KAVIRU METHUNAKA - ROYAL COLLEGE
I am Kaviru Methnuka from Royal College. I was the 11th in the District and 33rd in the island in the Biology stream, at the 2021 ALs. Physics became my favourite subject soon after I started my AL period, and I can undoubtedly say that our Sir, Dr. Devapriya was one of the main reasons. The main thing I like about his teaching is his foolproof, highly descriptive, yet easily understandable note. Apart from that, he made us do a wide variety of standard questions, under each and every section in our syllabus. So basically, studying his notes and understanding and analyzing all his questions would be more than adequate to obtain a very impressive result at the ALs. He specifically taught us how to think practically about Physics problems. He gave us additional practical knowledge we might need to answer questions based on various practical scenarios. For example, he taught us the basic mechanisms of a washing machine, AC system, tachometer and many other appliances used in day to day life. This certainly helps us at the AL exam because basing questions on practical scenarios is a trend seen among current exam paper setters. And apart from all this, he’s a very nice, kind and friendly gentleman. He is always available and just one phone call away to clarify any doubts we have on the subject, in the dead of night and even in the middle of his lunchtime. I’m saying this with personal experience. He has regular friendly chats with his students and maintains a great student-teacher relationship with all his students. He is a teacher that made a great impact on my life. I’m grateful to him for everything and I wish him all the very best.
