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.
In addition to this new Appleby-Dundas location, Caitlin has been the Co-Owner and Centre Director of Oxford Learning Oakville North for the last 8 years. 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 Areej, and I’m an elementary teacher at Oxford Learning Appleby-Dundas.
I recently graduated from McMaster University with a major in Psychology and Human Behaviour. Teaching has always been a passion of mine—I love helping students not only succeed academically, but also develop the confidence and skills they need to thrive. One of my favourite parts of teaching is watching students realize that learning can be exciting and fun when they have the right tools and support. I strive to create a positive, encouraging environment that supports each student’s unique learning journey.
Outside of the classroom, I enjoy reading, going to the gym, listening to music, and trying new foods!

Hello!
My name is Mohid and I’m a math tutor at Oxford Learning Appleby-Dundas.
I'm currently pursuing a computer science degree with a minor in mathematics, and plan to pursue a degree in pure maths after completing my undergraduate in computer science.
For most of my life, I never considered myself that great at math, and at one point even believed I wasn’t good at it at all. That was until I met my 12th grade calculus teacher; it was thanks to him that I gained a deep appreciation for all types of math and started to enjoy learning it. It was clear how much my teacher loved his job and pushing kids to succeed, and it was because of this that I was able to find something I was passionate about.
From there, I took as many math courses as I could in university and decided that I was going to pursue a math degree after completing computer science. I’ve struggled a lot throughout my education. I know how difficult some concepts can be to grasp, but it was because of the support that I had that I’m able to now enjoy my learning. I became a tutor because I want to help students feel the same way about their education, inspire them to find something they can be passionate about, and help show them that they’re capable of pursuing those goals.
Fun facts about me: I enjoy working out, my favourite sport is hockey, and I have a cat named Mano.

Hi!
My name is Zainab and I’m a high school tutor here at Oxford Learning Burlington Appleby-Dundas!
I’m currently studying Biomedical Engineering at McMaster University, which has given me a strong foundation in both analytical thinking and problem-solving. I've always enjoyed teaching, and I've had the opportunity to work with students in subjects like robotics, math, and physics over the past year. Helping students build confidence in themselves is one of the most rewarding parts of teaching for me. I love being able to support students through challenges and seeing that moment when a tough concept finally clicks. My goal is to create a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel confident asking questions and aren’t afraid to make mistakes along the way.
Fun facts: I enjoy reading, trying new foods, spending time with friends and family, and travelling! Some of my favourite places I’ve been to are Turkey, Italy and Pakistan (which is where I’m from!) I also love a good iced coffee; my favourite season is fall.

Oxford Learning Center in West Oakville (now opening a location in Burlington) has been an invaluable part of my children's education. My youngest son attended from Grade 1 through Grade 12—at his own request. Every August, I’d ask if he wanted to continue, and every year, his answer was a resounding “yes.” He told me that Oxford gave him confidence in class, especially in math, because he already understood the material before it was taught at school. Today, he is thriving as a second-year Commerce student at Queen’s University. Each child is different, but I firmly believe that Oxford played a role in building my son’s academic success and self-confidence. My two older sons also attended Oxford during high school. One is now a lawyer, and the other is excelling in corporate sales. Beyond academics, the administrative staff at Oxford Learning Center in West Oakville are incredibly kind, caring, and a pleasure to work with. They truly have the students’ best interests at heart. I highly recommend Oxford Learning Center to any parent looking to support their child’s education and confidence.Pouneh R.★★★★★
I wanted to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to this amazing learning facility. I had my son and daughter both go through the Oxford Learning program (Nottinghill, Oakville) during their high school years. My kids are worlds apart. Two extremes. I am sure many of you can relate. My son, disliked school and could barely get a passing grade. How did Oxford Learning help? Gave him the confidence to be able to understand the material. They took the time to understand how he learns and his personality. The match was made with the right tutor and that is where the magic happens. His experience was priceless. He graduated high school and went on to college and has been thriving. My daughter, on the other hand, is an overachiever. She is on the other spectrum, where she loves to learn but wants to maintain her high average to keep all doors open. She was matched with a tutor who majored in the sciences. She used the time to ask hard questions and truly understand the material. This took a different approach, and Caitlin’s team successfully met the challenge. She is graduating in a few months with a few university options, and OxfordLearning is helping with the decision process as well. Both stories are so important because no two kids are the same. Caitlin has created an environment that allows kids to achieve, grow, and build confidence. The model works, but the people make it a success. I am so thrilled that Caitlin is now opening her second location on Appleby and Dundas. Congratulations!Ella W.★★★★★
My daughter had been an Oxford Learning student for many years. We were pleased that we decided to keep her in the Oxford Learning Centre for most of her elementary and high school. The staff at Oxford Learning were always very kind and welcoming, creating a comfortable environment for learning. They helped her make a strong foundation for her English skills and a deeper understanding of the material than she had before. Overall, they are lovely, knowledgeable and highly enthusiastic people, and I would highly recommend anyone who has kids in elementary or high school.Uzma H.★★★★★
Both of my children have attended the Oakville North Oxford Learning location over the last 5 years, and we have had a truly wonderful experience. Although we cannot speak to this Burlington location, the owners of this new Burlington centre are the same franchisees who own the Oxford Learning centre that my child attends, and I have no doubt that this Appleby-Dundas location will be able to provide a comparably phenomenal service. The teachers are thoughtful, passionate about teaching, and truly care about their students. The management team in Oakville North is EXCELLENT, and it is apparent every day how seriously they take their roles and how much they love their roles too! The staff are here for the kids, first and foremost, and you can feel it as soon as you walk into the centre. I am excited for the families who decide to enrol in the Burlington Appleby-Dundas location!! It will be one of the best things you do for your kids.Ashley Q.★★★★★
Caitlin and her Oxford Learning team were excellent. The overall Oxford Learning program and the Oakville team helped our children be successful in high school. They gave them the tools to be successful and continue to university.Adrian S.★★★★★
