Our Story

Educators who truly care.

ILCL was founded by Ashika Fernando — an educator with a deep passion for language, creative thinking, and the transformative power of quality education. Based in Colombo, we have spent years helping students not just excel in exams — but develop a genuine love for learning.

Our approach is personal and purpose-driven. Every student learns differently, and we tailor our teaching to each individual’s pace, strengths, and goals — whether preparing for Sri Lanka’s national examinations or aiming for top marks with Cambridge or Edexcel.

“We don’t just teach subjects. We help students excel in exams and grow into confident, articulate learners.”

Proudly Women-Led — founded and directed by women educators dedicated to transforming learning in Sri Lanka.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before enrolling.

Can’t find your answer? Message us and we will reply within 24 hours.

Ask on WhatsApp
Do you offer online classes?

Yes — we offer fully online classes for students both in Sri Lanka and abroad. Our online sessions are just as interactive and personalised as in-person classes, and we work across multiple time zones.

What age groups and grade levels do you teach?

We welcome students aged 8 and above. Our programs span a wide range of levels — from younger learners building foundational skills to O Level and A Level students preparing for Cambridge, Edexcel, and the Sri Lanka National Syllabus.

Which exam boards do you cover?

We cover three major boards: Cambridge International (IGCSE and A Level), Edexcel (O Level and A Level), and the Sri Lanka National Syllabus for Ordinary Level and Advanced Level examinations.

How do I enroll or find out about schedules?

Fill in our enrollment form on this page, or message us on WhatsApp at +94 74 054 4113. We will reply within 24 hours to discuss available slots and how we can best support you.

Are classes one-on-one or in groups?

Both. Private one-on-one sessions offer maximum personalisation and individual attention. Small group classes are capped at 10 to 15 students, ensuring every learner still receives meaningful guidance in a collaborative environment.

Do you provide materials and resources?

Students are required to bring their textbook and writing books to each session. We provide structured notes and model answers as part of our teaching. Past papers are available on request.

What makes ILCL different?

ILCL is a women-led, founder-taught institute where the core subjects are personally delivered by our lead educators — not outsourced to unvetted tutors. Class sizes are deliberately small and teaching is deeply personalised, with genuine investment in each student’s long-term growth.

How much do classes cost?

Fees vary by subject, format (individual or group), and session frequency. Contact us via WhatsApp or the enrollment form and we will share a full fee structure tailored to your needs.
