What qualifies someone to teach here

A

A degree in their field

Every instructor holds a degree in a space-science or engineering field — aerospace engineering, astrophysics, space-technology research — not a generalist tutor.

B

Real space-science experience

They have worked in the field they teach, from building spacecraft communication systems to studying the night sky, and bring that first-hand context into class.

C

Built for live, small-group teaching

They teach curiosity over memorisation, asking questions of each child in a small live group rather than reading slides at a crowd.

D

You meet one before you pay

Every family meets an instructor in a free demo class first — so you judge the teaching for yourself before any payment.

Meet the instructors

Rishika Dange, Aerospace Engineer

Aerospace Engineer

Rishika is an aerospace engineer who watched the Chandrayaan-2 and Chandrayaan-3 missions launch live from Sriharikota — experiences that deepened her belief that space belongs to everyone. She brings flight and spaceflight to life for young learners through storytelling and outreach, bridging complex science and a child’s natural sense of wonder about the cosmos.

Purva Muley, Astrophysicist

Purva Muley

Astrophysicist

Purva is an astrophysicist and astronomy educator with five years of teaching experience. She has a gift for making complex space science clear, accessible, and genuinely engaging. Her teaching favours curiosity over memorisation — encouraging students to ask questions and think critically — because she believes astronomy is for everyone, not a select few.

Ankita Gupta, Ex-ISRO Scientist · B.Tech + PGDE

Ankita Gupta

Ex-ISRO Scientist · B.Tech + PGDE

Ankita holds a B.Tech in Electronics Engineering and a PGDE from Birmingham City University, and spent over eight years as an ISRO scientist developing communication systems for Indian spacecraft. She combines that space-technology background with inquiry-based teaching, designing engaging, hands-on lessons in astronomy, astrophysics, and space engineering that foster curiosity and critical thinking.

Agatha Das, Astrophysicist

Agatha Das

Astrophysicist

Agatha is an astrophysicist and science educator with research experience in dwarf galaxies, stellar evolution, spectroscopy, and observational astronomy. She pairs that research background with a passion for making astronomy accessible, leading astronomy education programs and mentoring young learners in research and observation, bringing complex ideas about the universe to life through engaging outreach.
