Former professor in quantum chemistry who wants to help you get better at chemistry, physics, and mathematics.

I have known Balakrishnan since we were Graduate students in Chemistry. He has a proven track record as a teacher and instructor. When he was a graduate student, he had an excellent reputation as a teaching assistant. In addition, he has done exceptionally well at teaching junior and senior undergraduates. Bala is an excellent teacher who is very passionate and rigorous, and concerned with student understanding. From talking to former students, they have found him engaging, approachable, knowledgeable and an enthusiastic instructor. Students have said that his diverse teaching strategies helped them learn and engaged them, and that he was always eager to answer questions and that his assignments were helpful and clear. In addition to his many chemistry credentials he has also a teaching degree and this has informed his educational pedagogy. He excelled in teaching in a unique teaching environment and had plans for other teaching innovations, that involved peer learning in chemistry. I would highly recommend Balakrishnan without hesitation for anyone who wants to improve their understanding of science and chemistry.

I recommend Balakrishnan as a tutor. I've worked with him since 2019 and can confirm he's effective at explaining complex concepts clearly. He's patient, reliable, and genuinely cares about student success. His teaching approach makes difficult material accessible without dumbing it down. Good tutor for students at any level.
