I didn't feel confident coding, understanding bugs, or feeling I could be autonomous. But I decided to take a chance and leave my position and pursue a mentorship full-time. I wanted to learn something current, fulfilling, and enjoyable in order to bring more to the table as a developer to a company and feel well-rounded as a developer myself. So I decided on the JavaScript/React/Node space. I chose Naz because not only were her technical skills impressive but so was the way she looked at mentoring and teaching. When I began my time with Naz, we started from the ground up. I went from a basic understanding of JavaScript to tackling React and Node projects where I could guide myself into learning more when knowledge gaps arose. Naz helped me understand my learning patterns and areas to improve. I even took on new challenges like blogging on Medium or helping others with coding in my spare time. It's honestly amazing this was all within the span of 6-9 months. I feel so much more self-sufficient and was able to overcome a lot of my insecurities as a developer. Because of my time with Naz, I am entering my latest role as a full-stack JavaScript engineer at a startup! This is something I couldn't imagine myself doing prior to this experience and honestly, I encourage any developer that is struggling with direction to take on a mentorship program because not only will you understand more technically, but you will understand more about yourself and your abilities!” Read more Show less

And I learned a lot of things, we started with the basics of JS and little by little we evolved into real projects. His teaching method is excellent with a good sense of sharing and especially to make me autonomous. His way of reviewing the code is top notch with detailed explanations and supporting documents for better understanding. She is an excellent mentor that I will recommend to anyone who wants to grow in their career, she is always there to help with a very good pedagogy. I thank her for all her commitment and help.” Read more Show less

She is high skilled person, that's why I can receive high quality programming advice. Also, I can get other benefit, which is about mentality. She is working at Netflix and the people who are around her also have high level skills. Therefore, every time I hear her and those people's stories, I think if I study hard and acquire skills, I can do amazing things. I am motivated!! Thank you!” Read more Show less

Naz is a true professional and always knows how to help you grow both technically and personally. What impressed me the most about Naz was her knowledge in technical fields as well as soft skills, and also her ability to constantly challenge me and push me out of my comfort zone. I'm very grateful for everything I've learned from her” Read more Show less

My actual review would be 0 if it were possible. From the beginning of the mentorship a few weeks ago there was a huge lack of communicated on Naz's part. Constant rescheduling minutes before sessions and she doesn't seem interested in actually helping you as a mentee. This is a very important goal of mine to become a software engineer in order to improve my life and that of my family. I feel discouraged and disappointed to say the least. ” Read more Show less
