Oxford Learning

The story of Oxford Learning is so much more than simply the story of a tutoring company. 

The Oxford Learning story is the story of a family-based business determined to make a real and lasting difference in how students approach thinking and learning. It is the story of a company committed to the idea that there is a better way to learn.

Founded by Dr. Nick Whitehead in 1984 in London, ON, the first Oxford Learning location began with only a few simple programs in place. At the time, cognitive learning was still a new concept in the field of education.

Dr. Whitehead’s research in the field of epistemology—the branch of philosophy that deals with the nature and scope of learning—he knew there was a better and more effective way to help students get better grades.
