The Etobicoke West Oxford Learning Centre at the West Mall has been an outstanding team to work with throughout the past 4 years. They have given our daughter the opportunity to succeed in her learning program and the strategies to work through challenges. The Virtual Platform that has been arranged during this isolation period has been a great experience. Our daughter has adapted very well, and the exceptional instructors, Laura, Manisha, Shaini and Kamalika, have given her the same experience virtually that she had in person. She has been using services available for both the English language program and the math program and engages with the program 6 days a week. This has allowed her to have some consistency during this challenging learning time. Many thanks for all the efforts and support provided by the team.

I have two kids, in SK and Grade 2, both enrolled at Oxford Learning in the French program for several months now. Since my kids are quite young, I was curious to see how they would adjust to the online platform recently offered as an alternate mode to in-person tutoring. They have been participating in the online French program over the last few weeks, and I've been really impressed with the progress my kids have made. I've also been really impressed with the teachers' ability to ensure the kids maintain their focus and interest while also simulating the in-person learning experience. The online tutoring program has enabled my kids to continue their French education and keep up with their learning goals. I'm very pleased with the online learning experience and highly recommend it.

Due to COVID-19, my school has been providing me and my classmates with online sessions for about 6 weeks. However, when completing assignments, I feel like I don't get enough attention from my school teacher. Online Oxford Learning classes have given me the attention I need while working in a quiet, structured environment. During scheduled classes, there is one teacher for every two students. These small class sizes ensure I get as much one-on-one time as possible with my teacher. I also admire how structured the Oxford Learning program is. Teachers scan and send pages from your Oxford Learning workbooks, and have the same copies as them so they know which questions and pages I am working on. Once you complete a set of pages, teachers add the next book according to your weaknesses and strengths, so the program is completely customized to your way of learning.

My two kids, Grades 5 and 10, have been going to Oxford Learning at Bloor and West Mall for more than two years now. They are enrolled in math and language programs. It is always a pleasure to work with each team member at the centre. They try to ensure good learning skills for the students and push them to reach their academic goals. The online platform offered is helping my kids to stay engaged in learning during this challenging time and to make sure that the basics are covered. I love it when they prepare for online lessons and make sure they connect on time. The teachers help and guide them during the session, and they feel that the lesson was so helpful to them. I am happy with the online learning platform and would recommend it.

Hello, my name is Rebecca, and I'm a Grade 10 IB student at Michael Power High School. I have been attending Oxford Learning for math and French since I was in Grade 10. By attending Oxford Learning and working with various teachers, I have developed the ability to apply different techniques and strategies to all aspects of academics and gather the determination to learn and excel at something new. I have learned and ensured that I always check my work, and by applying SQ-RCRC to my work, I can learn concepts quickly. Learning math and science concepts beforehand has helped me get 99% and above in math and science in Grade 10. Oxford Learning has groomed me to be a great student. It has helped me be a keen and good learner and built a strong foundation to strive to learn more. I have learned to check my work properly, analyze test results, organize my work, follow different strategies to solve questions, and also taught me how important it is to do your work properly.

I wanted to let you know that Katie did amazing on her exam! She got a 90% on her exam, which brought her average up to 83. She is thrilled. Please thank Ljiljana for us! Well worth the cost and time commitment!

My child has been with Oxford Learning for one year. What a difference! She has progressed very well in her reading and writing. I can see a change in her! The staff is amazing, very patient, and they encourage her to push harder. The staff keeps me informed and up-to-date with her progress and provides good advice on what we can do at home to help her along. The tutors are truly invested in my daughter. I am extremely satisfied, and I highly recommend Oxford Learning. I appreciate and thank you so much for all your hard work.

We have been clients of Oxford Learning for the past five years with the Etobicoke West Mall location. Both of my children started at Oxford Learning to gain additional help with math at the Grade 7 level. My son continued on with Oxford Learning until Grade 12 due to the success and support provided by Oxford Learning, and my daughter is continuing at the Grade 11 level. The organization has been instrumental in both of my children gaining and understanding better math skills, and therefore their marks improved overall. The organization, specifically Kamalika, has ensured that communication is always open, and she has taken the time to ensure that my children have received the proper testing and proper follow-up required to maintain their success every year. I would not hesitate to recommend Oxford Learning to any parent who knows that their child would benefit from extra encouragement and practice with any of their school courses.

Dear Kamalika, Bob and Lilliana, I wanted to thank you for the good work that you have done with Jasmine and Louis. I appreciate the personalized approach to the study plan, which takes into account each child's learning style and schedule. I am grateful for the detailed analysis of the children's tests and day-to-day work, which is used to customize the study plan to address any gaps or weaknesses that are found. We have seen great improvements in the children's confidence level and math test scores, and we look forward to working with your centre over the next few years! Thanks again for your efforts!

My son has improved greatly since starting language and math at Oxford Learning. He's always been a good student, but since he started Oxford Learning, he brings home Level 4s in his reading and writing assignments from school. He seems to understand his school language assignments more and is more capable of working independently. As well, recently, he showed me a school math test where he received 90%, whereas before, his math marks were in the high 70s and low 80s. I like the extra math and language sheets that he gets for homework from Oxford Learning. He is working on reading, writing, multiplication and division almost every day. His attitude towards school has changed. My son loves coming to Oxford Learning, and he loves going to school. Thank you to the caring staff at Oxford Learning (Etobicoke West) for making a difference.

I am pleased with the improvements my daughter has made while attending Oxford Learning. She has surpassed her grade level in math and French and is now focusing her efforts to further enrich her knowledge in these subjects. Her attentive and caring tutors at Oxford Learning have helped her gain confidence and feel comfortable tackling new challenges.

We decided to enrol our boys, ages (5) and (3) in the Little Readers Program at Oxford Learning (Etobicoke). Our boys attend without any hesitation 2 days a week. The staff, led by Miss. Laura, holds a genuine interest in our boys where every opportunity is used to build on their strengths and develop any weaknesses. An initial assessment took place to gauge the working level of our boys. From this point, our boys were taught in the areas of spelling, the letters of the alphabet, phonetics, songs, circle time and even math! From time to time, our boys will come home with certificates of success, stickers, an improved literacy base and, most importantly, smiles on their faces! Thanks, Miss Laura and Oxford Learning, for your incredible work!

My daughters (6 years and 3 years) have been attending Oxford Learning since they were just over two years old. My elder daughter began in the Little Readers program and has now moved on to the core program. My younger daughter continues to attend the Little Reader's program. In both these experiences, I believe that the Little Reader's program sets an early foundation by teaching letter sounds, phonics, printing, fine motor skills and, more importantly, the discipline of doing homework. My elder daughter has moved on to the core program that involves learning to read and write sentences, comprehension and math. Based on the feedback from her school teacher (she is now in Grade 1), she is well ahead in her reading and printing abilities. She is disciplined about completing her homework, which is an important skill to develop early. I have received feedback from other parents that are facing challenges in teaching good study habits. Oxford Learning has helped to ease the transition from kindergarten to Grade 1. We have also found the teachers to be highly skilled and invested in the children’s progress. They frequently reach out by arranging parent meetings to discuss the children's progress. They are also in regular contact with my daughter’s school to get their feedback. In the past, they have immediately reacted to any recommendations from their teacher and have complemented this with their own assessments. For instance, she started to work more on her math during the summer when some weak areas were identified. As a parent, these interactions have made me more aware of my daughters’ abilities and weaknesses. What sets Oxford Learning apart from other programs is the ability to identify weaknesses and customize a remedial program based on the child’s abilities. The program excels by pushing them to do the best they can. Thank you to the entire Oxford Learning team!

I approached Oxford Learning Etobicoke West in June 2015 to help my daughter, who had just completed Grade 5 French Immersion. Our goal was to help her increase her vocabulary when speaking French and to give her an opportunity to converse in French over the summer months. She worked with a great teacher once per week. When she returned to school in September, her Grade 6 teacher remarked on the richness of her French vocabulary. My daughter was happy with the outcome, and we decided to return to Oxford Learning Etobicoke West in June 2016. I also appreciate how willing the centre was to accommodate my requests and share my daughter’s progress with me at regular intervals. I would definitely recommend Oxford Learning Etobicoke West to French Immersion students looking to enrich their learning.
