Consultation
A short conversation before anything is arranged.
A calm 15–20 minute call to understand what's going wrong and whether I'm the right person to help. No obligation, and no sales pitch.

Who am I helping?
Before we speak
Useful things to have to hand
Not essential — but they make the conversation far more specific.
Recent assessment
A recent test, mock or report with a grade on it.
A piece of homework
Ideally one your child found hard.
Exam board
If you know it — otherwise the school can tell you.
