International Relations Tutors : 1-1 International Relations Preparation

Shubhankar is a Radcliffe scholar reading for DPhil in International Relations at the Department of Politics and International Relations and University College at the University of Oxford. He works on the intersections of history of international thought and political theory. He is also currently teaching the core International Relations course to PPE students at Merton College, Oxford.

Before his studies at DPIR, he gained an MSc in International Relations (Research) from the London School of Economics and a BA (Hons) in Political Science from Ramjas College, University of Delhi. He enjoys having in-depth conversations about world affairs, politics and history. Both as a teacher and student, he emphasizes the values of hard work and close readings to improve critical thinking and writing skills.

Beyond my academic background in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics, I am deeply passionate about fostering engagement and curiosity in learning. My experience as President of the Debate Club and participation in societies such as PPE Football, Debate Society, and PPE Society have sharpened my ability to communicate complex ideas clearly—an essential skill for tutoring.

Additionally, my involvement in Manchester’s Kabaddi and Kho Societies, where I competed in regional and national tournaments, has given me a strong sense of discipline, teamwork, and resilience—qualities I bring into teaching. Organizing and leading initiatives, such as the Diwali Ball during my tenure as Vice President of Manchester Hindu Society, has reinforced my ability to manage and inspire groups effectively.

I am eager to bring this enthusiasm and strategic mindset to tutoring, helping students navigate their learning journey with confidence and curiosity. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my diverse interests and experiences can support student development.
