What mentees say
5 out of 5 stars
I worked with Iona to prepare for system design and frontend coding interviews. Since I hadn't gone through this type of interview process before, I was looking for someone who could help me identify my weak points through mock interviews and provide actionable feedback. Iona was incredibly attentive, patient, and knowledgeable. She really took the time to listen, understand where I was struggling, and help me improve. What I particularly appreciated was how much she emphasized not just improving my technical skills, but also learning how to better demonstrate my abilities during interviews. Every session was insightful, and I learned a lot from her guidance and encouragement. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone preparing for technical interviews!

Session: Mock interview
4 out of 5 stars
Ioana is a great mentor. She is able to assess the gaps in interview presentation. She also helped highlight the important aspects of interview answers to come across as a more senior engineer. Ioana is motivating and very amicable to work with. What could help more is having a better and more up to date idea about the current industry interview standards. That helps candidate prepare accordingly.
