Three types of tutors oops alliteration

There are four types of tutors:

One assists with subjects you are having difficulty in and/or motivates you to excel in an area where your aptitude and interest is/are already quite high. I would probably caution that the previous sentence is too long. I waffled on the is or are!!! Which one is correct??

Another type of tutelage involves increasing your academic awareness. Meta cognition is perhaps somewhat daunting (look that word up) but simply involves 'knowing about knowing' and in the end discovering  'knowing about knowing about knowing.'

Do you use your own intuition or run to 'google?'  Yes the inverted comma is actually in the correct place!!This tutor provides research tips, examination prep, writing skills, essay/ cv/ and cover letter revision. Preparation for scholarships,  bursaries, interviews and etiquette. These are linked. But can you link two paragraphs together smoothly in an essay? Is it possible for you to write an essay, thesis statement or argument without using the first person?? That means 'I' btw!!!

The third tutor simply writes all your papers for you and even does the research, leaving you free to play on your iPhone, go to dance or hockey practice. BAD tutor!!!!

The fourth is a combination of all the above.
