As a PhD in Political Science with over 12 years of university teaching experience, I specialize in helping undergraduate students make sense of complex topics in Canadian, US and comparative politics, research methods, public management, and the social sciences. My lessons are clear, discussion-based, and tailored to your academic goals—whether you're preparing for exams, writing essays, or just trying to engage more deeply with the material. I focus on building critical thinking and communication skills, while making the subject genuinely fascinating. My approach turns passive studying into active learning—so you’ll remember more, think sharper, and write stronger.

I've known Mikael for a very long time and I'm very impressed with all his knowledge and ability to explain things, give sources and reason things out. He's reliable and committed to sharing his knowledge. If I needed tutoring in the pol sci field I would absolutely turn to Mikael!
Mikael was my professor for two separate third year university courses.
Mikael is an excellent teacher who is able to take complex topics in political science, and break them down into very understandable chunks. He is patient, caring, and clearly cares about his students. He is passionate about his field of study, and he inspired me to study it more passionately. Moreover, if you have difficulty with a concept or idea - professor Hellstrom is comfortable sitting with you on the concept until you understand it, rather than steamrolling on to whatever is next. I remember submitting my final paper for my course, and him sending it back to me; with guidance on where I needed to develop my ideas.
Beyond that, Mikael takes a creative and immersive approach to teaching like no other I've had before. Mikael excels at creating unique roleplay scenarios to help you drop into the reality of the things you are studying. I still vividly remember the experience of being a part of a mock newspaper agency in soviet Russia - and having to experience the reality of living in a surveillance police-state (in a safe and engaging way). This fit my learning style perfectly, and I remember feeling excited to complete Mikael's homework, even when I was burnt out from reading pages on pages of endless text.
It was a privilege to be Mikael's student, and I hope you give him the chance to give you the same experience.View more recommendations
