Who is this for?

Parents can share the student's grade, current school background and the main difficulty before choosing between online, in-person, individual or small-group support.

Small groups make space for individual attention

A maximum of 5 students gives Erandathie more opportunity to notice a difficulty and offer explanation, correction and feedback.

After joining, Erandathie observes the student's English during the first lessons and teaches according to their learning gaps rather than grade alone.

How lessons work

How Classes Begin

Parents do not need to choose the perfect class immediately. Share the main difficulty first, then discuss a suitable class format.

  1. Inquire on WhatsApp about a suitable class
  2. Join an individual or small-group class
  3. During the first lessons, identify what the student understands and where support is needed
  4. Rebuild foundations with guided practice and individual corrections
  5. Review ongoing work and share feedback with parents

Who These Classes Help

These lessons are suited to children who find English reading slow, struggle to spell common words, feel unsure when answering in full sentences, or need a calmer pace than a busy classroom can provide.

How Lessons Stay Age-Appropriate

The focus is on small, manageable steps: reading aloud, understanding new words, practising sentence patterns, writing short answers and reviewing schoolwork without pressuring the child.

Common Problems Addressed

  • Slow or hesitant reading
  • Weak spelling and dictation
  • Difficulty writing full sentences
  • Limited vocabulary for schoolwork

Skills Taught

  • Reading fluency
  • Writing
  • Vocabulary building
  • Sentence construction
  • Basic grammar
  • Dictation
  • Pronunciation
  • Short spoken answers

How Lessons Are Structured

Lessons usually begin with reading or vocabulary practice, move into a focused grammar or writing task, and finish with review so the child leaves with a clear next step.

What Parents and Students Can Expect

Parents can expect patient correction, regular revision and support that matches the child's current level rather than rushing into difficult work too early.

Parents can share the student's grade, school background and main difficulties when enquiring about individual, small-group, online or in-person classes. The student's actual gaps are identified during lessons after joining.

Small groups have a maximum of 5 students. Students may receive either 4 or 8 classes per 4-week cycle depending on their needs.
