This class will allow you to thoroughly develop your English writing skills, specifically for academic purposes.

More specifically the goal of each consolation will be to:

- Aid in research, planning and structuring
- Ensure the thesis is sound and presented in a logical and coherent manner
- Teach correct syntax, idiom and phrasing
- Improve flow, readability and cohesiveness
- Educate on proper grammar and punctuation practices
- Provide citation and referencing support to assure complete academic integrity

I strive to create a collaborative environment, in which the student leaves feeling empowered, and confident to take on new opportunities.

I have been trained by the International College Reading and Writing Association, and have earned a level 3 Masters Certification. Additionally, I have over 2 years experience tutoring university level students and have had great success.

I also hold a BA in International Relations, of which I graduated suma cum laude, and am currently working through an MSc in Urban Studies.

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.

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. I used to tutor my friends in school and would consider myself a teacher who can explain things well. As I am starting my professional journey in tutoring, I will focus more on your needs rather than have my own teaching system.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!
