Dr. Hayeshika Fernando, Sri Lankas market leading online tutor for Grade Five Scholarship Examination
students, was recently awarded as the Most Popular Scholarship Lecturer at the Business World
International Awards. Organized by the Business World International Organization, the award ceremony

Island Professional Lecturers Association (APLA) during its 10th biannual conference. President Ranil
Wickremesinghe, who graced the conference, presented the award, recognizing her significant service
towards improving education in Sri Lanka.
Dr. Fernando is recognized as the top online tutor for the Grade Five Scholarship Examination. Her
innovative teaching approach has revolutionized how students prepare for this crucial exam. As the sole
teacher, she has successfully guided nearly 100,000 students through her online classes, providing them
with the tools and confidence to excel. Her classes, structured around five main courses, are designed to
help students achieve scores exceeding 190 marks in the Scholarship Examination. The online format
offers numerous benefits, including the convenience of not having to travel, the ability to access
recordings of previous sessions, and the opportunity for parents to monitor their children’s progress. She
has a strong presence on social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube, which has further expanded
her reach and influence. Despite the online nature of her classes, she ensures personalized attention for
each student, with special focus on those needing additional guidance. A unique feature of Dr. Fernando’s
academy is the grand graduation ceremony held in Colombo after every examination. This celebration,
unmatched by any other tuition service, underscores the academy’s commitment to not only academic
excellence but also the holistic development of its students.
