how mentorship actually works
you're not watching pre-recorded videos and hoping for the best. every course includes live sessions where you can ask questions about your specific projects. mentors review your work and tell you exactly what needs to change.
between sessions, you get access to a private community where mentors answer questions throughout the week. no waiting days for feedback.
direct feedback
mentors review your actual work and explain what to improve. not generic advice.
live sessions
weekly calls where you can ask about projects you're stuck on.
community access
connect with other students and get help outside of class hours.
