Oxford Learning Centre in North Bay is one of the many businesses adapting to change during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Owner Danielle Trudeau tells BayToday business is up, with virtual learning taking place in new areas outside of North Bay, because they don’t have to have the kids in the classroom.
“We’re enrolling people from Kapuskasing, from Timmins and from these communities that just don’t have access to services like ours,” she says.
She says when they worked out of the physical classroom, they typically had three students with the teacher.
“In the virtual format there’s really no difference, and what parents are loving is the kids get to see people that they know from the centre and they get to see their teachers, of course,” Trudeau tells BayToday.
Overall, she says the only real change has been that they aren’t going into the centre.
Trudeau says what they do is beyond tutoring with full assessments of kids of all ages, through university, and compile individualized programs for them.
