Who is a Mentor?
A mentor is an experienced and trusted advisor who provides guidance, support, and advice to someone less experienced (the mentee) in order to help them grow personally or professionally. A mentor shares their knowledge, expertise, and insights, helping the mentee navigate challenges, make informed decisions, and achieve their goals. Mentorship is often a relationship focused on development, whether it's career progression, skill-building, or personal growth.
Who is a Mentee?
A mentee is an individual who seeks guidance, support, and advice from a more experienced person—called a mentor—in order to learn, grow, and achieve specific personal, academic, or professional goals. The mentee is typically less experienced or skilled in a particular area and benefits from the mentor's knowledge, expertise, and feedback. A mentee actively participates in the mentoring relationship by asking questions, setting goals, and applying the advice or strategies provided by the mentor.

To become a mentor, you need to sign up on the platform, create a mentor profile, and provide information about your skills, experience, and areas of expertise. After submitting your profile, our team will review it and verify that it meets the platform’s requirements. Once approved, you’ll be able to start accepting mentee requests.
2. What are the expectations for mentors?
Mentors are expected to provide guidance, support, and feedback in a professional manner. Sessions should focus on helping mentees achieve their career goals through constructive advice, goal-setting, and actionable steps. It’s important to maintain a positive, respectful, and supportive environment throughout your interactions.
3. How much can I charge for my mentoring sessions?
You can set your own rates based on your experience and expertise. However, our platform provides guidelines for pricing, especially for newcomers, to ensure consistency across different mentors. You will also have the ability to adjust your rates at any time based on your preferences and demand.
4. How do I schedule sessions with mentees?
Once you are approved as a mentor, you will have access to the platform’s scheduling tool. You can set your availability, and mentees can book sessions directly through your profile. You will receive notifications when a mentee requests a session, and you can accept or decline the request based on your availability.
5. What if I need to cancel a session?
If you need to cancel a session, please inform the mentee as soon as possible. The platform allows you to reschedule or cancel sessions, but we encourage mentors to maintain a reliable schedule to ensure the best experience for mentees. If a mentor cancels frequently, it could affect their reputation on the platform.
6. How do I get paid for my sessions?
Payments are processed through the platform after each session is completed. You will receive your payment via the payment method you set up in your profile (e.g., UPI, Razorpay, Stripe, PayPal, bank transfer, etc.). The platform takes a small commission on each session, and the remaining amount is sent to your account.
7. What happens if I have a dispute with a mentee?
If a dispute arises, we encourage you to first try to resolve it directly with the mentee. If the issue persists, you can contact our support team, and we’ll help mediate and find a resolution. We have a strict code of conduct, and both mentors and mentees are expected to behave professionally and respectfully.
8. Can I mentor multiple mentees at the same time?
Yes, you can mentor multiple mentees simultaneously, but we encourage you to be mindful of your availability. It’s important to maintain quality in your sessions, so ensure that you’re not overbooking yourself.
9. How can I improve my mentor profile to attract more mentees?
Make sure your profile is complete and accurately reflects your skills, experience, and areas of expertise. Including a professional photo, detailed bio, and past accomplishments can help build trust with potential mentees. You can also ask for reviews or testimonials from previous mentees to enhance your profile’s credibility.
10. What resources can I use to help me as a mentor?
We provide training resources, including articles, webinars, and best practices for effective mentoring. We also offer mentorship guidelines on how to structure sessions, set goals, and track mentee progress. Additionally, you can access a community of mentors for support and advice.
