"I'm a math teacher, that wanted to switch to data science, but honestly, I didn't know where to start. Anastasia took the time to understand my background and what kind of jobs I was interested in. She didn't just focus on getting me any job; she helped me figure out where I wanted to go in the world of data science. Our talks were really helpful. We discussed my skills, what I liked, and what I didn't and through these talks and some exercises, I developed an understanding of what I really want to do. What I loved most about working with her was the support. Finding a job is tough, and there were moments when I felt a bit lost. But Anastasia was always there, cheering me up. She shared so many useful things with me - study materials, tips for interviews, guiding me till the very last step - it felt like having a friend who genuinely wanted to help. I highly recommend Anastasia. "

That way he provides really good advice tailored to your unique situation. I am always looking forward to our sessions!"

"Dan has been a game-changer in my development journey. His mentorship not only boosted my confidence but also played a key role in landing me a new frontend role. Dan's teaching approach is both effective and engaging. The weekly tasks he assigned allowed me to apply theoretical knowledge in a practical setting. Our review sessions were enlightening, providing a deep understanding of the code and the rationale behind certain methodologies. This hands-on approach not only improved my technical skills but also enriched my problem-solving abilities. His support was crucial during challenging moments. For instance, dealing with interview rejections can be demoralising, but Dan's guidance shifted my perspective. He stressed that rejections are a normal part of the professional journey and not a measure of personal skills. This mindset adjustment proved crucial as I navigated the job search with renewed resilience. If you're a developer looking for a mentor who goes the extra mile, I highly recommend Dan. His dedication and practical approach create an ideal learning environment. Grateful for his impact on my journey, I'm confident others will benefit just as much from his mentorship. "

"I have to say Abhishek is truly an exceptional mentor for anyone interested in becoming a better engineer. I was referred to him by another mentor on MentorCruise, and I couldn't be happier with the recommendation! His expertise in front-end development is outstanding, as he knows how to share knowledge in a way that's engaging and easy to understand. At the start of the mentorship, we devised a plan with tasks that were tailored to my goals, ensuring that every step we take is purposeful and aligned with what I wanted to achieve (preparing for job hunting), rather than just aimlessly wandering. As of now, the plan has been progressing smoothly and I am quite happy with the progress so far. What I think sets Abhishek apart in my eyes is his genuine care for my success, which keeps me motivated to learn and grow. With Abhishek's guidance, I feel confident that I'm improving as a developer every day and I can't recommend him enough. Thanks, Abhishek!"
