Political Science Tutoring FAQ
The discipline of political science integrates a wide variety of topics, requiring study in such disparate subjects as history, philosophy, law, and statistical methods. It thus necessitates a keen ability to knit together many disciplines of learning into a single, cohesive whole in order to address the many complexities involved in modern governance, as well as in the history of human political life. Political science courses are often taught as part of degrees in history, law, economics, and administration.
Mastering the field of political science takes a great deal of work, and few students are capable of conquering it alone. 51Թ can help students connect with a tutor who can provide the necessary help needed to achieve success in political science studies. Whether studying political science as an undergraduate as part of the core requirements, or a graduate student studying the intricate history of human rights and the complexities of international diplomacy, 51Թ can help each student connect with a tutor in their area. A personal political science tutor can help integrate reading and research into a cohesive analysis of the complex phenomena of political life. Tutors have a wide variety of experience in political matters. They come to this complex field with backgrounds in all of the major disciplines comprising the field of political science. From international affairs to modern political thought and the important methods used to assess public policy, political science tutoring can help students prepare comprehensively for the fields that are critically important for one's immediate needs, as well as their future goals.
Working with a personal political science tutor is advantageous for numerous reasons. One of the most important benefits is the ability to receive the exact assistance required to excel. An experienced tutor will take the time to really get to know their student. This allows them to assess foundational knowledge, identify strengths and weaknesses, and discover each student's learning style. With this information, they are able to create customized learning plans to target missing information while utilizing their student's strengths. The information is then delivered in a method compatible with the student's learning style in order to help them reach their academic goals as quickly as possible. As students encounter new learning challenges, the assessment and instruction can be modified to reflect the most recent information.
Another benefit of working with a political science tutor personally is the ability to schedule sessions when they are most convenient. Students often believe it to be impossible to fit anything else into a schedule already filled with school, family, and work commitments. However, personal tutors are available to schedule meetings during the day, evening, and on weekends. This flexibility makes scheduling a personal tutoring session accessible to most students. Tutoring sessions can take place in a variety of environments, including the student's home, campus, local library, or favorite coffee shop. You can even schedule face-to-face online sessions through our live learning platform if other locations are inconvenient. The ability to choose when and where a tutoring session takes place allows students to easily fit tutoring into their hectic daily schedule.
There are many skilled tutors in the general topics covered in political science, and a number of tutors also have firsthand experience in many of the applicable fields. With such resources easily available, students have no need to be concerned about finding help on even the most complex topics. Finding a tutor who is able to address a student's specific concerns is much easier than ever before. Don't hesitate a moment longer to find the help needed in order to succeed in political science!

Recent Political Science Tutoring Session Notes
The student and continued reviewing for her psychology exam today. She first asked me some questions regarding the material we covered yesterday, and so I tried to clarify some points about the DSM and 19th Century psychology history. Then we moved on to reviewing schizophrenia and cognitive disorders. As we reviewed, I continued adding to the student's study guide and also compiled a vocabulary/key term sheet.
Today the student and I went over Developmental Psychology, Motivation, and Emotion. She struggled with Emotional theories so we went over those quite a bit until she understood them fully. We went over more practice tests. She is doing better and better each session.
During today's session, the student and I worked on preparing her for her final psychology exam. The process was intensive, and we were able to cover a lot of ground. Overall, it was a very productive session.
This was the final tutoring session prior to the student taking the test. We discussed a strategy for addressing the final few guides. The content we discussed was primarily sensation and perception. He had questions about the visual perception process and so we spent most of our time on this area.
In this session, we primarily went over topical issues like the recent Supreme Court cases and current political issues for women. We also examined the culture and women's status within it. The student is moving forward on her areas of focus and the way she would like to investigate/present them. For our next session we'll continue with feminist issues and political issues relating to women.
We went over the five principles of politics, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, federalist papers and anti-federalist papers. We also discussed goals for future sessions. The student wanted to go over what was discussed in the first few lectures of his class. He plans to do extra readings following our session.
