My enthusiasm and passion for learning will certainly help students gain interest in the French language.

Hello, my name is Kirill Matveev and I am currently earning a Specialized Honors undergraduate degree in Accounting at York University. My experience with students includes tutoring children from grades 1 to 4 in reading, writing, and math. Through tutoring, I learned to cater my teaching based on the specific needs of my students. I’ve also volunteered in grade 9 and 10 geography, math and business classes, helping students understand concepts, marking tests and working on time management skills. I recently spent 6 months abroad in Stockholm (Sweden) learning about international business practices and theories. I also love soccer! Through my schooling and travels, I have gained a lot of personal experience that I plan on incorporating into my teachings at Oxford Learning!

These opportunities have allowed me to share my love for working with children, and ultimately strengthen my passion for teaching.
