Sri LankaWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated mathematics teacher with over ten years of experience teaching in English-medium schools and tutoring privately. I hold a B.Sc. (Second Class Honors) and an M.Sc. in Industrial Mathematics from the University of Sri Jayewardenapura.
My teaching career spans roles at St. Aloysius College, Holy Family Convent, and Eheliyagoda Central College, alongside ongoing self-employed tutoring since 2007. I combine classroom management, creativity, and technology integration to support diverse learners.
I have research experience in mathematics, with articles published in the International Journal of Mathematical Modeling and Numerical Optimization (2018) and the SLASS annual proceedings (2014). I apply this research perspective to curriculum delivery and student problem solving.
I am committed to fostering conceptual understanding and analytical thinking in students, using proven pedagogical techniques and continuous professional development to improve learning outcomes.
