Roshan De Silva

I have 38 years lecturing experience in UK, Sri Lanka and Singapore universities in addition to working as a tutor for individuals and small group tuition classes. I have a PhD (UK), MSc (UK) and BSc (Hons) (Sri Lanka) degrees in addition to being a chartered engineer (CEng, MIE) and a fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA, UK). I also have a teaching qualification (PGCHE, UK)

My teaching style includes;
Student-Centred Approach - You’re not just a number in a seat. I shape my teaching around your goals, your pace, and your strengths. Whether you're a visual learner, a hands-on doer, or someone who thrives on discussion, I’ll adapt to help you thrive.

Active Learning All the Way - Expect to participate, problem-solve, and collaborate. From real-world scenarios to group challenges, I believe the best learning happens when you’re actively engaged — not just passively listening.

Open Communication - Got questions? Ask away. Confused? Let’s break it down. I aim to create an environment where no one’s afraid to speak up, and feedback flows both ways. We learn with each other, not just from each other.

Real-World Relevance - Whether we're diving into theory or practice, I’ll always connect it back to the real world — careers, current events, and everyday life. My goal is to make sure you walk away thinking, “This actually matters.”

A Positive Vibe - Learning should be fun — yes, even math can have their moments. I bring energy, humour, and empathy into my teaching so you feel motivated and supported every step of the way.
