noun + as well as + noun
verb + as well as + verb
adjective + as well as + adjective
adverb + as well as + adverb
prepositional phrase + as well as + prepositional phrase
Examples:
Robert is talented as well as handsome.
Ram writes neatly as well as correctly.
Jane excels in mathematics as well as in science.
Roberts plays the piano as well as composes music.
NB: When using as well as to indicate a compound subject, the phrase should be separated by commas. The verb should agree with the principal (first) subject
E.g.,
The teacher, as wel as her students, is going to the concert.
(Don't use 'are' in place of 'is')
My cousins, as well as Tim, have a test tomorrow.
(Don't use 'has' in place of 'have')

Dear Mr Jacob,
The above mentioned article is really interesting. The striking feature of the whole script is the statement highlighted in brown. It becomes more evident by the ensued relevant examples.
I have also noticed and experienced the same mistake. I mean while speaking, we don't bother the main subject and usualy pay more attention to the later part of the compound subject and use the verb accordingly. Thanks for letting us know how to edit the conventional mistake.
Also, I look forward to reading your April 4th blog.
With Lots of Love and Best Wishes,
Pooja
