Dewanayaki Teaching Mathematics
No reviews yet

I am a highly experienced Mathematics Educator and a Doctorate (PhD) researcher in Education, with a strong passion for developing students’ conceptual understanding, analytical thinking, and exam confidence. I continuously enhance my academic expertise to ensure my teaching practices are research-informed, effective, and aligned with current educational standards.

I have over 17 years of experience teaching the Malaysian government school syllabus, covering primary, secondary, and Form 6 levels, along with 11 years of experience teaching Kumon Mathematics. I have successfully guided students of all abilities, from those with weak foundations to high achievers aiming for academic excellence.

Each year, I teach hundreds of students, and parents consistently report clear and measurable improvement in their children’s mathematical understanding, confidence, and examination performance.

A key strength of my teaching is supporting Form 5 students who join at a late stage, including those scoring single-digit marks in school examinations. Through structured lessons, targeted practice, and exam-focused strategies, many of these students have gone on to pass SPM Mathematics and achieve results of up to B+.

In addition to school-level mathematics, I have extensive experience teaching:
-> Business Mathematics (Diploma level)
-> Foundation Mathematics
-> Matriculation Mathematics
-> A-Level Mathematics

My teaching approach emphasises:
-> Building strong mathematical foundations and conceptual clarity
-> Training students to present clear, accurate, step-by-step solutions
-> Teaching efficient and correct use of the scientific calculator
-> Developing exam strategies that improve accuracy, speed, and confidence

I strongly believe that with expert guidance, structured learning, and consistent practice, every student can achieve improvement and success in mathematics.
