About the Tutor

hello everyone <3 My name is Devika and I am currently an international student studying at an IGCSE school. I am in year 11 and enjoy engulfing in areas of math, physics, chemistry, astronomy and coding! (fun fact: I can speak 5 languages and I can play the electric guitar) I wanted an opportunity to share my knowledge and converse with other knowledge-hungry peers! (eventually, though, I need to get these certifications done 🙄👍) i also have a podcast.

We'll discuss and go over the topics that will be covered in this series! Feel free to pick out sessions of your own interests however, the universe is a puzzle and each concept of it is a perfect puzzle piece. Without a specific piece, your understanding of the universe may not be complete. 
Hope to see you space-enthusiasts there :)
