Before Mentorea, I knew what career I wanted but had no idea how to actually get there. My mentor gave me advice that I genuinely wouldn't have known to look for myself.
My mentor helped me become much more confident about my future. I went from feeling like professional careers were completely out of reach to actually seeing myself pursuing one.
The best thing about Mentorea is that I can ask questions I wouldn't necessarily know who else to ask. My mentor has given me a completely different perspective on university, careers and opportunities.
Mentorea has really helped me improve as a person. Since starting my mentoring, I've become a lot more ambitious and have been inspired by my mentor. I've managed to secure work experience at J.P. Morgan, which is something I never dreamed of before.
Mentorea is one of the best experiences I've had. I've been doing the sessions for over seven months now, and I've become really inspired by my mentor. I also secured an internship at KPMG because of the support and inspiration I received.
At the start of the year, I was on a grade 3 in Maths. Since starting tutoring with Mentorea, I'm now working at a grade 8.
I used to dread asking questions in class because I was worried about getting things wrong. My tutor made me feel comfortable making mistakes and actually helped me understand why I was getting questions wrong.
The biggest difference wasn't just my grades. I became much more confident in the subject and started believing that I was actually capable of doing well.
My tutor explains things in a way that makes sense to me instead of just giving me the answer. That has completely changed how I approach difficult questions.
From a grade 3 at the start of the year to currently working at a grade 8, through consistent weekly tutoring sessions.
I have seen a noticeable difference in my child's confidence since joining Mentorea. Having someone outside of school who they can speak to about their ambitions has been incredibly valuable.
I think Mentorea is a very valuable platform, especially for students who may not have previously considered careers in professional fields. As someone who attended a state school myself, I think it is particularly important to give back to the community and help students access opportunities and perspectives that they may not otherwise have had.
What stood out to me about Mentorea was its focus on access. Students shouldn't need to have family connections or attend a particular school to learn about professional careers. Mentoring can help close that information gap.
I joined Mentorea because I wanted to give students the guidance I wish I had received when I was at school. Being able to share my experiences and hopefully make someone's journey a little easier is incredibly rewarding.
What attracted me to Mentorea was its focus on access. A student's background shouldn't determine whether they get to learn about professional careers or meet people who have experience in them.
Mentoring has reminded me how valuable early guidance can be. Sometimes one conversation can completely change the way a student thinks about their future.
