"Speaking about my teacher, I'm always thinking that I was fortunate to be her student. Because she is the best teacher I've ever met.
She seems to be very passionate in what she is teaching and have genuine intention to help her students when they need it.

Apart from the teaching, she is best mentor for me. Even when I lost the trust about me, she believes and encourage me towards positivity. I wish her for the best of best."

"I have been in your class as an observer. I like your method of teaching as you have the knowledge and you follow a method where you make the students understand the content in an effective manner. This is done through, pictures, repetition, working in a group and book work. The correct pronunciation of words and prepositions are also taught very well.

You also use the reciting of poems as a teaching tool which I feel helps the individual to be confident in speaking English and helps to stimulate their imagination. You do all the above with a lot of kindness too.

These are some of the points I observed and why I would recommend you and your method of teaching.

All the best for your future endeavors."

"While observing the lessons conducted to my kids in Mrs. Jayawardhane's 'Elocution Class', I have experienced a lot about the methods she practices. The way of explaining things, pronunciation, the way of getting answers from the child, the way of letting the child think and act is exceptional. Not only that, she teaches them manners and good ethics also.

In this pandemic situation also, she is conducting online lessons for kids and it is a big relief for us as parents who are always concerned about our kids' education and kids enjoy that too.

As a happy mother of two kids who learn from Mrs.Jayawardhane, I wish good luck with her priceless effort and recommend her classes for the parents who always search for quality education."

"My 4 year kid started her class somewhere around November 2019. I couldn't believe how she enjoyed her lessons. Actually, the teacher, Ms. Anoja is a very talented and a kind-hearted lady. Her teaching style is very unique and she knows how to handle the kids of these ages. The class is so child friendly and lessons are interesting. I would recommend her as the best teacher of my kid..."

"Mrs.Anoja is a wonderful teacher who has a good understanding of the subject. She is excellent in grammar and the spoken aspect of the language as well.
I must say, she is a very creative person who always uses different teaching techniques to get the matter into the student’s mind so easily.

Usually to most of the students, learning English is a boring subject but her sense of humour makes learning more interesting.

Other than the English language, she is a person who teaches how to survive in life too. Thanks to her today I have gained the ability to use the English language in the proper manner.

Finally, I would say that anyone would be so lucky to have her as their English teacher."

"As a parent of a child studying in grade two, I honestly appreciate Mrs. Jayawardena’s dedication as an elocution teacher who has been conducting online classes. I was, of course, a little worried about my child’s education due to the global emergency contingency caused by the pandemic but now I am quite relived since my child is actively taking part in her online classes enthusiastically just as earlier without any difference. The motivation and inspiration extended to the kids and keeping them occupied with their basic skills such as reading, writing, comprehension and poetry recitation etc. must be highly commended.
I wish good luck and all the best for Mrs. Jayawardena for her untiring effort and sacrificing her valuable time in order to uplift the standards of her students."

"I am Devin Chandula, a past student of Royal College Colombo and undergraduate student at the University of Peradeniya. I was also a student of Mrs.Jayawardana who is probably one of the finest and the most approachable English language teacher I have ever met.

I attended to her spoken English classes for two years when I was of age 6 & 7 and during those two years my knowledge in English language got improved. It paved a strong foundation in English language for me, which helped me as I grew up.

Nevertheless, she is a gifted teacher who does her best to make us fluent in English. I was also able to win a prize for spoken English by participating in CALSDA exams which she trained me for.

I highly recommend Mrs. Jayawardena for students those who are willing to improve their English language."

"You guided us on using effective teaching methods with students when you were the coordinator of Piliyandala Zonal English Support Center. You worked with us to develop the morality of children who were poor in English. You made an easy backdrop to the teachers of English language in Piliyandala education zone. During your service period you did everything at your level best as a teacher of real sense. I as a teacher of English Language saw your dedication and commitment you made during your working period even though it was a short period, I had to work in association of you. Therefore, I know well you are brilliant in all facets of English Language. You take the responsibility and you take them towards the victory. So, I know well when you started something you completed it well. So, I think you will definitely succeed this new English program conducted through the modern technology."

"English is an international key for all type of approaches. You may not understand or fluent in particular subject but if you can handle this key well of course you can manage the conversation in quintessential pattern.

I joined teacher Anoja Jayawardena’s English language class at Bandaranaike Centre for International Studies Sri Lanka in 2014.

Overall, she used to focus on everything and helped me to improve my English-speaking ability. I am now confident in my speaking ability which has improved a lot and I am super excited to do next level of training again with the same trainer.
One great thing about the class is that I could fix my goals with my teacher so she prepared the lessons according to that. It was a completely customized program. I thank my teacher for all her patience and extraordinary enjoyment of teaching English.

And also, the group activities were also organized in a way that every student has to contribute, so that if they like or not every student should contribute in the activity.
I fully recommend teacher Anoja’s English class to improve your speaking skills and it’s surely more than teaching and learning English. She is a professional and passionate teacher who always makes effort to give ways to get close to English."
