Ms. Shaheen

Director/Co-owner

Hi! My name is Ms. Shaheen, and I am the Director and Co-owner of Oxford Learning Centre Surrey and Coquitalm. I have long believed that all children have the potential to learn if given the opportunity and a positive learning environment. As a result, I chose Oxford Learning as our family business. I am excited to see kids learn new things and build confidence and self-esteem and I thrive on their accomplishments. Everyday is an exciting challenge and I enjoy meeting and getting to know new families! I believe a good academic foundation is what helps kids become successful adults and I am happy to help contribute to children’s life long learning. I believe Oxford Learning is a family environment, where our teachers all have a vested interest in your children’s successes! I hope to help as many kids in our community reach their potential!

Ms. Christine

Teacher

Hi, I am Ms. Christine! I was born and raised in White Rock. I have 11 years of experience working with children aged newborn to Grade 11. I am currently completing my Special Education Teacher’s Assistant Certificate as of winter 2013. I have always been passionate about working with kids, and I enjoy it so much. They’re so positive and full of energy and to see the light bulb come on and see them excel motivates me to want to work even harder myself. I make certain that each child receives individualized attention, praise and encouragement, ensuring that he/she remains motivated and does not become frustrated and quit. Children are our future so what we teach them, tell them, and what they see matters a whole lot! I strive to make a positive impact on each student I work with and I am so fortunate to have the opportunity to be a teacher at Oxford Learning Centre. In my spare time I enjoy being outdoors doing anything active, from snowboarding to hiking as well as shopping! I love animals too; I have always had pets in my household. My goals for the future are, to continue working with students, travel the world, and build and work in schools abroad.

Ms. Jacee

Teacher

Hi! My name is Jacee and I have been teaching and working with youth of all ages for the past 10 years. I have my Bachelors of Education and my Bachelors of Arts with a major in history from the University of British Columbia. In 2003, I travelled to Harbin, China where I taught ESL to youth ages 2-19. I have also spent 4 months volunteering as a teacher in a primary school in rural Kenya where I taught English and Math. I began working with Oxford Learning in 2008 and really enjoy working with all ages and levels of learners, but have a specific passion for teaching upper level English literature and social studies. Oxford Learning allows me to continue to build my skills as a teacher in a warm, fun learning space. Education and teaching play a very important role in my life and I feel fortune to be able to spend my time teaching and learning with a variety of different young people everyday.

Ms. Esther

Little Readers Teacher

My name is Esther and it has been my distinct pleasure to take over the morning sessions of the Little Readers program at Oxford Learning. I have an extensive background in child development, dealing with all learning capacities and various challenges. I am going into my 8th year working with terminally ill children and their siblings at Canuck Place Children's Hospice. I have the honour of spending time with these children, as well as getting to know their families in the face of extreme adversity. As well as being trained in adolescent development, my experiences at Canuck Place have taught me that with perseverance and encouragement, any child can do anything they put their mind to. Sometimes they just need a little guidance. First and foremost I am a mother and I have enjoyed raising three quirky, caring, fun loving, and imaginative children. I have learned over the years that children are best taught with patience, persistence, and a lot of fun thrown in to show their true personalities. I look forward to helping your children learn and grow!

Bonjour! My name is Lauren Leclair and I am a French teacher here at the Oxford Learning Centre.

I have a passion for working with kids of all ages and find it especially rewarding to watch them as they learn. I am bilingual in both French and English. Je suis passionée par le français et je prends plaisir en étant capable de le partager avec les autres. I am always eager to work with our Oxford Learning kids and help them to love the French Language!

Hello everyone! My name is Mrs. Krystin and I am a graduate of Simon Fraser University. I have my degree in English with an education focus. My passion for the arts was ignited while studying at SFU. I love literature in all forms and from a vast range of different authors. Plays and poetry are my favourite forms of literature. I enjoy acting, drawing, singing, playing guitar, and writing poetry in my spare time. I love Disney movies, which makes it a lot easier for me to relate to the children. My time at Oxford Learning is usually spent making program changes, talking with students, teaching, and meeting with parents. I am the Education Coordinator at this centre. What does being a coordinator entail? I can help you with any questions or concerns you may have about registration, program changes, scheduling, and homework books. My job is to make sure that you and your children enjoy a positive experience every time you come to Oxford Learning. I look forward to working with you and your children to make their dreams come true!

Hi! I am Ms. Carolyn. I moved to the Langley area 2.5 years ago from Virginia, U.S.A. I have a strong background in math and sciences. In May 2007, I graduated magna cum laude from Virginia Tech with a Bachelors of Science degree in Biological Systems Engineering. During my college career, I tutored students in a variety courses including: chemistry, calculus, and statistics. In May 2010, I graduated with a Masters of Science degree in Biological Systems Engineering from Virginia Tech. After graduating, I helped my friend start an organic fruit farm in Blacksburg, Virginia. I love helping the kids at Oxford Learning learn that Math and Science are not hard when the right strategies to learn are in play! In my spare time, I enjoy a variety of activities like playing ultimate Frisbee, golfing, and hiking with my dog Honee Doo.

Hi, my name is Miss Aman, and I am a head teacher here at Oxford Learning South Surrey. I’ve always loved school and learning new things, and so helping students gain confidence in their learning, making learning meaningful, fun, and positive are some of the rewards of working at Oxford Learning. I get to see everyday how a positive and fun learning environment helps students achieve their highest potential and develops confidence. A little bit about me: I graduated with my Bachelors Degree from UBC, and then went on to complete a certificate program at BCIT. I now have my Bachelor of Education and I teach in the Surrey school district. I have actively volunteered in the community for many years. I love to read, paint, and draw.

My name is Raj Dhillon and I just completed my Bachelor of Education in Secondary Social Studies at UBC in August of this year. Passionate about history and politics from a young age, I decided to pursue a Major in History during my undergraduate studies at Kwantlen. Through my volunteer work at Tamanawis Secondary, I also discovered that I really enjoyed working with children and youth, and making a difference in their lives. As such, I decided to enter the profession of teaching. Being new to the field, I would like to gain more experience working with children of all ages in a teaching setting and this is one reason why I wanted to join the Oxford Learning team. Aside from this, Oxford Learning's philosophy of active learning and enhancing students' self-esteem (and thus their ability to work independently), really appeals to me. Having faced the challenge of teaching diverse classrooms during my practicum, I truly believe in the merit and impact of this philosophy and I'm excited to be a part of it!
