Hello! My name is Suramya, and I’m an environmental and materials chemist with a passion for making science engaging and easy to understand. I hold a PhD in Nanotechnology and Materials Science from Queensland University of Technology, Australia, and a BSc (Honours) in Chemistry from the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. My research and teaching experience span over a decade across universities and laboratories, where I’ve guided students to build confidence and curiosity in chemistry.
Throughout my academic career as a university lecturer and senior faculty member, I have taught a wide range of chemistry and materials science courses—from introductory general and physical chemistry to advanced materials characterization and nanotechnology. I have designed and delivered both classroom and one-on-one sessions using outcome-based, learner-centered teaching methods. I enjoy helping students see the logic behind complex topics instead of memorizing facts. My students range from high school and college learners to early researchers preparing for advanced studies.
My approach to tutoring focuses on understanding each student’s background and pace, breaking down topics into manageable concepts, and using real-world examples to make lessons relevant and clear. I integrate technology and visual learning tools to strengthen conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. Seeing a student’s “aha!” moment when everything clicks is the best part of my work. Whether you’re preparing for an exam, catching up on missed lessons, or aiming to improve your grades, I’ll help you master chemistry step by step with patience, structure, and encouragement.
Let’s make chemistry make sense together!
