Hi, my name is Jason, and I am the Centre Director at Oxford Learning Forest Hill. I, too, was once a student at Oxford Learning!
What we have here at Oxford Learning differs from anything you typically see in after-school programs. Although learning your curriculum subjects is important, developing learning skills and habits will define each student’s future. Our approach is to teach students how to learn in more effective ways – presently and for the rest of their lives.
My role at the centre is to strive to provide an exceptional program for all of our families. We want to get to know each and every child who completes an assessment with us and learn what academics to support with reading, writing, Math, French or school support, and then also how to work with each child to strengthen habits like active reading, attention, organization, and taking risks or asking questions.
Coming from a family of teachers, I have always believed education is the greatest tool to define who you want to be. You need to make sense of your world and your place within it. Our mission is to help children achieve their highest potential, and they can do so by acquiring the habits that have always been within their reach.

My name is Cristiana, and I am a U of T student studying philosophy. I have been working at Oxford Learning since early 2022 and am loving it so far!
My favourite thing about Oxford Learning is the flexible and welcoming learning environment and that we encourage creativity in our students.
I have been babysitting since before high school, and also have two younger siblings - so I have lots of experience with keeping kids on track (while also having fun)! Additionally, I worked as an au pair in Milan, Italy, from 2017-2018 and helped my host family improve their English skills.
In my spare time, I like to play guitar, sing, and explore different parts of Toronto. I am also very interested in fashion and home design, so I love to browse Pinterest and get inspiration!

Hi, I’m Olivia, a math and science tutor at Oxford Learning! I have a BSc in Physics from Queen’s University, and I’ve done research in both medical physics and quantum computing. I have a passion for education and co-authored a university-level physics textbook with one of my professors.
I want to get students excited about science and equip them with the confidence and skills they need to excel in mathematics and tackle challenging topics. I love the fun and dynamic atmosphere at Oxford Learning, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with a group of such kind and supportive educators and students.
In my free time, I love to be creative! You can often find me working on a new hobby, from pottery to sewing to designing dollhouses. Feel free to ask me about my projects, I usually have one on the go!

Hello, my name is Jeffrey, and I am studying Engineering Science at U of T. I have always been an avid learner and love to share insights of what I have gained from my studies. I have always excelled at academics but also understood the struggles in learning concepts. I constantly try my best to teach in a way that fits my students. Outside of Oxford Learning, I love to spend time playing the piano and finding time to spend with my family.

Omid
French Teacher

My name is Omid, and I consider myself a dedicated and passionate educator. My journey in the field of education has been quite fulfilling. I hold degrees in French Literature from the Université De Québec, Education from OISE, and Engineering Physics from York University. These fields of study have equipped me with a comprehensive knowledge base that I bring to my teaching. Additionally, I hold FSL (French as a Second Language) certifications from TCDSB and have undergone IB (International Baccalaureate) Teacher Training from CASIE.
Throughout my years in education, I have strived to positively impact my students' lives. One of the highlights of my career was at the Toronto French School, where I combined my love for mathematics and languages by teaching IB Mathematics in French. This experience allowed me to bridge two of my passions and create a unique learning environment.
What truly sets me apart as an educator is my unwavering passion for teaching and my ability to inspire students. I firmly believe in creating a dynamic and interactive learning environment that encourages curiosity and critical thinking. I am dedicated to helping my students not only acquire knowledge but also develop essential skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom.
My commitment to education extends beyond the school setting. I am proud to be involved in volunteer work at Princess Margaret Hospital, where I contribute to my community and promote holistic development. This commitment to community service is a reflection of my belief in the importance of giving back and making a positive difference in the lives of others.

Hi! I’m Alyssa, and I’m a Political Science major studying at York University. Since I was little, I’ve always wanted to be a teacher and work with kids. I’ve always found it rewarding to watch kids piece together puzzles with guidance and watch them learn. While my dreams have changed over the years, my passions have not, and I am so glad I can fulfill my teaching dreams through Oxford Learning!
