Thenuk Devendra, founder of Lumen Academy
Meet Your Tutor

Hi, I'm Thenuk

I started Lumen Academy because I remember exactly what it felt like sitting where you are now — staring down a SAC, unsure if I was actually understanding the content or just memorising it well enough to get by.

Since then, I've worked with students across Chemistry and English, helping them build genuine understanding rather than last-minute cramming — because that's what actually shows up on exam day. I keep class sizes small and sessions personal, so every student gets the attention they need to close their specific gaps.

Outside of tutoring, I'm passionate about making VCE feel less overwhelming — one clear explanation at a time.
