Personal Profile: Teacher of English Language & Literature (OL/AL)
"I teach you what a text means AND how that meaning is presented – because examiners demand both."
Who I Am
I am on MA in English & Education (Univ. of Sabaragamuwa – reading), a PG Diploma in TESL (Univ. of Jayewardenepura, 2023), and a BA in English (CINEC, 2016–2020). My professional training includes the Pearson Professional Diploma in Teaching (UK) , a Diploma in Teaching English Language & Literature (LCBT, Sri Lanka) , the British Council Certificate in IELTS Exam Preparation, Cambridge TKT (3 modules) , and the British Council Certificate in Teaching English – over a decade of UK-aligned, exam-focused pedagogy.
What I Teach
Cambridge | Edexcel | AQA
Ordinary Level (OL) & Advanced Level (AL)
English Language
English Literature
My Teaching Style
I blend content analysis (what a text means) with presentation analysis (how that meaning is structured, paced, and delivered to the reader). My lessons use short declarative sentences, contrast tables, and live demonstrations of effect. I do not lecture. I train you to see language the way an examiner does.
Why My Classes Work
You will never summarise plot without analysing form.
You will never analyse form without connecting it to meaning.
You will write integrated essays that move seamlessly between what and how.
My students learn to deconstruct any unseen text – prose, poetry, drama, non-fiction – and produce sophisticated critical answers under timed conditions.

One Sentence to Remember Me By
"You will stop asking 'What does this mean?' alone – and start asking 'What does this mean AND how is this done?' together. That is the difference between passing and excelling."
📩 Message me your exam board, level, and biggest challenge. I will reply with one free, personalised paragraph of feedback on a sample of your writing.
