"Your tutoring gave me clarity, confidence, and grounding. You helped me understand the capstone requirements in a way that was clear and digestible.

These projects can feel intimidating at times. You validated that and broke them down for me, making me think, ‘Of course I can do this!’"

You have questions? I have answers.

What is doctoral tutoring?

Doctoral tutoring is an individualized, collaborative process to support your academic success. As your tutor, I will build on your strengths, help refine your skills, and suggest techniques to optimize your growth areas. Our sessions may include working on papers, practicing oral presentations, or deepening your understanding of social work practice, teaching, and leadership concepts. I may introduce you to educational technology tools that enhance your research and writing efficiency and suggest organizational and planning strategies to help you manage your workload.

Is tutoring considered cheating?

Not at all. Tutoring is like working with a writing center or academic coach. I don’t write or complete assignments for you, and I won’t do anything that violates your school’s academic integrity policy. My job is to help you think critically, write clearly, and meet expectations with confidence.

How is tutoring different from advising?

Academic advisors or success coaches focus on course selection, registration, and program logistics. Tutoring is more personalized, focusing on how you learn, write, and grow as a scholar. You can bring in a messy draft or just an idea; we’ll figure out the next step together.

What if I’m already a skilled writer or clinician?

Great! Most of my clients are well-established professionals. Academic tutoring isn’t about remediation. It offers strategy, structure, and an expert partner to help you move efficiently through the program without unnecessary stress.

Can tutoring help me with burnout or low motivation?

Yes! Many students describe tutoring as a sanity-saving part of their semester. I’ll help you build momentum, stay accountable to your goals, and keep your confidence intact, especially during high-stakes, emotionally draining projects in the final year of doctoral education.

What if I run out of sessions before the semester ends?

Many students add services as their needs evolve. For example, you might pair Platinum or Gold with a DEFCON package to prepare for your Capstone defense. Sessions are designed to be stackable and flexible, so you can build the level of support that fits your workload, budget, and timeline.

Supplemental Support Packs are available for clients with Platinum or Gold memberships who have used all their sessions and need additional support to complete the semester. Platinum members may purchase five additional sessions for $350 or ten additional sessions for $700. Gold members may purchase five additional sessions for $350. Standard scheduling, cancellation, and use-by policies apply.

Supplemental Support Packs are a loyalty benefit for students who have invested significantly in DocuMentor services. Their pricing reflects a substantial reduction from my standard hourly rates to honor that commitment.

How are sessions scheduled?

Once you're enrolled, you'll receive a personalized scheduling link that lets you book sessions through Google Calendar. You can see available times, make changes if needed, and even receive automatic reminders. It's a fast, efficient system designed with busy doc students in mind.

I have more questions.

I'm happy to offer a free 15-minute consultation to any student considering tutoring or editing. Please email me to schedule a meeting. I'd love to hear more about your goals and see if we’re a good fit.
