning! - S.

My son and daughter have been enrolled for both the summer program and the school year program. They have both excelled in the classroom as well as in their social setting. They enjoy the classroom setting at Oxford Learning and have made many new friends. The teachers are all wonderful and have a great deal of patience.   - J. Meglic

Our daughter was struggling with her reading in school; it was a fight at night to get her to read. We tried to get her the extra help she needed at the school but when that wasn’t working we decided to take matters into our own hands and sought out Oxford Learning Centres to get her the extra help that she required. Her reading has improved significantly and she is now reading on her own without being “forced” to do so. Her confidence level has also improved tremendously she is no longer embarrassed about her reading and even if she struggles on a word while reading she has the extra confidence to figure out the word without giving up! She loves attending her classes and we never have to “force” her to go she is always willing. After her class she is excited and can’t wait to share what she accomplished while she was there. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and the help that Oxford Learning has offered to us. The staff is amazing and very friendly they genuinely care about each student that they see. - C.
