Qualification:

Bachelor of Education

Experience:

I am Alisha Dsilva, a passionate educator with over 12 years of tutoring experience and 7+ years of teaching in international school settings. My teaching journey began in 2012, where I provided private tutoring for various curricula, including British, American, and Indian boards, helping students achieve their academic goals.

With a Bachelor of Education and hands-on experience as a Grade Teacher and Science Coordinator, I specialize in delivering personalized and differentiated learning experiences that cater to the unique needs of each student. My teaching approach revolves around creating an inclusive, supportive, and engaging environment, where students feel confident to explore, ask questions, and deepen their understanding of subjects.

Teaching Style:

I emphasize active learning through inquiry-based teaching, hands-on experiments, and technology integration. My lesson plans are tailored to each student's learning pace and style, whether they require extra support or are looking to be challenged. I regularly use assessment tools to monitor progress and adapt lessons to ensure every student stays on track.

I believe in the importance of fostering curiosity and critical thinking, encouraging students to take ownership of their learning. My strong communication skills and ability to build rapport with both students and parents ensure a positive and collaborative learning experience.

Strengths and Expertise:

• Extensive knowledge of various curricula (British, American, Indian).

• Proficient in creating individualized lesson plans based on student needs.

• Strong emphasis on active, hands-on learning and critical thinking.

• Skilled in curriculum management, student assessment, and differentiation.

• Strong relationships with parents and regular feedback on student progress.

• Fluent in English and able to cater to a diverse student population.

Approach:

As a tutor with over 12 years of experience, my lesson planning is always student-centered and goal-oriented. Before starting with a student, I assess their current level of understanding, identify their strengths and areas for improvement, and set achievable learning goals. I then design structured lesson plans that gradually build on their knowledge, ensuring that each concept is well understood before moving on to the next.

I also incorporate a variety of activities and resources to cater to different learning styles, including visual aids, hands-on activities, and real-world examples to make learning more relatable and engaging. My lessons are broken down into clear sections, starting with a brief recap of previous lessons, moving on to the main topic with guided examples, followed by independent practice, and ending with a summary and review of key takeaways.

My specialties include tutoring students in both the British and American curricula, as well as preparing them for exams in Math, Science, English and other primary subjects. I have extensive experience working with students from Grades 1 to 7. Additionally, I have a deep understanding of exam formats and requirements, helping students prepare for standardized tests and assessments with confidence.


If you’re seeking a tutor who can provide individualized, effective, and engaging lessons, I’d be happy to support your child's academic journey!
