GUIDED MENTORING
Elevate your research abilities
PhD students are expected to possess foundational scholarly communication skills to complete their doctoral studies and excel as researchers. However, few graduate programs provide formal training in academic reading, writing, publishing, and presenting. Enrolling in our comprehensive Read. Write. Publish. Present. program offers students a transformative opportunity for tailored instruction and personalized mentorship to obtain the skills that are expected for academic success but are rarely formally taught in PhD programs. We're not just another online course, we make it our mission to provide students with accessible, convenient, and consistent mentorship to guide their learning.

MEET THE INSTRUCTOR
I'm Joseph Rios, PhD
Prior to founding Grad Student Academy, I taught and mentored award-winning PhD students as a professor at a Big Ten university. I developed the Read. Write. Publish. Present. program to provide students with formal training on the requisite skills needed for success in their doctoral programs and beyond. The principles taught in this course are those that enabled me to receive a national-level early career researcher award and publish over 40 peer-reviewed journal articles that have been cited more than 2,000 times in academic journals, popular media outlets (e.g., FastCompany), and international policy briefs (e.g., World Bank). I look forward to teaching students everything I know so that they can effectively identify literature, master academic writing, navigate the publication process, and present their research ideas.
