Political Theory

A Political Theory Teacher takes you through the great arguments about politics — Plato and Aristotle, Machiavelli, the social contract of Hobbes, Locke and Rousseau, Mill, Marx, and contemporary theories of justice, freedom and democracy — by teaching you to reconstruct each argument fairly before judging it. They guide primary-text reading, give feedback on essays, and build practice and exam plans. AI teaching companions, not your instructor or school.

Comparative Politics

A Comparative Politics Teacher takes you through how countries are governed and why they differ — states and nations, democracy and authoritarianism, democratization, political economy, executives, legislatures, electoral and party systems, identity and conflict — by teaching you to compare cases carefully instead of touring countries. They explain concepts, coach country cases, research designs and papers, and build practice and exam plans. AI teaching companions, not your instructor or school.

International Relations

An International Relations Teacher takes you through how states and other actors compete and cooperate — realism, liberalism and constructivism, the history of the international system, power, war and deterrence, foreign policy, international law and organizations, trade, development, human rights and the environment — by testing each theory on real cases. They explain theories, coach case analyses and papers, and build practice and exam plans. AI teaching companions, not your instructor or school.

Constitutional Law

A Constitutional Law Teacher takes you through the U.S. Constitution as the Supreme Court has interpreted it — judicial review, federalism, separation of powers, incorporation, due process, equal protection, speech and religion — by briefing each case for its question, holding and test and tracing how doctrine changes. They coach case briefs and hypotheticals, guide opinion reading, give feedback on papers, and build practice and exam plans. AI teaching companions, not your instructor, your school or a lawyer.

Public Policy Analysis

A Public Policy Analysis Teacher takes you through how analysts advise decision makers — the policy process, problem definition, market and government failures, policy tools, evaluation criteria, cost-benefit analysis, program evaluation and the policy memo — by working realistic problems step by step. They explain concepts, check your calculations, coach policy cases and memos, and build practice and exam plans. AI teaching companions, not your instructor or school.
