I'm Nalaka! I graduated from the University of Peradeniya with a bachelor's degree in Chemistry. Which is a 4-year degree with including all the types of chemistry courses such as general chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and biochemistry as well. I obtained my degree with departmental honours for the best performances. During that time I have worked as a chemistry tutor for high school students. Afterwards, I got hired as a teaching assistant in the same university where I taught lab classes as well as paper classes for chemistry undergraduate students.

Then I get entered the University of Mississippi to pursue my PhD degree in chemistry. During that 5 years of period, I have gain lots of experience in teaching undergraduate students as well as graduate students as well. Moreover, I have mentored several undergraduate and graduate students in the laboratory where I have done my research. During that time I have published several (10+) peer review articles in highly reputed journals about my research findings and followed several graduate-level course works including all the aspects of chemistry.

I have obtained an outstanding organic graduate award from the American Chemical Society local section due to my best performances in research. Also, I have obtained a graduate achievement award from the University of Mississippi for my best performances in course work and research. After graduation, I have entered Saint Louis University to gain more experiences in my career where I have worked as a Postdoctoral fellow for one year. Where I have mentored graduate students and undergraduate students as well.

Currently, I'm working as a college professor and teaching a number of students. My specializations are general chemistry, organic chemistry, and inorganic chemistry. My main goal of tutoring is to remove the knowledge gaps in chemistry and make it easy for the learners. Feel free to contact me anytime to schedule a lesson.

Amazing tutoring!

Nalaka was an awesome tutor. He is truly very knowledgeable in organic chemistry, and he was extremely patient with my learning. He made me feel very welcome to ask questions and I felt much more comfortable about the material for my final exam after meeting with him! Will definitely be using him again in the future.

Ella, 4 lessons with Nalaka

Helpful and patient

Nalaka was very good at explaining concepts or problems. His knowledge of chemistry was shown as he could provide example problems based on another related question. I would recommend highly.

chemistry tutor - patient & professional

Great chemistry teacher, very patient & professional . Flexible with scheduling, always prompt with time. Will take him again, anytime any day. Thanks

Pet, 12 lessons with Nalaka

explained well , I recommend him for organic chemistry.

good explanation for molecular orbitals. I was able to book with him easily and he was available even early in the morning. Thanks.

Nadia, 2 lessons with Nalaka

Very thorough and knows the ins and outs of ochem 2 very well!

He helped explain difficult topics and mechanisms as well as extremely difficult problems even other tutors had problems with! He’s also very good at adapting, when Wyzant had issues the day of my exam he made a zoom and was able to help me finish my exam review so that I would be prepared, he is awesome!

Adaptable and Knowledgeable

Nalaka's tutoring is great because he is adaptable to what you need to learn. If you ask him to pause and explain a prerequisite concept, he will gladly take a step back and explain that as well, which is exactly what I need. He's helped me a lot for orgo 1 and I will definitely be returning for more lessons when I take orgo 2 next month. I would 100% recommend him to anyone.

Colin, 9 lessons with Nalaka

very knowledgeable

Very knowledgeable and patient. He knows how to explain the material in a fast and easy pace. A different approach than the regular school tutoring.

100/10 Highly recommend! Very knowledgeable, Kind, and Patient

He taught me how to address conversion factors, electronic configuration, electronic diagrams, and Lewis structures. I loved how he responded quickly to my request for an appointment. Additionally, I loved the way he explained the concepts and provided me with numerous examples to ensure I understood. I didn't feel judged at all to ask questions. He is very kind and it was a pleasure meeting with him. I will be seeking his tutoring services for all my Chemistry needs.

Strongly Knowledgeable & Passionate about Chemistry

I have been tutoring with Nalaka for more than six months. Organic Chemistry is a challenging subject, but he teaches in a clear, straightforward manner. I give him full credit for helping me excel in Organic Chemistry I and II. He is quick to answer any questions within first sight due to his extensive understanding of many aspects of chemistry. I’ve only had an amazing experience with him. I strongly recommend him if you are having trouble with the higher level chemistry courses.
