Can I contact my tutor before the second exam? What are the good practices?

Now more and more students are taking part in the postgraduate entrance examination, and the competition for postgraduate entrance examination is becoming more and more fierce. After the results come out, many candidates will want to contact their favorite tutor in advance to communicate their future participation in the retest. However, many people have different views on this practice. Some people think that you can't contact your tutor in advance before the second interview, while others think that contacting your tutor in advance will reduce the strangeness and make the second interview more convenient. In fact, it is not impossible to contact the tutor in advance, just need to master some skills.

First, communicate with the teacher by email and SMS. After the preliminary test results come out, candidates can communicate with the teacher in advance, but the communication method should have some skills. When communicating for the first time, you can choose to send a text message or email to the teacher. In a text message or email, you should explain your exam results and your goals and ambitions. If necessary, you can also write down what awards you won during your undergraduate period, and try to leave a good first impression on the teacher.

Second, try to avoid sending messages to multiple teachers at the same time. What you need to know is that teachers in the same school will communicate with each other, so try to avoid sending messages to multiple teachers at the same time when sending emails to teachers. If it is sent to multiple teachers at the same time, the teachers will feel embarrassed in private communication. Moreover, if many teachers express their intention to keep in touch at the same time, they will have difficulty in making the final choice, and the relationship between teachers and students may be affected if it is not handled well.

Third, seriously study the research direction of the tutor. Another point that should be paid attention to when contacting the tutor in advance is that students should seriously study what the teacher's research direction is. The teacher's research direction has a great influence on his graduate life. If his own direction is different from the teacher's research direction, it may be difficult for the teacher to give you some substantive guidance in future study.
