Tutor Qualifications

I know a lot about space exploration because I have taken a class about astronomy and space exploration course. In addition, I regularly read about space exploration during my free time. Rest assured that this may be my first time tutoring at Schoolhouse, but I am confident I can provide exceptional assistance.

Shubhankar (Co-host):

I am a passionate sophomore (10th grade student) from India, deeply fascinated by the subjects of astronomy, astrophysics, physics, and math. I am the leader of the High School Astronomy Club in my city, and I have a real passion for the subject. I've even won first place twice in regional competitions like the SOF and Copernicus Olympiad, which shows how much I know about astronomy. Right now, I'm getting ready to compete in the International Astronomy Olympiad (IAO). I've also been reading books on astronomy and taking an online course on EDX to learn even more. I love learning about space, and I'm excited to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with others. You can trust me to teach a course that's engaging and informative.

About the Tutors

I am a high school student from Texas. I heard about Schoolhouse.world from watching a video on YouTube. In my free time, I like to study, and I also like to paint and draw in my free time as well. But I also love to dance and sing. I also spend some of my free time programming and coding, because I want to improve those skills.
