Now that November progress reports are being sent home with Halton students, many Halton parents are taking a closer look at how their children are doing this school year. For some, these reports can be a wake-up call— showing areas where students are approaching expectations or progressing toward grade level in reading, writing, or math.
The good news? There’s still plenty of time to make meaningful progress before February mid-term report cards.
Many students are still catching up in key areas that impact confidence and classroom success:
Reading & Writing: Phonics, comprehension, and written expression.
Math Skills: Number sense, problem-solving, and math fluency.
Organization & Study Habits: Focus, planning, and time management.
Interrupted Learning: Missed class time and uneven academic foundations.
These challenges often show up on progress reports as notes about effort, attention, or skill development— valuable clues about where support is needed most.
We turn report card feedback into an action plan for improvement that builds skills, confidence, and motivation before the next reporting period.
Here’s how:
Personalized Assessments: Identify each child’s learning profile and areas of need.
Customized Programs: Tailored lessons in reading, writing, and math to close gaps step-by-step in a supportive environment.
Beyond Academics: We strengthen focus, organization, and study habits.
Progress Tracking: Parents see clear, sustainable growth.
When students receive the right support, their classroom experience improves dramatically. They feel more confident, more capable, and more engaged in their learning. By addressing gaps early, families can turn November’s feedback into real progress by the time mid-term report cards are sent home in February.

The staff @ the 2180 Mountain Grove Ave Burlington location have been a positive influence on our Grade 11 son and lifted both academic confidence and grades!
My daughter has been receiving tutoring at the Burlington North location for 2 years. When we joined we were very happy with the assessment, it was thorough, aligned with others we had received and gave me insight into what I should be looking for and how to actually interpret the report cards better. At Oxford my daughter has improved in so many areas, she was able to become more confident in her work and additionally her language and vocabulary have improved immensely. All of the teachers we have worked with have been friendly and helpful and can help keep her on track even when frustrated. The program offered us help in so many areas academically but I was surprised there was support on some of her other organizational struggles too. All in all the support she received at Oxford has set her up for success and we will continue to receive support as she grows.
My son has been receiving tutoring with Oxford Learning Burlington north for over a year. My child was struggling academically and couldn't focus, which made school very difficult. After much research, we decided to enrol him at Oxford Learning and have been amazed by his progress. His grades have improved as well as his self-confidence, and now he is eager to learn. The staff at Oxford Learning are amazing. They are friendly, caring, encouraging and understanding. The staff are very accommodating and always have the time to answer his questions, and they keep me informed of his progress. I highly recommend this center to anyone struggling academically... you will not be disappointed.
I turned to Oxford during a time I was really struggling to understand the curriculum. Burlington Oxford offered me something my school teacher wasn't able to.....zoned in focused teaching in the areas specific to where I was struggling. The staff at Burlington are incredibly patient. I never felt there was a wrong question to ask and never feared asking the same question twice. They worked with me on my academic challenges but also boosted my confidence. I am proudly a straight A student and I've learned the tools I need to succeed. I highly recommend Burlington Oxford to my peers or anyone who needs that additional support during their challenging times. Fees are affordable and scheduling was very accommodating. Great nurturing place to be.
To the Amazing Oxford Learning Burlington Team, I wanted to share the happy news that my son graduated from Grade 12 as an Ontario Scholar. It was a moment of pride, joy, and euphoria. Your help and support was so instrumental in his success. He could not have done this without you. We will always be grateful for your guidance and encouragement. Thank you for everything! Best, Usha
Highly recommend Oxford Learning and wish we had joined much earlier. 14% increase in science and 13% increase in math from Grades 9 to 10. Not only did grades improve, but also a huge increase in self-confidence and effort. My child actually asked to go additional times before tests/exams, etc. and kept herself on track for the first time. Home life was much less stressful, taking parents out of trying to help with schoolwork. She enjoyed all the tutors and has finally seen the value in getting extra help when needed! Thank you very much for all the important lessons she has learned!
My son has been going to Oxford Learning for years. They have helped him with various subjects and helped him improve and maintain his grades at school. We were especially happy with how the centre transitioned him from in-person to virtual during Covid. He was able to be very successful. We love all the teachers and The centre directors. They often update us on our child’s progress and are willing to accommodate his program based on his needs.
My son absolutely appreciates all the help, learning, and preparation he gets from Oxford Learning for the next academic school year. He started with a preschool summer school program, is now in grade 10, and continues to get tutoring to keep up academic grades. The teachers at Oxford Learning Burlington are professional, caring, and attentive to my child's educational needs. As a parent, I always believe kids need extra help to keep their confidence high in school subjects. Thank you, Anne-Marie & staff, for being on this journey with us. I definitely recommend this centre to family & friends.
We are incredibly happy with the services Oxford Learning provides. They are patient and so loving to our 6-year-old boy. We are working with the two French teachers there to get him ready for Grade One, and they are amazing. I highly recommend them.
I highly recommend the tutors from Oxford Learning. My son struggled with French and math, but with the help of his tutors, he has shown tremendous improvement. The tutors are very patient and provide clear explanations, helping my son understand difficult concepts. They will provide additional practice materials and helpful tips. My son feels comfortable asking questions and enjoys his sessions with the tutor. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with the tutoring services of Oxford Learning Burlington. I highly recommend this service to any student in need of extra support and confidence.
Both my granddaughters attended Oxford Learning Mountainside facility between Grades 9 and grade 12. Their experience was/is very positive. The following feedback is directly from them: "Oxford Learning Mountainside has nice, patient and supportive tutors. There is a good and quiet working environment. They keep students focused on the task. When we leave, we understand the subject matter. We are even ahead. Our grades drastically improved. Oxford Learning Mountainside contributed immensely to our success". Jocelyne
Oxford Learning in Burlington North has been just a wonderful experience for my kids. They not only enjoy going there but have improved leaps and bounds in their learning. The staff is friendly and very helpful.
We are so pleased with the progress our son made here; he blossomed with extra help. Thank you! He was accepted by the college of his choice and has a bright future! We are so pleased and fully recommend you to any child struggling. There is help here!
I wanted you guys to know that Jack did great on his ISP and his final exam for Data! He went from failing the course to passing it and is able to graduate grade 12! I couldn’t be more thankful to you guys, and especially his teacher, Nima, for being so flexible and helping him in so many ways. I have another son who is going into grade 11 and is also having some challenges in math, so we plan on enrolling him in for some help next year. Nima has a great way with the kids and makes them feel very comfortable and not ‘dumb’ about struggling with their school work. That is a gift! Thank you again to your entire staff, I am happy to refer anyone to your centre! -Kelly
"I like to come to Oxford Learning because it helps me with math, language and homework. My teachers are really helpful and fun. They are always understanding and so kind. I have improved in a lot of different subjects by coming to Oxford Learning. Now I feel a lot better about doing tests because my teachers help me understand my work and how to do it the right way. I really enjoy it here."
"I really enjoy going to Oxford Learning. I have made lots of friends here and had some of my favourite teachers. Through my time at Oxford Learning I have learned so much. I don't have a lot of trouble with math and language anymore. The last thing I love about going to Oxford Learning is that it keeps me caught up in school. Every class I get smarter and smarter. I am very happy that I came to Oxford Learning!"
I was absolutely thrilled with the results my son achieved at his Oxford Learning program. When he went for his assessment at the end of Grade 5 he was assessed at a Grade 1 French level. With the help of his amazing Oxford Learning teacher, he has completely caught up to his classmates! Oxford Learning gave him the small group teaching model he so desperately needed, and has boosted not only his marks but his confidence as well. Thank you all so very much! -Peggy
"Our experience with Oxford Learning Burlington has been very positive and rewarding! Our son, Nicholas has benefitted 100% by attending classes every week. Oxford Learning has given Nicholas the ability and confidence to work independently with more assurance of himself, and we owe that to the Burlington team. He always looks forward to his classes, the teachers are very approachable and ALWAYS willing to help and Anne-Marie and Meaghan go out of their way to insure that Nicholas (and all of the students) get the best program for their needs and always get a boost of confidence every time they come in for a class. Thank you so much, Oxford Learning Burlington for a wonderful year! Sincerely, Monika
We have been a part of the Oxford Learning family for the past 11 years. The coordinator, Anne-Marie Bushnell, is very accommodating with any requests. Oxford Learning is a very professional organization that takes its students seriously and ensures that the teachers assigned to the students are very qualified and knowledgeable.
I started getting help more than halfway through the semester. I was doing ok in math, but it was a lot of work, and I was always feeling worried. I started at Oxford Learning and felt so much better right away. The parts of math that I thought were really difficult were explained so simply that they are actually way easier than I thought. I'm really glad I started.
The Burlington North Oxford Learning team has been invaluable and incredibly supportive of my son's high school educational needs over the past two years. We reached out to Oxford Learning when it became apparent he was struggling with the tough Grade 11 functions curriculum. We have continued to leverage this encouraging team throughout his last two years of math and physics. They have continued to provide educational assistance while helping set him up for success in the longer term post-secondary. In addition, they have been incredibly accommodating when juggling the ever-changing extracurricular activities. If your high schooler is struggling to process information and keep up, don't hesitate to reach out to the Oxford Learning team for support.
