Help: Arendt & Camus

I'm taking a 4th year politics class that involves some Arendt and 
Camus. These two writers are pretty thick in their writings, and I'm 
having a bit of trouble fully understanding them (I am reading Camus' 
Rebel and Myth of Sisyphus, and Arendt's Eichmann and Between Past and 
Future).

Do you know anyone who might have taken classes in these two writers or 
has good knowledge of them, and is gracious enough to assist me?

I would appreciate any help.
