About Taryn


Bio

I am a PhD student specializing in political science (international relations, comparative politics) with extensive experience in academic writing, research and analysis, and organization and time management. Before returning to academia, I spent six years working in public relations and communications, where I honed my skills in writing, editing, and content strategy. This background lets me help students improve their writing, whether for research papers, essays, or professional documents,...

I am a PhD student specializing in political science (international relations, comparative politics) with extensive experience in academic writing, research and analysis, and organization and time management. Before returning to academia, I spent six years working in public relations and communications, where I honed my skills in writing, editing, and content strategy. This background lets me help students improve their writing, whether for research papers, essays, or professional documents, with a strong focus on clarity, structure, and argumentation. Since much of my writing time is self-guided, I have many techniques for working through each stage of the process.

In addition to my professional experience, I have worked as a Teaching Assistant at the university level, providing guidance to students on writing and research methods. I have helped undergraduate students develop their critical thinking skills and refine their writing to meet scholarly standards. My approach to tutoring is tailored to each student—whether they need assistance brainstorming ideas, structuring their paper, or polishing their final draft. I focus on building confidence and independence in their writing by breaking down the process into manageable steps.

Beyond writing, I also tutor in research methods and data analysis, drawing on my academic experience working with both qualitative and quantitative research. Whether you're looking for help with essay writing, editing, research, or structuring a strong argument, I am here to support your academic success. I welcome students of all levels and am committed to providing a patient, engaging, and supportive learning environment.

Study Skills

Study Skills

As a PhD student, time management and organization is absolutely crucial. Most of my work is self-guided, especially as I enter the dissertation stage. I have experience in trying many different techniques for staying motivated, organizing large amount of work, and balancing my work with my mental, physical, and emotional health.
