About Balaji
I first discovered that I had a passion for teaching during my secondary school days. My friends and I would have regular study sessions together when exam season was approaching, and when some of us were struggling with a topic, someone in the group who understood the topic better than us would teach it to us and clear up any confusions we had. Watching an expression of confusion morph into an expression of clarity instilled a satisfaction in me that I just loved! It was then that I realised that I enjoyed teaching others and helping them fall in love with the subjects that I had a passion for. During my A-Levels, I embarked on a journey to improve my teaching methods. I began voluntarily teaching maths, reading and science to Year 4 students at my local primary school. At first, I thought that it would be just like teaching my friends, but then I was quickly presented with a new challenge - How do you teach someone a subject which they have no prior knowledge about? After somewhat struggling to teach my students in my first lesson, I went back and reflected on what went wrong. I then came to the realisation that I was using words that were too complex for younger minds to understand, and that I was unable to put certain concepts into a context which they were familiar with. This experience really made me think about the words and analogies I was choosing for my explanations. From that lesson onwards, I made it a point to actively reflect on each lesson and come up with modified strategies to engage my students better and remove any confusions they had before the lesson ended. I finished my year of teaching at my local primary school with so much more confidence in my ability to teach students of various ages, and with more love for teaching than before I started. In terms of qualifications, I hold 4 A-Levels in Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Physics, scoring a grade A in each. Aside from my passions for science and teaching, I am a keen pianist and singer. I like to spend my down time playing tennis and cricket and going on runs with my friends

At the start of each lesson, the student and I will engage in a short discussion about the topics they want to study. From this, I will identify where the student needs guidance, and I then try to explain the content in a coherent fashion. Since the student is directing the session, I am able to more comprehensively cover the student's prioritised topics and also get to the crux of their misunderstandings, which I can then correct in a coherent and constructive manner. When required, I may discuss my own experiences with certain subjects with the student and what techniques I used to overcome them. This could be through sharing exam techniques, resources and question banks, for example. This method encourages the student to reflect on their learning and develop ideas (which I will aid them in doing) on how they can improve as a student. I will assign a number of problems on the specific topics covered in the session, which we will then go over together. This raises the confidence of the pupil and increases their motivation to succeed.

He is very clever and switched-on. Most importantly he is patient and understanding. He tutored me at GCSE for the sciences and Maths, which helped me achieve 7 and 8s.
Balaji is a kind and passionate tutor who works hard to inspire confidence in his students through his calm, patient approach and strong subject knowledge. His clear and articulate communication style allows him to break down complex topics into simple, digestible explanations, making learning both accessible and engaging. Balaji’s enthusiasm for teaching and his ability to connect with pupils make him an exceptional teacher and mentor.
Balaji is a hard worker and looks out for his peers who may struggle to grasp specific concepts. He is able to translate hard topics into simple student friendly terms and elevate a students confidence in a particular subject. Being able to communicate and relate with the student is one of Balaji’s strengths and this skill enable a close student tutor relationship built on trust. I would thoroughly recommend Balaji as a tutor on super prof to students.
