If you have read my blog, you probably know what I'm quite big on mentoring. Having had the opportunity to be mentored by inspiring professionals throughout my career (e.g. Prof. G. Magoulas, Prof. B. Mirkin, and Mr. S. Hoberman, to mention a few), I have a strong motivation to help others through this activity. For the past five years I've been providing mentoring services via Thinkful, though my contract with that company is going to end towards the end of the summer of 2022. Nevertheless, I am also mentoring via the following channels:
In any case, if you have 2-3 minutes to spare, you can let me know what you think/need as a mentee, by filling out this 5-question survey.
Since the Spring of 2022 I've also done some volunteer mentoring on another platform. So far, I've gathered a few reviews from the mentees there. Feel free to check them out on this Box folder.
- Topmate. This is the latest mentoring platform I've discovered, offering a variety of packages, including consultations. A cool feature about it is that it allows you to contact me also via text, for simpler mentoring/consulting questions.
- Mentorcruise. This is a professional mentoring platform for all sorts of individuals. It's paid, so you can expect a certain level of quality (which is usually absent in other, free platforms). Payments and communications are handled by the platform and you can use any kind of credit or debit card for your transactions, processed through Stripe.
- Kwork. This is a freelance platform that prides itself for the quality of the people on it. Unlike other freelance platforms, this one has a strong quality control and manually check all the "gigs" that people post on it. I've used it myself for marketing and SEO work and plan to use it again. Payments are done via a credit/debit card and are processed by the Kword website.
- Directly through this website. If you feel comfortable dealing directly with me and don't wish to have a middleman at all, you can contact me to arrange mentoring directly (schedule a 15- or 30-minute meeting). Note that mentoring meetings are generally longer and that this introductory meeting is for logistics purposes only. If you wish to be mentored by me directly, you can also pay via crypto if you like (especially Ethereum) or I can issue you an invoice and you can pay via bank transfer or something.
