Helped me move to the next step with all my projects and issues I had."

Andrey works for Amazon—a company that places significant emphasis on behavioral interviews during their hiring process. He has experience on both sides of the table, as an interviewer and as a job seeker, giving him a holistic understanding of what is required. He approached our mock interview with the seriousness of a real one, asking pertinent questions and challenging my responses. Afterwards, I received very detailed feedback highlighting areas for improvement. Additionally, Andrey provided me with tools and advice to enhance my storytelling skills.

In the first two meetings, we put together a job search strategy, sharpened up my resume together, and began preparing for behavioral and technical interviews. As we worked together, I started getting past more initial screeners for jobs and felt more confident in my interview performance. Paul is also a great thought-partner for projects and always presses for the "why" in design or business decisions. In addition, he is extremely empathetic and can understand a professional situation from multiple people's perspectives."

"Moving out of a product role into more of a growth-focused position, I recognized a need for direct and personal guidance for continued career growth. I selected Taras because although he is in a different industry, his profile and accomplished experience mirror those skills I was seeking to cultivate. Thus far, Taras has exceeded my expectations. His business intuition and understanding of process improvement and efficiency are exemplary. But beyond this, he genuinely and empathetically seeks to understand the challenges around my specific business and culture, contextualized by my personal goals. His unique perspective on problems and solutions, underscored by his own achievements, have been extremely helpful. Every meeting, Taras poses and works through direct and relevant questions with me then assigns a specific objective(s) for the next meeting. He takes copious notes on what we discussed and, after each meeting, provides a summary as well as my next steps. Honestly, I've found myself looking forward to my calls with Taras more than I'd ever anticipated. If you're considering him for a mentor, don't wait a minute longer and just do it. Seriously, he is awesome!"

"Jason was a wonderful mentor who helped me gain my digital confidence. Jason has a warm and friendly approach to his mentoring which allowed me to feel comfortable asking any questions without judgement. His knowledge was second to none, and his wealth of experience meant I always knew I was getting the most accurate source of information. Jason really went the extra mile - he was always on hand, no matter the time, to help with last-minute campaign-related questions. As a Digital Lead, this was incredibly helpful when making those final crucial decisions. If you're looking for a tutor in Jason, here's what you can expect: - A pro at navigating chaotic marketing situations. Whether the website is down, or a major last-minute campaign change - he is always on hand to help. - Your priorities will become clearer. As someone who is navigating a team of 7 across multiple brands, Jason was fantastic at setting some clear marketing priorities. This had a huge positive effect on my leadership skills and marketing output. - An honest, down-to-earth approach. I believe honesty in marketing is key, there's so much to navigate and sometimes you need someone to tell you to head south not north. Jason is fantastic at providing honest yet friendly advice, making me a far better marketer as a result. - An enthusiastic/ passionate marketer. His drive and love for marketing made communicating/ bouncing around ideas really easy. He was always on hand to guide my thoughts in the right direction. His approach is not to take over, but to help you get there yourself. - Round-the-clock support & fast response to messages. All in all, I found the experience extremely helpful and would highly recommend Jason as a tutor no matter your experience level. I'm sure I will be working with Jason again in future."

"Rick is the absolute best mentor I've ever had on Mentorcruise. I've been a software engineering/CS mentee for a long time (2+ years) and used several platforms for mentorship: Preply, TakeLessons, etc. in addition to this one, but he is the best engineer I've ever had the pleasure to learn from. He has given great insight and effective feedback as to how I could clear Big Tech Interviews and has been extremely supportive the entire time. Rick truly cares about his mentees and has irrefutable experience and skills to take their career to the next level. Rick helped me secure a SWE I role in a brutal job market and I can't thank him enough. I would even go so far to argue that *not* having Rick as a mentor (or someone like him) would be a huge missed opportunity for your development. Definitely recommend him!"

"Mentorship with Sara has been invaluable and completely worth it! Since we started working together in August 2024, Sara has helped me gain clarity on several key challenges I’ve been facing with my company. Her approach has been incredibly insightful, relying on a question-driven method to truly understand the areas I wanted to focus on. Only after that does she help me create actionable steps to move forward. Thanks to Sara, I now have a much clearer understanding of how to effectively manage tasks within my team, identify problems more accurately, and implement solutions in a more strategic way. We are currently working on a very big project where I am on track to becoming a more passive player in my business.

"Since 3 month I have Jatto as a mentor for Typescript. In general, for me having a mentor is the best way to learn. The progress I made is by far more, than if I had studied on my own. Jatto is great, since he takes the time it needs to solve problems in depth. He also explains the overall concept why problems occur and gives related links so one can continue to study related concepts in more depth. Jatto is happy to share his knowledge and help. Every session is great fun, as programming is taught in a way that I understand it. Hence, both thumps up for Jatto... Keep it up! "
