Elise Bolger

I am an enthusiastic educator and have a passion for teaching mathematics and physics. I particularly enjoy teaching senior high school students. My favourite part of being a mathematica educator is helping students realize their own potential and and learn to love mathematics! 

I am the Education Director at Oxford Learning and have many roles at the Learning Centre. I am in charge of student assessments, putting together student programs and curriculum, parent meetings, and teaching. As the Education Director I am the first point of contact for the students and have to opportunity to build rapport with every student that walks through our doors. My favourite part of working for Oxford is having the chance to work with a wide range of students. On any given day I may teach a grade 12 calculus student what a derivative is or a kindergarten student what numbers are. It’s very rewarding and the main reason I want to dedicate my life to education. 

I am currently enrolled in the Masters of Mathematics for Teachers program at the University of Waterloo. This program has given me the opportunity to build my understanding of the core foundations of mathematics and explore new ways to share my knowledge with my students.
