How do you choose your Academic Mentors?
All of our Academic Mentors are highly knowledgeable and experienced educators who have the right skills and personality to motive and engage students. We require Academic Mentors to have at least 5 years of teaching experience in their subjects of expertise, but most have quite a bit more. For more about our Academic Mentors, please see the Our Team section of our website.
How do you decide which Academic Mentor I’ll work with?
Of course, the Academic Mentor must be an experienced educator in the subject or subjects in which the student needs help, and he or she must have the flexibility to work around the student’s schedule. Beyond that, we also consider which Academic Mentor will best “click” with the student based on the student’s learning style, interests and motivations. Although it doesn’t often happen, if the Academic Mentor and the student aren’t a good match, we will recommend a different Academic Mentor.
