Oxford Learning Center Reviews

They put all the students in one room which is noisy is distracting. My students had such a hard time trying to concentrate over the noise of everyone talking. Little kids are running around which affects older students. They take full pay from students but don’t provide them with consistent teacher. Instead, they cancel our shifts and reassign those students to other teachers intentionally to not have to pay us. My kids and I couldn’t even build a mutual relationship because of this. They have a different teacher everyday and they don’t know how to interact with them. There is no consistency. Teachers keep quitting and new teachers are hired frequently, you can tell why. They don’t even prepare us to teach the kids. They tell us to make students explain it to us. There is no respect for teachers, and it is all a facade. They say that they teach learning skills more than school content, please do yourself a favour and take your kids to a proper tutoring place. You don’t want your kids to be taught be unhappy and mistreated teachers.

ONCE YOU START EFFECTIVELY TEACHING THE STUDENTS AND THEY ARE SMART ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO NOT NEED OXFORD ANYMORE, THE MANAGEMENT WILL CREATE THINGS TO PUT AGAINST YOU. TOXIC: They want to trap students and collect parents money They do not focus on teaching unless the teacher themselves genuinely cares about the students, poor management and execution of their so called 'core values and principles'. There is major favouritism to people that come from teachers college vs. someone who only has a Bachelor's degree and is equally, if not better, at being able to teach. I worked here for 6 months and had excellent experience with the students and went out of my way to truly teach them and help them work independently. I reviewed their work, both school and oxford to assure they do not have struggle areas. Suddenly, management was being sketchy and went out of their way to make a report of 'using your phone before students arrive', when I had arrived 40 minutes early to the work centre, had everything prepared my kids who were about to come in, and so I went on my phone for about 5 minutes (THIS IS BEFORE WE ARE OPEN, SO I AM NOT ON THE CLOCK) . MIND YOU, that all the other teachers who arrive 5-10 minutes early and are on their phones are not being penalized! ALSO, we have Progress Reports we need to make for the kids every few months, some teachers submit it a month late, and we are able to see this on the google doc online, I had graduate applications due and 3 Progress Reports due, I had only 1 that was 3 weeks late, and they have the nerve to include this is in the 'report'. SO , when I went to management to argue these points, I was successful in defending myself, and he was very relaxed about the whole thing, when meanwhile, I knew something was going on with the other manager. Two weeks pass by and suddenly I am told that it is my last session because I forgot to edit Capitals on a students paper? I did not even bother to argue back because the joke is that I correct other teachers work who do not correct their students work and they don't organize homework being assigned . As a person who has worked in the professional industry, completed university, and worked internationally, this is the worst and most unprofessional experience I have faced. I worked here until attending graduate school because I love to teach and help children, and i know I am effective at doing this. They sabotage and go out of their way to attack an employee and make them seem like this awful person who does not follow rules, when meanwhile there are other teachers getting away with alot more, and this is all because students are moving on and are being able to work independently and do not need Oxford anymore They basically want to trap children into coming here and collect the parent's money
