Hello! My name is Andrew and I am the Centre Director and co-owner of this location, Oakville North, as well as Brampton South. I have been with the Oxford Learning Company since 1998 and have thoroughly enjoyed having the privilege of being an influential part of the Oakville community for over 25 years. I have had the pleasure of supporting students, ages 3 - 18, in developing stronger thinking and learning skills. Apart from my time at Oxford Learning, I am also a grandfather of 6!  In my spare time, I enjoy going up to the cottage with my family. I am an avid fisher, boater, and stamp collector. I am known for my funny stories amongst our staff, so if you ever catch me on a visit to the centre, be sure to ask me to share one! 

Caitlin has been working in the Oxford Learning system for nearly 14 years, and is devoted to her profession. Caitlin cares deeply about the well-being of her staff and students, and it is this compassion and support that have built the foundation for success in her Oxford Learning centres.

Caitlin has been the Co-Owner and Centre Director of Oxford Learning Oakville North for the last 8 years, and has recently opened a new location in Burlington (Appleby-Dundas). Caitlin and her incredible team are dedicated to making a difference, and as such, go above and beyond for every child.

Caitlin’s commitment to fostering a positive and supportive environment for her staff and students has propelled her Oakville North location into the top 2 ranking of all Oxford Learning centres in Canada (sometimes #1!) This award-winning location excels because its team of passionate educators always do what’s best for their students. 

Caitlin has decided to open a second location because she has seen the difference Oxford Learning has made for thousands of kids in her Oakville centre. She wants to provide this same exemplary support to the students in Burlington, where her own kids attend school.

In February 2025, Caitlin was awarded the EFCA100's 2025 Franchisee Outstanding Achievement award, which was an award given to the one franchisee across Canada’s top 100 franchises whose journey “not only exemplifies personal success, but also serves as an inspiration to others..they elevate the profile of franchising within the broader community.” As a result of her success in Oakville, Caitlin was also asked to be the keynote speaker for a major Canadian franchise this summer - stay tuned for the company name!

In the Oxford Learning system, Caitlin volunteers on the Franchisee Advisory Council (5+ years) and actively participates in Oxford Learning’s mentorship initiatives. Caitlin strongly believes in helping everyone around her and finds great value and fulfillment in supporting her fellow franchisees so that they, too, may find success.

Hi there! My name is Kelly-Anne, and I am the Centre Manager here at Oxford Learning Oakville North. In this role, I have had the privilege of guiding and supporting hundreds of students over these past 7 years. This role has been incredibly fulfilling, allowing me to be part of their journey in achieving their dreams and unlocking their full potential. Being able to serve our community in this way fills me with pride, and it is truly an honour to be here every day. I believe in the power of encouragement and providing students with the support they need to explore their capabilities and aim for the stars! This centre has been a second home to me, and my passion for nurturing students’ knowledge and confidence continues to grow.

Outside of work, I am Beyonce’s #1 fan, and my favourite food is my Grandma’s chicken curry. Summer is my favourite time of year, and I love camping, beach trips, and dancing! I carry that same energy into my role as I cheer on every student who walks through our doors.

Hello! My name is Hannah and I am an Education Coordinator here at Oxford Learning Oakville North! I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Education from York University and I specialize in elementary education as well as high school English! Prior to starting my teaching journey, I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Theatre & Film at McMaster University. I have always had a passion for working with kids and I have been lucky enough to pursue this passion through camp counselling, tutoring, nannying and of course my work here at Oxford Learning! I believe that one of my roles as an educator is to foster a brave space for my students by listening to their needs, encouraging them to take risks, and celebrating their strengths! I also believe that every student can reach their full potential. My job is to ensure their success by providing consistent encouragement and support, opportunities for growth, and resources that suit their needs. The excitement on a student’s face, when they have that ‘aha’ moment, is priceless, and it’s what motivates me to keep doing what I do! In my spare time, I love to go on adventures with my friends and family, play video games, cuddle with my cats, and do crafts!

Howdy! My name is Sarah and I'm an Education Coordinator and High School Teacher here at Oxford Learning Oakville North! I have a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Genome Biology from the University of Toronto, and a Master of Science in Microbiology and Cell Science from the University of Florida. My interest in teaching was initially inspired by the excellent teachers at my high school, who not only sparked my lifelong love of science, math, and English but also showed me how important it is to foster a positive and nurturing learning environment. As such, my goal as an educator has always been to make learning fun and accessible for all of my students, and ensure that they are not simply learning, but also loving what they learn. I believe that when students feel supported and heard, and when they feel that the challenges they are facing are understood by their teachers, they can truly spread their wings and soar to their full potential. English, math, and science can all be daunting in their own ways, but with just a little bit of perseverance, and a whole lot of fun and excitement, I know every single one of my students can learn to love these subjects more than they ever thought they could! Outside of work, I love to read, write, bake, crochet, play video games, and discover new restaurants and coffee shops. I'm also obsessed with film photography!

Fun fact: I lived in South Korea and taught English there for one and a half years!

Hey there! My name is Aqsa and I’m an elementary and high school teacher here at Oxford Learning Oakville North. I recently graduated from the University of Toronto Mississauga with a Bachelor of Science, majoring in psychology and criminology. As such, much of my educational background is focused on topics of child development, mental health, and social inequalities within major institutions, including the education system. Furthermore, I have prior experience working with kids through babysitting, tutoring, and of course through being the older sister of two younger siblings. I am incredibly lucky to take my experiences and knowledge and to be able to apply them to both my teaching methods, and to the way I interact with the kids I work with. My goal is to make children understand that they are capable of more than they realize, and to provide the support and encouragement that will enable them to be successful. My work has been incredibly rewarding, and I am so lucky to be able to be doing such meaningful work. During my spare time, I enjoy binge-watching TV shows, trying new foods, and hanging out with my friends.

Hi everyone! My name is Zeynab, and I am a math and physics teacher at Oxford Learning Oakville North. I have over five years of experience teaching these subjects to high school and university students. My profound passion as an educator lies in fostering confidence and instilling a love of learning in my students. What truly drives me is witnessing those transformative ‘aha’ moments when they grasp new concepts. Moreover, my ongoing pursuit of a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering at McMaster University lends a practical dimension to my teaching, enriching it with knowledge of mechanics and equations. Beyond the classroom, my life is coloured by simple yet cherished pleasures. Spending quality time with friends and family, and my love for the great outdoors, offers much-needed balance in my life.

Hi! My name is Michela and I am an elementary and high school teacher here at Oxford Learning Oakville North! I recently graduated from the University of Toronto with an Honours Bachelor of Science, studying chemistry, physiology, and English literature. I have tutored high school students in a variety of subjects since 2017, and have recently had experience supplying for the HCDSB. As an older sister, and the eldest of ten cousins, I have always found myself taking on a leadership role in which I can nurture and provide guidance to those around me. Oxford Learning has been the perfect environment in which I can apply my love for teaching alongside my passion/knowledge of my favourite subjects. Anyone who has taught/tutored students before would probably agree that the best part of the job is seeing students grow their confidence in the subjects they are learning. I’m here to provide the assistance and encouragement that will allow every student to be the best they can be! Aside from teaching, you can find me with my nose in a book, cooking/baking, or watching sports (go Bills!).

Hey! My name is Jason and I am a French and English teacher here at Oxford Learning Oakville North. I graduated from the University of Toronto in 2020 with a bachelor’s degree majoring in Art & Art History, and I did a double minor in Visual Culture and Cinema Studies. I have a passion for learning new languages and a lifelong dedication both to writing and creating art, and my goal as a teacher is to make these subjects as fascinating to students as they are to me. I greatly enjoy passing on my knowledge to anyone who will listen, and I firmly believe that a good teacher who is passionate about their subject makes all the difference to their students. My favourite part of teaching has to be seeing my students gain the confidence to apply their knowledge to any task they have at hand. With languages especially, you will find that there are many different ways to express your thoughts not limited to textbook speech, and it is very rewarding to see my students adapt their speech and writing to better express themselves. In my spare time I like to cook, read, and play games as well as go for long hikes with my family.

Hi! My name is Trevor, and I am a tutor at Oxford Learning Oakville North! In 2020, I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Pure Mathematics, and the following year, I earned another Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and Statistics. After two years of advanced studies, I achieved my Master’s degree in Mathematics Education in October 2023. During my journey of studying mathematics, I experienced significant struggles, which has given me a deep understanding of how students feel when faced with complex mathematical concepts. Fortunately, I was inspired by an incredible high school math teacher who encouraged and guided me, making mathematics my strongest subject. Every time I think of my high school math teacher, I am reminded of the power of teaching and inspired to pass that encouragement on to other students. Because of this, I have developed a strong passion for education. I truly enjoy spending time with students, helping them grow, and learning alongside them. The most rewarding part of teaching is witnessing a student's confidence grow as they better understand challenging topics and develop a genuine interest in learning. In my spare time, I enjoy a variety of hobbies such as reading detective novels, practicing martial arts, swimming, playing the flute, yoyo tricks, and drawing manga. Fun facts: In the past few years, I have self-studied 10 online courses related to law and economics. My favourite author is Agatha Christie, and my favourite genre of music is classical! Lastly, my favourite novels are Evil Under The Sun, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd and the Big Four. 

Hi everyone! I’m Mehdi, a High School Math and Science Tutor at Oxford Learning Oakville North and am a fourth-year Honours Life Science student at McMaster University. Ever since I was young, I’ve been fascinated by science and driven to learn as much as I could. This passion grew even stronger when I started working in clinics and hospitals, where I discovered my calling in the healthcare field. Now, as I continue to explore this path, I’m on a mission to find my unique role in shaping the future of healthcare. As a tutor since highschool, I’ve worked with diverse learners, breaking down complex topics into simple, relatable concepts. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing that “Ohhh!” moment when a concept finally clicks for a student. Overall, my goal is to make learning engaging and accessible, empowering future problem-solvers and professionals. Let’s grow and succeed together! Fun facts: I am a big anime fan and photographer! My favourite drink is coffee, and my favourite animal is ducks – QUACK! I love the anime ‘Bleach’, and I most enjoy the winter season.

Hi! My name is Kendra and I am an Elementary Math and English teacher here at Oxford Learning Oakville North! A couple of years ago, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, with a concentration in Criminology and a minor in History from Brock University. I am also planning to attend teachers college and become a certified teacher! My love for teaching began at a young age when I was in dance. In my final years, I was a demonstrator alongside my dance teacher, and I would help the little ones with their positioning and technique. Seeing the kids gain confidence after helping them was an incredibly rewarding experience. I love to teach because teaching is more than just delivering lessons; it’s how you make a difference in young people’s lives. Teaching brings aspects of creativity and inspiration and highlights the joy of learning. My goal as a teacher is to engage young minds to help them grow not only academically, but also on a personal level. I strive to make learning fun for students and build connections with each and every one of them! In my spare time, I enjoy watching shows on Netflix, cuddling with my cats, cooking/baking, shopping, and travelling! Fun facts: I used to dance ballet, and I have two adorable kitties named Deo and Jasper! My favourite colour is lilac, and my favourite show is Gilmore Girls.

Hi! My name is Safia, and I am a teacher at Oxford Learning Oakville North! I completed my Honours Bachelor of Science at the University of Toronto and am currently pursuing my Master of Teaching at UofT as well. My teachable subject is science, but along the way, I developed a deep love for math and now teach both! I’ve always valued education and believe that learning should be an exciting and meaningful journey. One of my favourite moments as a teacher is witnessing students have their “ah-ha” moments when a challenging concept suddenly clicks, and they realize just how capable they truly are. I absolutely love working with students and creating a positive, supportive classroom environment where they feel confident to ask questions, explore new ideas, and develop a love for learning. Whether it’s breaking down complex scientific concepts or making math more approachable, my goal is to help students understand the material and enjoy learning it! Fun facts: My favourite food is sushi, and I most enjoy drinking coffee – a teacher’s best friend! Turtles are my favourite animal, and I would love them even more if they were purple! 

Hello, my name is Matthew, and I am a high school math and science teacher here at Oxford Learning. I have an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering from Western University. After working in the industry for a year, I decided to change paths and pursue a master’s degree in counselling psychology. Oxford Learning has been my second home for over two years, supporting me in this transition. I am well-versed in the high school math and physics curriculum and try to ensure my students apply core concepts rather than simply memorize questions and answers. Working with kids and young adults of all ages is extremely rewarding for me. I have previous experience coaching kids hockey and volunteering for the Kids Help Phone Crisis Text Line. Mental health is important to me, and I try to ensure I connect with my students and check in with them during their classes. In my free time, I love to swim, bike, and run. I am an avid runner and triathlete who is training for an Ironman in August. I also love video games, reading, and spending time with my two cats.

Hi! My name is Barbara, but I usually go by Barb! I am an elementary teacher here at Oxford Learning Centre. I have a Bachelor's degree in Child and Youth Care with a minor in Psychology from Toronto Metropolitan University. I am completing a Master of Teaching degree at the Ontario Institute of Studies in Education (OISE) at the University of Toronto. Throughout my undergrad, I have had various opportunities and experiences working with children and youth, whether that be with mental health work or facilitating workshops. I also work with children who have neurodiverse needs, including ADHD, and autism, to support them in achieving their full potential. Apart from my school experience, I have had some experience tutoring my peers and other family members. With that being said, I ensure that for every young person who attends a class with me, given their individualized program, the material is scaffolded to where they can effectively conceptualize the material being learned or reviewed. I also believe that building a positive rapport between the student and the teacher is critical because learning starts when a strong connection and sense of safety/comfort is established. I hope I can accomplish this with every class I have with my students :) Fun facts: I love pizza, coffee and the colour blue! Dogs are my favourite animal, and fall is my favourite season of all. My favourite holiday is Christmas, and coffee allows me to start my morning off just right! I am particularly fond of Spanish music, with Feid being my favourite artist. 

Hey everyone! My name is Sabrina, and I’m currently working toward my Bachelor of Education at York University, with an undergraduate background in Human Development. As someone who grew up with learning challenges, my passion for teaching stems from wanting to advocate for students going through similar struggles. I’ve learned so much from my own experiences, and I’m dedicated to creating an inclusive, supportive environment where all students can feel empowered.  I’ve had the privilege of working with kids for over 10 years in various settings, both inside and outside the classroom. At Oxford Learning, seeing them progress and achieve their goals is incredibly rewarding. Outside of teaching, I love spending time outdoors, especially at my cottage, and I enjoy snowmobiling, ATVing, and walking my dog. I’m also a big fan of the arts, particularly drawing and painting, and I enjoy playing sports like hockey, volleyball, and basketball.

Fun facts: My favourite food is chicken parmesan, and my go-to drink is coffee. Giraffes and elephants are my favourite animals, and I love the summer season most of all. Velika Gospa is a holiday that holds a special place in my heart, and my favourite movie is The Sound of Music.

I recently graduated from the Concurrent Education program at Brock University, with a focus on the junior/intermediate stream in physical education. I have always had a passion for working with children and youth, with experience across various settings, both inside and outside the classroom. Aside from my teaching placements, I have played rep soccer and high school volleyball, and I have coached soccer summer camps. I always knew I wanted to work with kids in some capacity, and teaching felt like the best path for me. I know what it’s like to struggle in a subject, and I want to support students to the best of my ability so they get the resources and help they need to succeed. I am a firm believer that if you set your mind to something, you can do anything! I hope to instill this confidence in every student I come across. In my off time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family as well as going on walks with my dog. Fun facts: I have a dog named Tobie, and I love coffee.

Hi! My name is Sahaar, and I teach Elementary English and Math at Oxford Learning Oakville North. I have a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Elementary Education, and I’ve always loved working with kids and helping them learn in ways that feel fun and meaningful. I especially enjoy teaching reading and literacy. I know school can sometimes feel overwhelming, so I’m all about creating a supportive, positive space where students can take their time, ask questions, and feel proud of what they achieve.

Hello! My name is Chris, and I teach a wide variety of subjects to elementary students at the Oxford Learning Centre, with a special focus on English. I graduated from Western University in 2021 with an Honours Specialization in Creative Writing, English Literature, and Language. Afterward, I attended Sheridan College to earn a certificate in Teaching English as a Second Language. I taught English to elementary students in South Korea for two years, and I am now back in Canada to attend Teachers College and hopefully start teaching full-time in school boards! Ever since I was young, I loved reading. At first, reading provided me with an avenue to scratch the imaginative itch I always had, but as I grew older, a genuine passion for literary analysis sprouted from this seed. Eventually, a love for reading became a love for writing, and now, in this stage of my life, it has developed further into a love for teaching reading and writing skills. Guiding a student through the process of effectively analyzing a passage or constructing an effective essay is truly a joy, and I hope to do it for many years to come! Fun facts: my favourite book of all time is The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson, and my favourite animal is an elephant! Some of my favourite foods are chicken shawarma, Ms. Vickie’s Honey Dijon chips, and blueberries!

Hi, I’m Madeline, and I’m a High School Science Teacher here at Oxford Learning Oakville North! I am currently in my third year of Honours Chemistry at McMaster University and am also pursuing a minor in Earth Science. I love all disciplines of science and aim to get students excited about them too. My favourite part of teaching is when students ask me the “why” behind scientific concepts, because it often makes me look at the situation in a way I haven’t before, and we end up having a really cool discussion! Watching students feel confident in subjects they find challenging is very rewarding for me. Every student learns a little differently, so finding the best strategy that works for them is important to making them feel ready to succeed. Some fun facts about me are that I love music, playing card games like Euchre with my family, and travelling across Canada. Also, I’m a big fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Blue Jays! Fun facts: Star Wars is my favourite movie, I love the colour yellow,  and my dog is my best furry friend!
