Trichy: Pandemic has converted many ordinary people into demigods and one such scenario occurred in Tamil Nadu's Trichy when a 20-year-old B Tech student started helping students learn to code. When students across the globe became stranded without going to school due to the pandemic, Vishwathika, a resident of Trichy, started online teaching physics and to code to the Indians as well as for the international students.
Amid lockdown, other EduTech companies came forward to impart coding to kids and this has in return flared up criticism on social media. But, when the 20-year-old nonchalantly helped students learn she is being hailed as a demigod as to for what the students have missed the school academics are getting compensated with better skills. Rightly so, the children are being armoured with better skills.

Vishwathika has gone through something which others have been undergoing in the lockdown but without sitting idle she started to brush up her skills by teaching others. "Due to the closure of my college, I've been attending online classes & had some spare time in the evening," she said on Friday.
"One of my relatives contacted me for teaching his son coding & physics. He liked my classes & recommended me to his friends. Presently, I teach 20 students including from the US, UK, Malaysia, Singapore & earn around Rs 30,000-Rs 50,000 a month," signed off Vishwathika.
