About calling the tutor.

It's sensitive during this period. If your tutor is a suggestion with high status, don't go to see him. Just send a short message to briefly explain your purpose! Don't expect him to give you any promises, if he lets you pass, you will be grateful to do it well in the future! I'm a doctoral supervisor's secretary, and I know that many people will ask for a meeting through connections at this time. But many people really don't like this. Do you want to avoid suspicion? Just say a word. Are you afraid of being picked by others if you are excellent? If the relationship is not in place, what you say is useless. If the relationship is in place, one sentence is enough. If you want to buy off others with money, it's not impossible, but I really don't know how much it will cost. Because people don't care about tens of thousands of dollars, they have to bear the risk of others gossiping. Is it worth hundreds of thousands? So in the end, it is suggested that good performance and self-confidence are the king.
