Is mentoring online or in person?
Fully online. The platform and the mentoring sessions work the same way whether you are in Istanbul, Ankara, İzmir or abroad. We do not offer in-person teaching.
Why one-to-one mentoring?
Why one-to-one mentoring?
Twenty years of experience have shown us that attention and learning drop in crowded classes. In a one-to-one session the mentor sees where the student is stuck from practice exam and report results on the platform, and exam strategy is shaped for the individual. This is our core difference.
Do you offer a free intro meeting?
