About Me

Hello, I am Akshita Balaji. I’m 17 years old and I’m a senior at Westfield High School. I’ve had a passion for spelling and a deep love for language since I was a kid, and I’ve been competing in bees for as long as I can remember. I won my class spelling bee for the very first time in third grade, and competed in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 2019, my sixth-grade year. After that, I was inclined to win my county spelling bee again in 7th grade, but unfortunately, it was canceled due to Covid-19.

In 2021, I made it to the Scripps National Spelling Bee for the second time. I made it to the Semifinals of the competition and tied for 21st. I also competed in many other national spelling bees, such as NorthSouth National Finals 2021 (Placed 2nd), SpellPundit Online National Spelling Bee (Placed 3rd). After losing eligibility to compete, I took inspiration from my spelling coach and started my own coaching business. For the last four years, I’ve been coaching aspiring national spellers and helping them achieve their dreams.

It is a honor to learn from a scripps spelling bee star. Akshita is very patient and always explains everything in detail. She has a unique way to teach spelling and roots. I enjoy learning from her and look forward to her classes every week.
