I took the Google UX Certificate course on Coursera to gain the skills needed for a career transition. Since it’s a self-paced program, I often found myself working in tunnel vision and lacking professional feedback on my case studies. That’s when I started looking for mentorship and found Tony on MentorCruise. This experience has been perfect for my needs. I not only get live 1:1 sessions but also prompt feedback and support tailored to my challenges, without having to commit to a bootcamp that's out of my budget. After just one month of mentorship with Tony, I’ve noticed a significant change in my job application process. Before, I applied to many roles but rarely heard back from recruiters. With Tony’s guidance, I’ve been able to polish my work more strategically and efficiently. As a result, I’ve started receiving interview invitations and feel much more confident about the process. Tony is highly professional, experienced, and supportive, and I truly enjoy working with him.

I chose Tony as my mentor for his refreshingly no-nonsense approach—and he delivered. He’s direct, knowledgeable, and reliable, which makes our sessions both engaging and effective. Thanks to his guidance, I’m revamping and expanding my portfolio, and it’s becoming far more impactful.
