College Transfer & Crisis Support

Is your college student struggling academically, emotionally, or with the college transition?

Let Professional Tutoring walk with your student through these difficult times, leveraging our expertise and connections in higher education to help them succeed in the challenges ahead.

The College Student Support Services (CSSS) package begins with the CSSS Initial Consultation (IC) to assess the student’s current situation and needs. 

For students finding college life overwhelming and struggling academically, Academic Coaching  and Academic Tutoring provide the organizational and tutoring support they need to regain control and succeed. 

For students questioning if they’ve chosen the right college or university and considering transferring, or navigating the move from community college to a four-year institution our Transfer Coaching  is here to help. 

For those who have reached a breaking point—stopped attending classes, facing disciplinary charges, or have been suspended or expelled—our Crisis Coaching offers personalized guidance and support.

I just made the Dean’s list at USC! Thank you for helping me reach this goal!

We used Professional Tutoring in a different way than most of the other reviewers. Our son was a freshman in college struggling to balance his fun social life while keeping focused on his academics. While he didn’t need help with his coursework, he did need help keeping his daily schedule/assignments in check. Emma Stevens to the rescue! She honed his executive functioning skills and met with him via Zoom/FaceTime weekly to keep him on track. He loves his college life and is now a successful student implementing the skills Emma taught him. “Saved me”…our son said. “Tuition insurance”….we, his parents said! Each of us could not be happier with our experience and outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

Help! We do not know where to start. Everything is going wrong for my college student and no one is sharing much information with my spouse and me.

We understand. When our kids are not doing well or are hurt, we parents want to rush in and help. This is hard when our children are adults in name but are not fully capable of managing crises. Whether your student hates school and wants out immediately, or is failing or not attending classes, has been placed on academic or behavioral suspension or expulsion, there are solutions. Colleges want students to stay and to graduate and sometimes, families and college students just need some guidance and hand-holding to get out of tight spots. 

Can you help us move forward? We are desperate!

Yes, we can. You will be in good hands. Over three decades, we have walked alongside many students and families in crisis. We are adept at working with colleges and developing remediation plans including transfer and reentry for struggling students. 

My student is failing out of college!

It may feel like the sky is falling and that your student is the only one who has ever struggled. This is not the case. Colleges have many failsafe programs to support students in difficult times. We are here to help you access these programs and provide our own program support to get your student back up on their feet. 

My student has been suspended, expelled, sanctioned, arrested. We need help NOW!

We are here now to help. Rest assured. Call us and we can begin today to find solutions. 703.830.7037. [email protected]

Are our meetings confidential?

Yes, all interactions with Professional Tutoring are confidential. We will discuss with you and your student what specifics need to be shared with others including your student’s college or university.

How can Professional Tutoring help?

Professional Tutoring knows students and we know the landscape of higher education. We are here to meet, assess, develop a plan, and work together to find solutions. As they say, this, too, shall pass. 

Are you able to work directly with our student’s university?

Yes, we will need a FERPA release from families or students over 18 years old. This document, similar to a medical HIPPA release, allows us to discuss student records and needs with colleges and universities. 

What kind of experience do you have in supporting students in the worst of times?

We have all kinds of experience from students unable to get out of bed, failing classes, dismissals, suspensions and expulsions, honor code violations, and even arrests and jail time. We have had students come to us after suffering abuse or criminal violation. We treat them with kid gloves and kindness. In every single instance, we have been able to help our students and make a difference. And every single one has continued their studies. 

Do you have contacts in the higher education (university) realm?

Yes, we have spent many years working with admissions and other university staff. We are known and respected in the industry. 

Are you always successful in helping students through “disaster recovery”?

Yes, we have never failed in disaster recovery. 

Do you work with attorneys and medical professionals?

Yes, we have lists of local attorneys and counselors that we share with clients. If a client has already hired other professionals, we work hand-in-hand with them. We help students put together a holistic story and plan to share with their colleges/universities on their road to recovery or return.

Do you include parents in these processes given that students are over 18?

Yes, we work with our adult students to agree on what can be shared with parents. If we believe that a student is in danger, we advocate strongly for bringing parents into the discussion.
