Products & Services
What Makes Oxford Learning Unique
Oxford Learning began in the mid-1980s when a team of education experts came together to create a unique learning program based on research into how children actually learn. Since then, Oxford Learning has grown to include more than 100 locations across Canada and the United States.
Oxford Learning goes beyond tutoring to help students reach their learning potential, not just for one grade or one year but for a lifetime. Our unique programs teach children to learn how to learn. Just one to two hours a week can make a world of difference in developing the right skills and habits to succeed, no matter what the subject or the grade level, and breaking the cycle of hiring tutors year-after-year.
Independent learning
At Oxford Learning we teach students how to learn and how to mentally organize information so that it makes sense. We turn students into independent learners.
It’s the foundation of good grades—and Oxford Learning is the only supplemental educator teaching students how to do it.
Personal direction
Working in small groups under the personal direction of a highly qualified instructor, Oxford Learning students develop a new approach to school work, test preparation and study habits. The result is a confident, capable student who looks forward to school.
Dynamic Assessment
Each Oxford Learning program begins with a Dynamic Diagnostic Assessment™, a unique combination of internationally recognized assessment tools and our proprietary assessment tool. It gives us a remarkable view of the whole student, not just academic standing.
This means we can develop individual programs that engage the student and help him or her to comprehend fully and improve grades.
Beyond Tutoring
Oxford Learning goes beyond tutoring. Tutoring can be a short-term answer to some problems at school. But we provide the tools and skills that engender a love of learning — for life!
Regular Program Reviews
You’re in the loop. It’s a partnership for success. We keep parents up to date with regularly scheduled Lesson Plan Reviews. That way, you’ll know what your child has been working on and where he or she is heading on this journey to success.

Why Oxford Learning Centers?
Leading Edge Curriculum
Oxford Learning’s curriculum was created from the ground up. Most other learning programs use a familiar strategy of memorization through repetition. Where this method falls short—and where Oxford Learning makes the difference—is that repetition and memorization don’t lead to understanding. Without understanding, the memorized facts aren't retained for long and form only a shaky foundation for later information to be built upon. Oxford Learning teaches students not to memorize, but to understand.
A New Way Of Thinking
Extensive research and progressive program development keep Oxford Learning at education’s leading edge. Designed with a difference and designed to make a difference, Oxford Learning programs bring an enhanced approach to what is commonly known as ‘tutoring’. Most supplemental educators or tutors focus on the basic academic skills or the particular subject that is causing concern. Oxford Learning’s programs get to the root of the problem and correct it for lasting results.
We help students adopt better ways of learning as we develop their general thinking skills. We teach them how to problem-solve and to analyze information. We help them to develop discrimination skills and the ability to really concentrate.
No other program develops these skills. No other program helps students develop that deep-seated confidence that comes from knowing that they are in control of how they learn.
But Oxford Learning doesn’t stop here. We teach students to pay attention to the process of learning. We enable them to recognize when they are learning and to be aware of their level of understanding. With this new way of thinking, Oxford Learning students tackle the academic basics and curriculum materials with confidence. They truly understand.
Fulfilling and rewarding for you, it is also rewarding for your business, as successful, confident students and their grateful parents lead to a flow of referrals.
