Mentorship Testimonials & Quotes

"I needed to connect with an seasoned senior in the Canadian market in order to assist me in my transition from my current country. As a mid-level engineer I was also at a point where I needed to get a clearer picture of where I am headed in my career. Mohamed isn't just an experience leader in his field and tech in general, he also has great understanding of hiring dynamics, market realities, current tech trends, etc. However what really makes it for me is that he is just a nice dude. He really makes me feel like I am not just another zoom call on his calendar. Always very responsive and gives extended material to make sure that I have crystal clear understanding of whatever topic is current. Would highly recommend. "

"Atiyeh is an amazing mentor, and I definitely recommend her! To give some context, I’m 35 years old and currently transitioning into a career in Web Development. I made as much progress as I could on my own through technical studies and personal projects until I realized I needed a mentor to help me take the next step and strategically refine my journey. That’s when I found Atiyeh. Atiyeh is an outstanding mentor with solid expertise in her field (just check her background!). During our mentorship, she has been deeply involved in helping me map out and execute a solid plan to successfully transition into this new career. She provides guidance every step of the way and reviews my progress, from my GitHub profile and CV to the jobs I apply for, always offering continuous feedback. I can see the evolution week by week during our sessions. As a bonus, our conversations are always pleasant and engaging. If you’re looking for guidance on your journey, I wholeheartedly recommend Atiyeh as a mentor!"

"I worked with Gus over the past year to transition from my Product Manager role at an early stage startup to a much larger, and more sophisticated organisation. At the time, I felt like I didn't understand enough about Product, the market, and even the process of job hunting to succeed in finding a job I'd love (particularly given the job market seemed to be going through a correction). Gus was invaluable in helping me systematically tackle each of these perceived 'unknowns', and gain a greater understanding of how to present myself and my experiences to have the best chance of securing a role. Together we looked at: 1. What experience I did have and how to confidently/clearly communicate it 2. What experience/skills I was missing, and how to fill those gaps or justify them in an interview 3. What kind of companies I'd be best suited to, and how to target them 4. How best to 'pitch' myself as a 'product' to this 'market' 5. How to play to my strengths in the interview process and stand out from the crowd It goes without saying that Gus is incredibly experienced with all of the usual job hunt/career transition stuff (rewriting CVs, practicing interview questions, etc.), but Gus' value is much more than that. He was incredibly flexible and understanding throughout the process, allowing us to pause when other priorities halted progress, or jump on last minute calls if something urgent came up. Job hunting can be stressful, and he was very good at offering that less practical but equally valuable emotional support and encouragement. After working together for ~6 months, I ended up landing an exceptional role at a new company (probably a better job than I thought achievable at the time), and given how great my experience was working with him, we kept up the mentoring relationship for the first few months in the new role."

"Nima is beyond great. In our first meeting he said he believed he could bring me to the next level, and even with only a short time working together, I can tell you he definitely will. If I could give him a 10 out of 4, I would. "

"My mentorship with John has been transformative for my transition from graphic design to UX design. Initially overwhelmed by portfolio development, client management, and professional workflows, John's guidance proved instrumental to my growth. John's portfolio feedback was exceptional, providing detailed, actionable critiques on my case studies. His meticulous review of my Figma files significantly improved my projects, from UI interactions and component states to screen transitions, animations, icons, accessibility considerations, and layout strategies for the nurse dashboard and intake dialogs. Beyond design deliverables, John guided me through essential UX processes. He reviewed my usability testing plans, refining participant emails and interview scripts to ensure proper concept validation. He shared resources on developer handoff, anticipated project next steps, and encouraged exploration of alternative solutions. What sets John apart is his genuine commitment to mentee success. He connected me with a startup project and guided me behind the scenes, an invaluable real-world opportunity for a newcomer. He offered to connect me with another startup opportunity and shared resources for job hunting and interviews when our mentorship ended. Throughout our collaboration, John remained supportive, encouraging ("Amazing progress!!!"), and insightful. He adapted our mentorship plan as needed while delivering constructive feedback promptly. Working with John significantly strengthened my portfolio, deepened my understanding of UX processes, and boosted my confidence tremendously. I wholeheartedly recommend John to anyone serious about advancing in UX design. For deep, practical guidance that pushes you to excel while genuinely investing in your success."
