Introduction to Contemporary Political Theories and their developments

Political Theories mainly explore the theories around political structures that make up different societies. Introduction to Political Theories, as the name suggests provides students with explanations and insights into these seemingly overwhelming political theories, enabling one to understand their intricacies and evolution. These classes will prove to be of much use for someone who is just starting a bachelor's degree in political science. Also, students who are interested in International Relations might find these classes useful due to the context of the course being wholly international. The theories can get complicated quickly real soon and these classes will serve the purpose of getting the concepts cleared thoroughly.

The classes will cover the following topics:
Liberalism and its various forms
Socialism and its variants
Communism and its developments
Feminism and its evolution
Understanding the role of theories in historical and contemporary geopolitical conflicts
The Liberalism and Communism debates
Addressing the Glass Ceiling in Feminism

The resources will be provided by me and shall be plenty. Being a scholar myself, there won't be any shortage of subject material to study and understand. Moreover, the classes can be modified to a reasonable extent in accordance with the student's syllabus or requirements.

In a world where everyone's political opinions are getting quickly inflated and highlighted through social media, they can also affect mental health to some extent. Then, the only solution that remains is to understand the theories better. All of these billions of opinions are merely versions of the developments of a handful of these political theories. Owing to the nature of the classes they may also be useful for people who are curious about topics such as economics, political science, and history.

Extra information

It is adviced to carry a laptop or even just phone to access digital resources which the classes will pick up from.
Owing to the nature of my teaching no prior preparation is necessary for these classes. I shall be using a descriptive approach based on logic and reasoning based on comparative analysis.

About Me

I have been an academic student for about 20 years of my life, and as a teacher, I've been for around 10. I come from a family of doctorates in biotechnology, botany, microbiology, taxonomy, and others. But I hold some other subjects dear. The 'trinity' in particular. Political Science, Economics, and History. Over the years I've studied them in forms ranging from Philosophy, Philanthropy, Psychology, and Anthropology, to Human Resources, International Politics, International Law, and Marketing. Additionally, I've got a few grandparents who have studied Sanskrit, Vedic Sciences, and Classical Music. So I've got a bit of that in me as well.
Something less academic about me would be that I really am into adventure sports. Particularly white water rafting which I've done across The Himalayas. Another thing that I really associate myself with is being a motorcycle rider. Driving in the mountains is a cheaper alternative for therapy and I'm an international student so life finds a way.
Speaking of life, I currently am a CIPD Associate HR based in London and have lived here for slightly more than a year now. All my life I've grown around learning and imparting knowledge. I was involved in two national debating circles and about a dozen international and national model united nations across my early college years but I didn't miss the better parts as well. I have tried my hands at painting, singing, poetry, and writing at both national levels. Till now I have taught and educated about a thousand students from all walks of life and in that process i got educated as well. Looking forward to more students now.

Education

Completed schooling in humanities (Psychology, Political Science and Economics) with an overall percentage of 95% and a 100% in Political Science.
Attained a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science from the University of Delhi. CGPA 6.9 with 11 distinction modules out of the total 15.
Completed a Master's Degree in International Human Resource Management from the University of Westminster. Graduated with Merit and Distinctions in core modules.

Experience / Qualifications

I have about 6 years of experience teaching, both casually and formally.
In terms of qualifications, I am an approved CIPD Associate Member.

Political Communication, Public Speaking and Presentation
The course module is adapted to the student. The summary will be communicated during the first lesson. I teach you to speak and/or write with an approach to the sciences of political communication, international relations, social and human sciences while convincing the person(s) in front of you with several negotiation techniques. ▪️ The techniques used will improve your level of confidence in your public presentations and storytelling. ▪️ Political communication is about the creation and exchange of ideas and opinions between citizens, public officials, political institutions, and related entities, such as the media. It includes discourse throughout the political process in local, state, national, and international political systems, as well as how political information can be exploited for political ends or to achieve political goals. People with a background in political communication may work in policy advice, foreign service, market research, public relations, journalism, and digital media, community organizing, lobbying, political campaigning, or other related fields. ▪️ BUT! in order to achieve your goal you must master public speaking which is the process or act of giving a speech in front of a live audience. Public speaking is generally understood to be formal, face to face, speaking from a single person to a group of listeners.

Pedro
38-year-old PhD student offers classes and tutoring at secondary and university levels for any area of Humanities
I have taken a few years off to complete my PhD in History and I would not like to stop teaching and learning in the meantime. I guess it is a cliché, but it is amazing what I have learned by teaching. If anything can distinguish me, it is that my personal experience has shown me that, when it comes to learning, complexities such as age are simply that. Experience in national and international schools. Possibility of classes in English (C1).

Political Science, History and International Studies Classes
History and Political Science are intertwined subjects with multidisciplinary approaches. To study one of these, one must understand the other. I offer classes that teach either of the two subjects, as well as both (if required) with aspect to the other. How often have we wondered about historical events with respect to Politics? Do we know that the Romanovs were related to the British Royal Family and how their brutal killings was shaped by geopolitics of the era, or how Hitler's death was a highly controversial political debate? You see how history and politics cannot be separated. It is also undeniable that having knowledge of the two subjects can help you achieve higher marks and credits, as well as a deeper understanding and passion for the subjects.

IB SUBJECTS TUTORING - ECONOMICS, English Language and Literature, Global Politics
My teaching style is student-centered and adaptive, focusing on making learning both enjoyable and highly effective. I believe in creating an interactive and supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and engaging in discussions. I tailor lessons to meet each student's unique learning style, combining real-world examples, visual aids, and structured exercises to simplify complex topics. My goal is to build a strong conceptual foundation while encouraging critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Having excelled in the IB Diploma myself, achieving 6s and 7s in all the subjects I teach at higher level—Economics, Politics and, English Language and Literature —I know firsthand what it takes to succeed in the program. I understand the pressure students face and provide guidance on both mastering content and developing strong exam strategies, including time management and familiarity with past papers. My students benefit from my deep subject knowledge and my passion for helping them achieve their best potential. Many of my students have shown marked improvement in both their confidence and academic performance. Whether you aim to boost your grades, prepare for exams, or better understand the material, I am committed to helping you succeed.

Téo
Business school student (EDHEC) gives math and English lessons from middle school to high school in Lille. Experience as a tutor at EDHEC
I mainly teach math lessons from middle school to high school. Before starting the lessons, I need to get in touch with the student to know their level, the areas where they want to improve and their objectives. Depending on the level, I adapt the work seen in class to the different points of improvement and suggest exercises consistent with what the student is stuck on. At the same time, I go over point by point the elements that were not for the student (in the Ds and the questions) I rework the exercises seen in class. Finally, and this is the most important, I advise the student on his working methods, with what state of mind to approach the exercises. I can also provide homework help in subjects other than mathematics: I got 17 in the HEC philosophy exams and I didn't get below 18 in subjects such as SES, Philosophy and history in the BAC. I recommend at least one math lesson per week in order to take stock of the week; it is regularity that allows progress. As a Tutor at EDHEC I already have experience of courses with high schools. I am a calm, composed and educational person. In terms of math, I got 18 in my math baccalaureate and then I went to a HEC preparatory class at Louis-Le-Grand in advanced math where I had more than 12 hours of math per week.
