Information about Senaka
I graduated from the University of Birmingham with a Bsc Natural Sciences degree in Maths and Chemistry in 2015. Since then I completed the PGCE (postgraduate certificate of education) at the University of Oxford. I`ve worked at a several schools including an inner London school with exceptional student results. I currently work as a math teacher at the Waverley secondary school in Birmingham. I`ve developed my teaching style to create lasting confidence and exam success for my students by adhering to the following principles:
1. Building a strong relationship with the student to aid learning.
2. Making the content relevant to the student by using real life examples and breaking down learning into achievable steps.
3. Providing exam practise. When students see their efforts turning into marks their motivation gets a wonderful boost.
4. Having students regularly teach back concepts to me to enhance their long-term retention of knowledge.
5. Setting regular homework with personalised feedback.
Don`t hesitate to get in touch with any questions you may have.

My son currently enjoying a few lessons with Senaka, I would recommend him as a tutor for helping to inspire an otherwise unscientific student. He is very responsive by email too which makes things a lot easier.
