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