I hope it is obvious that I expect proper spelling and punctuation. I will be happy to answer questions via e-mail, and encourage you to talk to me about any concerns that you might have.  I’m happy to look over parts of your essay, providing that you give me sufficient notice, so if you are unsure about something, please get in touch. Your thesis is your anchor; make sure that at the end of each paragraph, you check that your point somehow relates to the thesis you are trying to prove, and it is not a digression.
