How it works
- Intake. You share your background, goals and constraints.
- Plan. Together we agree a plan with milestones, for example a 12-week or 12-month track.
- Sessions. One-to-one sessions follow, with tasks between meetings.
- Review. We check progress and adjust the plan as your situation changes.
Session format, number and cost are agreed on enquiry. Mentoring offers guidance and practice. It does not guarantee a job, an interview or an exam result.
