Marla Ovenden-Cooper

Multi-Centre Education Coordinator

I have been working for Oxford Learning Centre for over 10 years. I am passionate about educating children and youth in the best way possible. I have come from a background in working with individuals who have different needs. I have a Bachelor of Arts with a concentration in sociology, which was obtained through Laurentian University. I am a mother of two who understands and values a strong parental involvement. As such, when not at the centre you may find me supporting my children at the dance studio, playing at the park or having a family adventure.

Angela Olver

Little Reader Teacher, Core Teacher, and French Teacher

I have taught at Oxford Learning for just over a year as a French teacher, Little Readers teacher and a variety of other positions as need has arisen. I have had a life long dream of teaching and my experience at Oxford Learning has been exciting, challenging and deeply fulfilling as I observe the difference we make in children's lives. I completed my B.A. with a double major in French and Spanish, which afforded me the opportunity to study in both Spain and France. This experience has given me an appreciation for different cultures and fuelled my passion for language. When I am not teaching at Oxford Learning I am usually relaxing with a good book or spending quality time with my fiancé and my cats.

Maggie Jones

Teacher

I have been working for Oxford Learning Centre since September 2010. I have a Masters Degree in Biology and am a certified teacher. I teach high school math, science, and Little Readers. I have a passion for teaching and have had the experience of working in the school systems in Canada and the United States. My experience as an Oxford Learning teacher led to the opportunity to be an Education Director for an Oxford Learning Centre for a maternity leave. I am excited to be back at Oxford Learning Barrie to allow me to continue to help children and youth within the Barrie community. When not teaching I can be found at the training centre, training my horses, playing ball hockey, and enjoying time with friends.

Megan Matsubayashi

Teacher

I have been working at Oxford Learning Centre since June 2012.I am a certified teacher with a degree in mathematics. At Oxford Learning, I teach students from grade 1-12, including high school math and SAT preparation. I enjoy seeing the improvements made by our students, followed by the confidence gained from these improvements. When I am not teaching, I can be found spending time with family and friends.

Stephanie Duprey

English and French Teacher

I have been tutoring in many capacities for over 20 years. Before coming to Oxford Learning last year, I taught adults for many years at the Barrie Literacy Council. I received my Bachelor of Arts in the late nineties at the University of Guelph. I attended Lakehead University in 2010 to receive my Bachelor of Education focusing on the primary/junior divisions. I enjoy the relationships that I develop with my students through learning. When away from my work my daughters and I travel and enjoy cooking. I am fortunate to teach overseas every summer through the Mother Teresa Missionaries of Charity Foundation.
