Education Program
Oxford Learning® is a forerunner in supplemental education, leading the way to more effective learning.
Our learning Principles
We don’t just tutor academic skills; we develop new cognitive skills in our students. Our programs make changes in the way students work, think, and learn for the rest of their lives. Our programs are an investment in each student’s future and most importantly, they work!
We develop new cognitive skills in our students. We do not just tutor academic skills. Our programs make changes in the way students work, not only for the present year, but for the rest of their lives. Our programs are an investment in each student’s future and most importantly, they work!
Our Process
The Oxford Learning® team has developed a learning platform unique to Canada, that focuses on teaching students to learn how to learn, using three unique approaches:
UNIQUE ASSESSMENT
Oxford Learning®’s testing protocol is like no other, and is well respected within the testing community. Combining sub-tests in a unique manner and presenting them to students in a specialized and dynamic manner allows assessors to get in-depth analyses of each student’s unique learning capabilities.
PROPRIETARY CURRICULUM
Forget off-the-shelf workbooks or classroom textbooks, Oxford Learning®’s proprietary curriculum is developed in-house by our team of education experts. Focusing on one concept or skill per book, and presenting those concepts in a particular sequence unique to each student—and always at the right pace—is how we build individualized programs.
INTERACTIVE COACHING
Unlike in a classroom where the teacher teaches and the students listen, in an Oxford Learning® classroom, the format is much more interactive. Balancing one-on-one instruction with self-directed work, teachers encourage students to take risks and coach students as they learn that making mistakes isn’t an endpoint, but merely part of the journey, removing frustrations and helping students discover inner motivation to overcome hurdles.
Making a Difference
OUR STUDENTS
As parents and as educators, we know too well how developing strong learning skills is not only crucial for a child’s self-esteem, but also for his or her long-term success in academics, and ultimately, in life.
Cognitive Development sets Oxford Learning® apart from other tutoring and supplemental education agencies, giving us a competitive advantage not found anywhere else. By utilizing a cognitive approach to learning in all our programs, our students are equipped with lifelong learning skills that will help them achieve higher marks in all subjects and successes outside of the classroom as well.
INSPIRING YOUNG MINDS

Your knowledge in the education industry (through comprehensive training) will inspire young minds, help build confidence, and provide higher self-esteem to students. Utilizing research-based and time-tested methods and programs, students at your centre will learn how to learn and be offered solutions to academic roadblocks that can’t be found anywhere else. With academic success and personal confidence, happy parents will refer other parents to you so that they too can experience the school-and life-changing effects of Oxford Learning®.

PARENTS
Parents are an integral part of helping children succeed academically, and they are also valued members of the Oxford Learning® family. They are their child’s biggest supporters, and the encouragement they show their children on a daily basis is seen in the ways their children behave in centre. Happy parents lead to happy referrals, which leads to more happy parents enrolling their children at Oxford Learning®—it’s a win-win situation for all of us!
THE OXFORD LEARNING WORLD OF EDUCATION
Unlike the traditional method of teaching, Oxford Learning® offers supplemental education that’s tailored to your child’s skills.
Our programs, curriculum, and staff invest in your child by engaging in three factors that drive success and help your child become the best version of their academic selves:
Motivation
We help our students develop greater self-esteem, which is one of the key components to building high motivation. We believe in intrinsic growth and motivation. We don’t believe in bribing students to try harder, and we don’t offer gifts for success. Our students learn how to learn, thereby developing greater levels of self-esteem and confidence. Success—not rewards—creates motivation! Our students understand how the work they are doing will benefit them at school. This creates motivated students who want to come to Oxford Learning®. As well, motivated students have the confidence to take risks. Risk taking is a key component to learning success.
Active Minds
We help our students develop an active mind. This is the second key component to building high motivation. Our unique teaching model of reflecting, verbalizing, and connecting new materials to previously learned information helps build each student’s active mind. Students with active minds are able to verbally identify the importance of academic tasks, and are able to transfer and generalize the information learned in one task to another. Students with active minds are more effective learners.
Cognitive Growth
It’s not just about memorization! We believe in cognitive growth and understand that it is vital for students to actually understand what they are learning. Therefore, we do not feature ‘kill and drill’—mindless repetition to mastery. We help students understand how to complete tasks, what needs to be done, and why they need to do it—before we develop fluency and speed through drills and practice.
