Hi, my name is Lekshmi and I have a bachelor's degree in Humanities (History, Philosophy, and English) and hold a master's degree in International Affairs. I specialised in Science in high school (Physics, Chemistry, Math, Biology) and in History for my undergraduate studies. I can do private tutoring for students from age seven to fifteen years in Math, Science, English, and Social Studies. I can help with school homework as well.

International Relations / Political Science / International Law / World Politics
Do you need help with navigating the major schools of International Relations (realism, liberalism, constructivism)? Do you struggle with understanding the ongoing political developments on both global and domestic scales? Do the subtleties of International Law seem challenging? In my class, we can thoroughly unpack all the difficulties these questions pose. I am a graduate student of International Relations at Central European University (CEU) in Vienna, Austria. The coursework I have undertaken during my undergraduate and graduate studies has allowed me to gain a comprehensive understanding of the following academic fields: International Relations, Political Science, and International Law. Additionally, my professional experience of working at the 73rd session of the United Nations General Assembly First Committee has awarded me first-hand inside knowledge of the most global international organization - the United Nations.

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.
