What is a 1-1 Session?

The session...

generally lasts for an hour, but can run shorter or longer depending on your needs.

The Adviser...

is here to help you brainstorm topics and theses, construct outlines, revise drafts, and post-outline.

The writer (You)...

shares their work or their screen with the Adviser, keeping the pen in the writer's hand, ready to mark, revise, and take ownership of their writing.

FAQs

A: Of course! When filling out the scheduling form, just select their name to see when they're available.

Or, if you drop in for a session, just let us know with whom you'd like to schedule your appointment, and we can see when we can get you two scheduled.

A: Yes, although availability will vary.

A: There is no "penalty" for missing an appointment because we've found that, in our community here at Saint Mary's, it is rare for anyone to miss an appointment without calling us beforehand.

If you are unable to make your appointment, please let us know right away, so we can serve another writer who might otherwise be turned away.
