Tutor Qualifications

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.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

I'd appreciate it if you could make it to most of the sessions. Going over two missed ones might make it a tad tough to keep pace with our discussions. No worries, though—I'll make sure to share notes in the chat to lend you a hand. If you ever need to step away during a session, just drop me a message. Your active involvement adds a great touch to the course experience!
