Hello, my name is Gabriella and I am a fourth year marketing student at the Schulich School of Business at York University. I am fluent in French and was a French immersion student through elementary and high school, and have taken many French language courses at York University. I have been teaching French for the past 4 years and I am very happy and excited to be a French teacher here at the Oxford Learning Centre. My enthusiasm and passion for learning will certainly help students gain interest in the French language.

Hello, my name is Kirill Matveev and I am currently earning a Specialized Honors undergraduate degree in Accounting at York University. My experience with students includes tutoring children from grades 1 to 4 in reading, writing, and math. Through tutoring, I learned to cater my teaching based on the specific needs of my students. I’ve also volunteered in grade 9 and 10 geography, math and business classes, helping students understand concepts, marking tests and working on time management skills. I recently spent 6 months abroad in Stockholm (Sweden) learning about international business practices and theories. I also love soccer! Through my schooling and travels, I have gained a lot of personal experience that I plan on incorporating into my teachings at Oxford Learning!

Hello, my name is Melanie and I am an English teacher at Oxford Learning. I am currently in my fourth year at York University completing a BA in History and Social Science. After I graduate, I plan to attain a Bachelor of Education and pursue a professional career in teaching.

These opportunities have allowed me to share my love for working with children, and ultimately strengthen my passion for teaching. As a tutor at Oxford Learning, I would like to help my students build their self-confidence and develop a positive attitude towards learning. Aside from teaching, I enjoy reading, watching movies, and traveling!
