Me as a Teacher
How We'll Learn Together:
My lessons are super interactive, friendly, and designed just for you! Whether you're brand new to Sinhala or want to level up your skills, I'm here to cheer you on every step of the way.
Don't worry if you're nervous - we'll start chatting in English and slowly mix in more Sinhala as you get comfortable. I promise to make learning feel natural and fun, never overwhelming!
My lessons & teaching style
I offer two main types of lessons:
🗣️ Speaking Lessons – Focused on building your confidence, pronunciation, and everyday conversation skills.
✍️ Writing Lessons – Step-by-step guidance on Sinhala letters, sentence structure, and grammar, including reading practice.
I always start with English to help you feel comfortable, then slowly move into Sinhala as you gain confidence. My lessons are interactive and personalized to suit your age, language level, and interests. I use real-life examples, visuals, and simple explanations to make learning Sinhala easy and enjoyable.
I also provide regular feedback, gentle corrections, and extra practice materials when needed. Whether you're a beginner

I have had weekly Sinhala classes with Pujathri for two months now and am pleased with how much I am learning. Pujathri is very kind and patient, which keeps the lessons fun. The materials she uses helps to make learning vocabulary easy. My husband, who is a native Sinhala speaker, is always impressed after each class at how many new words Pujathri has taught me. I look forward to continuing to work with her!
