Choosing the right mentor is one of the most important steps in your UNI Learn journey.
The right fit means better communication, faster progress, and a more enjoyable learning experience.

1. Know Your Goals First

  • Are you aiming to build a specific skill, complete a project, or prepare for a career change?

  • Your goals will guide you in choosing a mentor with the right expertise and teaching style.

πŸ’‘ Tip: If you’re not sure, take the Learner Type Test and define your short-term and long-term learning targets before searching.


2. Use the Search and Filters

When browsing the mentor directory, you can filter by:

  • Category – Language, Business, Technology, Creativity, etc.

  • Specialization – e.g., marketing, UI/UX design, academic writing

  • Price Range – Match your budget

  • Language – Ensure the mentor teaches in your preferred language

  • Availability – Pick time slots that fit your time zone


3. Read Mentor Profiles Carefully

A mentor’s profile gives you clues about their style and experience:

  • Bio – Learn about their background and teaching approach

  • Skills – Check if they cover the areas you want to improve

  • Languages – Confirm they can teach in your preferred language

  • Reviews & Ratings – See feedback from other learners

  • Projects – Explore any structured learning projects they offer


4. Communicate Before Booking

  • Send a short message introducing yourself and your learning goals.

  • Ask about their teaching style, experience with similar learners, or resources they might use.

  • Clarify session language and availability.


5. Start with a Trial Session

  • A trial lesson lets you experience their teaching style before committing to a package.

  • After the trial, reflect on whether the communication, pace, and approach felt right for you.


πŸ’‘ Pro Tip: Don’t be afraid to try more than one mentor in the beginning β€” it’s the best way to find the perfect match for your learning journey.
