Shauna Jordan

Centre Manager

My name is Shauna Jordan. I was born and raised in London. Before starting at Oxford Learning I worked at the Casino for 10 years as both a Marketing Supervisor as well as a Customer Relations Supervisor.

I have always had a passion for working with children and Oxford Learning has given me that opportunity. I love watching children become more confident while reaching their full potential here at Oxford Learning. 

Heather Pym

Education Coordinator

My name is Heather and I grew up here in the Oakridge area. After finishing high school, I attended Western University where I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. After completing my degree, I spent a lot of time traveling to many new places in Southeast Asia and Central America.

Before coming to Oxford, I was working in customer service and management for over ten years. I love meeting new people and coming up with creative ways to problem solve.

My background in coaching is where my passion for helping children succeed first started. I want to not only help them develop their cognitive skills but also build their confidence to allow them to achieve their full potential!

Geoff Linsdell

Teacher - Math / Science

Hi, my name is Geoff. I grew up here in London, attending South Secondary and the University of Western Ontario.

I graduated last year with a double major in Chemistry and Economics.

Growing up, my immediate family was always involved with education in various ways and I’ve decided to follow their lead. School has always been an important part of my life and I hope to be able to share that passion with others.

In my spare time I enjoy volunteering around London, reading, and spending time with friends.

Frederick Durand

Teacher - En Français

Bonjour! My name is Frederick and I was born and raised in Montreal! I completed a bachelor in History at Concordia University a few years back and am currently in Teachers’ College here at Western University.

Prior to moving to London, I spent a year teaching in the Cree community of Mistissini in Northern Quebec and spent a few years as a flight instructor on a Boeing 737 simulator!

What I enjoyed doing when I have free time is reading about history and the news. But beyond everything is my passion for aviation. I got my first pilot license at 15 years old and I keep on flying more than ten years later!

I am looking forward to laughing and learning with all Oxford Learning students!

Marina Paron

Teacher - English

Hi there! My name is Marina. I grew up in Oakville, Ontario but have since lived in Kingston and London for school. I completed my bachelor’s degree in developmental psychology and linguistics at Queen’s University. Right now, I am busy completing my master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology at London’s very own Western University. No matter where I am living, you can usually find me snuggled up with a good book, a cup of tea, and my goldendoodle Ellie!

I have previously worked at one of Oxford Learning’s Oakville locations and I am thrilled to be joining the Hyde Park team. I can’t wait to meet all of the Oxford Learning students! Let’s get learning!

Devon Lowrie

Teacher - English

Hello, my name is Devon! I grew up in London and attended Oakridge Secondary School, then Western University. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts with an Honors in Studio Arts and a Major in the School for Advanced Studies in the Arts and Humanities. I chose my degree because it allowed me to pursue an interdisciplinary education, as it emphasizes the importance of studying multiple subjects and self-directed learning. I am fortunate enough that my hobby as a visual artist is also part of my career.

I enjoy taking my dog for walks, reading, and photography. During the summer months I worked at summer camp, where my nickname was Ducky because I loved the Land Before Time movies!

I enjoy working at Oxford Learning because I love when students find something they are interested in and it inspires them towards their future.

Michelle Dengate

Teacher - En Français

Hello! My name is Michelle! I have lived in London for about 15 years now and am originally from British Colombia. I recently graduated from Laurier University completing a Concurrent Education program with my Honours Bachelor in Contemporary Studies and Bachelor of Education, minor in French and Science. 

I currently teach at East Oxford Public School as the Core French Teacher. I have always had a passion for learning and working with kids. I am excited to continue developing my skills as a teacher and empowering and inspiring kids to have more confidence in their ability to learn! 

In my free time I love to go hiking and visit the beach. My husband and I spend a lot of time travelling as well as taking care of our beloved animals!
