How does mentorship work in UX Academy?
Your mentor acts as your design coach, answering design questions, helping you with your portfolio, and giving you career advice and tips on things like time management. They will also give tactical feedback, critique your submissions, and help you develop your skills.
Before the course begins, each student fills out a short pre-course survey, where we collect more information on your background and post-course goals. We use this information, along with your location (we have mentors all over the world), to pair you up with mentors who'd be a good match.
