Shainoor

Centre Director, Owner

Growing up, my passion for helping others naturally steered me toward the field of education. While my path took a detour as I dedicated my time to raising my four children, once they were all in school full-time, I found myself reflecting on my professional aspirations.

It was at this juncture that I discovered Oxford Learning, and my journey with them began. I am genuinely thrilled by the opportunity to witness children learn and grow, while also playing a part in building their self-esteem and confidence.

I am fortunate to be part of a wonderful team of teachers who share my enthusiasm for introducing Oxford Learning to families and are equally committed to helping each child achieve their maximum potential.

When I am not at Oxford Learning, you can be assured I am back to being a mom and running from one activity to the next!

Safia Ali

Education Coordinator and Teacher

Hello! My name is Safia, and I’m the Education Coordinator at Oxford Learning Calgary Acadia. I hold a Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Calgary, where I also worked as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, guiding students through complex math and science concepts. I’m passionate about helping students overcome challenges and discover their potential.

I also dedicate time to volunteering with a non-profit organization, where I assist with administrative tasks to help organize donation processes for women and children in need.

In addition to my love for teaching, I enjoy painting, sketching, and indulging in my favourite foods—especially pizza and brownies! I believe that learning should be fun and engaging, and I’m excited to work with students and their families to make a difference in their academic journeys. I look forward to helping children achieve their goals and build confidence at Oxford Learning!

Charlie Provencher

Teacher/French Teacher

Hi! My name is Charlie, and I’m one of the teachers at Oxford Learning Calgary Acadia. I’m currently working on my degree in Chemistry at the University of Calgary. As a student myself, I understand how challenging it can be to balance school, activities, and personal time, so I aim to create a supportive and understanding space for the students. 

Outside of teaching, I participate in many healthcare-focused volunteer programs. Some of my goals in these programs are helping to conduct medical and dental clinics in under-resourced communities, creating welcoming environments in healthcare settings, and learning important clinical skills. 

In my free time, I love to read, spend time with my friends and family, and dance! I’ve always loved teaching and am looking forward to watching students grow and reach their learning goals. I’m excited to work with all the students at Oxford Learning! 

Miriam Hoff

Teacher/French Teacher

Hi! I’m Miriam, one of the teachers here at Oxford Learning Calgary Acadia. This fall, I’ll be starting a degree in Natural Sciences at the University of Calgary.

I’ve always known that I want to work with children and youth. In my free time, I volunteer with a youth organization where I help plan events and activities across Calgary. This experience has given me valuable insight into the challenges young people face and has deepened my commitment to creating supportive spaces for them.

Whether I’m coaching a volleyball team or serving as a summer camp counselor, I’ve always loved teaching and helping others grow. Through my volunteer work, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with students in schools across the city, and I truly enjoy learning from and about them. 

When I’m not teaching or volunteering, I enjoy playing sports like volleyball and dancing. I also love playing piano and diving into a good book when I have the chance. I’m so excited to be part of our students’ journeys—to watch them challenge themselves and grow. I’m thrilled to be part of this journey and can’t wait to see what lies ahead!

Khushi Bhatt

Math/Science Teacher

Hi! I’m Khushi, one of the teachers here at Oxford Learning Calgary Acadia. I teach math and science, and I’m close to completing my degree in Computer Science at the University of Lethbridge. I understand how tough school can be—especially when you feel stuck. I used to struggle with math myself until a tutor helped me turn things around. That experience completely changed my academic journey, and I aim to offer the same kind of supportive, judgment-free space where students can build confidence and truly thrive.

Outside of Oxford Learning, I create online content focused on financial literacy and social awareness. My goal is to simplify complex ideas and provide tools and resources for those feeling overwhelmed by their financial situation or societal pressures. Through this work, I’ve gained valuable insight into the struggles many people face—and it’s helped me grow in empathy and deepen my commitment to creating safe, empowering spaces.

In my free time, I love swimming, reading, dancing, and pencil-sketching. What I enjoy most about teaching is watching students grow into themselves—especially when they begin to believe in their abilities. I truly believe that confidence is the foundation for success in all areas of life. I’m so excited to be part of the amazing learning journeys here at Oxford Learning and can’t wait to see where our students go next!
