Exceptional Tutoring Programs In . . . Richmond Hill Elgin Mills

Hey there! My name is Nikita. My
journey with Oxford Learning has been
an incredible adventure spanning over 12 years. With my Honours Bachelor of Science from York University, my passion for education led me to become the proud owner of the Oxford Learning  Centre in Richmond Hill Elgin Mills.

What I love most about my work is seeing each student's unique journey unfold. Creating a warm, supportive environment where kids can build confidence and tackle challenges is what keeps me going. The joy on their faces when they achieve something new is the absolute best part of my day.

As the owner and Centre Director, I’m deeply involved in everything that happens at the centre. We’ve built an amazing team, and together, we're dedicated to providing the best personalized education possible.

Beyond the centre, I’m an active part of the  Richmond Hill community. I love joining local events and supporting youth initiatives.

I’m really excited about the future and can’t wait to continue this journey of helping students thrive and succeed. This is more than just a job to me—it’s my passion, my joy, and my calling.
 

Hello, my name is Hannah! I’m the Education Coordinator at Oxford Learning. I majored in Professional Writing at York University, and I love anything to do with writing. It is my job to make sure all of my students accomplish their academic goals in a safe and happy environment. If you have any questions, I’m the person you go to.

I was lucky enough to work at SickKids taking my love of writing to contribute to the Learning Institute. I’ve also worked at a shelter where I helped children overcome grief and trauma. I thrive when I can help kids reach their full potential. I enjoy listening to their stories, their experiences and where they want to go in life.

In my spare time I enjoy boxing, knitting, and playing with my dog Ruby! I can’t wait to get to work with you at Oxford Learning!

Hi, my name is Ryan, and I’ve been a math and science teacher here at Oxford Learning for many years! I have 15 years of tutoring experience and have worked with students from elementary school all the way to college. I have a bachelor’s degree in physics and a master’s degree in quantum information, both from the University of Waterloo.

I find it very rewarding to help students understand math and science and to deepen the understanding they gained from class. I have a real passion for these subjects, so it is great to share that with others! I love to teach by example; by doing problems together, I can ensure that the student knows all the proper steps to succeed! Outside of tutoring, I love to go for walks, read, and play video games. I’m looking forward to working with you and making this school year a blast!

Hi! My name is Leila. With a B.A. and M.A. in English Literature from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson), I bring over six years of teaching experience to Oxford Learning. I have worked with students from kindergarten through high school and taught English Literature at the university level.

I love working with students to help them find a perspective that allows them to build confidence and work hard to achieve their goals. 

I approach teaching and learning with flexibility. What might work for one student may not work for another, and what may seem impossible for you to learn may just need a different approach. It is important to keep an open mind and to ask clear questions, both as a teacher and a learner.

Fun Fact: I am passionate about the use of video games as a narrative form and write articles exploring their uses in higher education. 

Students can expect an energetic session with lots of questions from me, and I expect the same from the students, too.

Hi! I'm Abdullah, a math and science educator with a BSc (Honours) in chemistry with many years of experience working with students from primary school through high school. I specialize in teaching Grade 9–12 math, physics, chemistry, and biology, as well as foundational math and science for younger students.

I believe teaching is a two-way street—every lesson is a chance for both the student and the teacher to learn something new. My goal is to make complex topics more relatable by connecting them to real-world examples and my own learning experiences. I’ve found that this approach not only helps students grasp challenging concepts but also sparks genuine interest in the subject.

You can expect a supportive, down-to-earth, and energetic teacher who’s just as invested in your growth as you are.

When I’m not teaching, you’ll probably find me getting lost in a good fantasy or mystery novel.

Salut, my name is Moise; I have a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering from Carleton University in Ottawa, which is where my passion for teaching began. I attended French school (école française) for most of my life and have a DELF Diploma C1; my parents and siblings are also francophone, so I grew up speaking it at home. I am very excited to continue my teaching journey at Oxford Learning. I enjoy teaching students at Oxford Learning because I get to work with them personally and help them improve in the areas where they might be struggling. I am very proud of my student’s success and constantly strive to create an environment where they feel comfortable expressing themselves and taking risks.  

Hi! My name is Carikaalan, and I am a junior and high school math and science teacher. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Health Science and Kinesiology at York University. Furthermore, I have many years of experience teaching math and science to K-12 students, and my passion for teaching is rooted in my desire to ensure that all students maximize their learning by utilizing the tools we provide in class. My teaching style is based on an individualized approach, as I consider the strengths and weaknesses of all students to help tailor the teaching strategies to the comfort level of my students.

A fun fact about me is that I love teaching students because there is always a learning opportunity for teachers. My students can expect my sessions to be structured with opportunities to ask questions, engage critically with the material, and ultimately master their learning at the end.

Hi, I'm Meryem! I'm pursuing an English major with a history minor through the concurrent education program at York University. This pathway is preparing me to become an Ontario Certified Teacher, 

I have been tutoring and teaching for several years, working with students from ages 3 to 18. My strengths are teaching English through elementary to high school as well as elementary math.

What inspires me to work with students, become an educator, and support their growth is the opportunity to make a lasting impact on their lives. I find it incredibly rewarding to see students gain confidence, discover their passions, and overcome challenges. For me, education is about more than just teaching; it's about empowering students with curiosity and helping each student realize their potential. Knowing that my guidance can shape someone's future gives me a strong sense of purpose and motivation. 

My teaching philosophy is that no two students are the same, and I believe that every student has the ability to learn, grow, and succeed when given the right support and environment.

A fun fact about me is that I love reading fantasy books and baking in my personal time. I believe there is great importance in finding things you enjoy doing! 

Students can expect me to be supportive, respectful, fun, and committed to their success. I will create a safe and inclusive environment where everyone feels heard and valued. I will be prepared, patient, and approachable, always encouraging questions and curiosity. I will do my best work to ensure all students reach their full potential in both academic success and in their everyday life. 

My passion for being an educator goes beyond academics, but to work as a team to create a wonderful and fun experience for all students! 

Hi! I’m Sania and I teach French, English and math to students of all ages here at Oxford Learning. I am also educated in Robotics and Coding!

I have spoken French since I was five years old growing up in France. When I came to Canada, I went to a full French Montessori school and attended AP French throughout high school! I majored in Psychology at York University, and am looking to pursue a career as a professor in the future.

I hope to create a fun and educational experience for every student who works with me. At my table, I make sure to personalize every lesson to each student to optimize their understanding. I enjoy working at Oxford Learning because of the wonderful students who come in every day. I am looking forward to working together to learn and grow into independent learners! 

Some of my favourite things include reading, video games and drawing. My favourite books are The Hunger Games series.
