Experience
Sometimes students seek outside support because the material is just plainly difficult; most of the time we seek outside support because the material has us feeling "too overwhelmed" to approach the assignment/s or move forward with projects. As an experienced creative/analytical/expository writing tutor I help students to organize their content, increase cohesiveness and coherence in their writing, and clarify their thinking. I also teach students how to use empirically-validated tools they can use, moving forward, to instantly recalibrate their nervous systems to overcome blocks to procrastination and overwhelm. In this way, my services include not only english/writing support, but neurological support and academic overwhelm coaching. For this reason, I suggest minimum of 2 sessions. However, above all, students' expectations are priority. You tell me what you most want out of our time together, and we'll focus on that!
