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

Nayana is an excellent teacher. She is very flexible and creates personalized lessons, teaching to your own interests and needs. Her dedication, kindness, and hard work go over and beyond what other teachers offer, and I can't recommend her highly enough.
