Hello, I am an experienced language tutor who teaches both children and adults. I have been learning Japanese and Hindi languages, which helps me understand learners' struggles. I can help you improve your Sinhala language skills, focusing on speaking and listening comprehension skills to enhance your speaking abilities. I can also assist with improving writing and reading skills if needed and will provide learning materials. My current students come from various countries including the US, UK, Australia, Italy, New Zealand, Japan, Ireland, India, and others. I am excited to meet new people and make friends. I will be your speaking partner and assist you in any way I can. contact me ASAP.Me as a Teacher
I am a TESOL-TEFL certified teacher. I have completed teacher training courses on the British Council website (www.teachingenglish.org.uk). Previously, I used to work as a computer trainer at a computer institute and also have about a year of teaching experience online. As someone who's been learning different languages, I have gained a deep understanding of the challenges that language learners face. I love creating personalized lesson plans that are just right for each student. So I always make sure to meet my students' needs. I am eager to share effective language-learning methods that I have personally used. I am here to help you become a fluent Sinhala speaker.My lessons & teaching style
I would start with basic Sinhala lessons such as the alphabet (if necessary), basic grammar, and day-to-day conversational Sinhala sentences, and then smoothly move on to advanced lessons. I will provide pdf notes and whatever effective materials that I can provide for learners. most importantly, I will pay attention to the demands and needs of the students. I believe learning a language should be a fun experience, so I focus on students' interests and find the best method for each individual.My teaching material

Thank you! I've had 8 lessons so far with Nayana in preparation for an upcoming trip and learnt way more than I could have expected. She's not afraid to help you expand what you can say as a learner, giving you a good broad picture of how the language works. Thanks again!

Nayana is the best teacher. She is patient with me and makes learning a new language fun. She is always well prepared with new material and makes it easy to understand. I highly recommend taking lessons from her.

Nayana is a great teacher with a strong knowledge of Sinhala. She explains grammar well and gives you space to practice, ask questions, get clarification. Really enjoyed our lessons together and if I'm ever back in Sri Lanka, I'll be in touch for more lessons for sure! :)

I am profoundly impressed by Nayana's teaching skills. She makes you love the language and the learning process becomes natural and easier with her. My first objective is to learn Sinhala with pleasure and I can already tell, after only two courses with Nayana, that I am enjoying the process a lot. This is thanks to her method, patience and flexibility to adapt the pace of the lessons and the explanations to my needs. Thank you, Nayana, I am looking forward to the next lesson! Corina
