Mentor. Sign in

For engineering coaches

Run your coaching like the engineer you are.

Mentor is one place for you and your clients: mock interviews and coaching sessions with structured write-ups, skill scores that build a progress record, curriculum tracked down to the concept, and homework that actually comes back.

Invite-only. Already coaching here? Sign in above.

Session write-up

System design: news feed

Problem solving up 1 since last
System design holding steady
Communication up 2 since last

Strengths and what went well

Broke the problem into read and write paths unprompted; the fan-out trade-off discussion was genuinely strong.

Advice for future interviews

Open with the read/write ratio and rough QPS before naming components.

Private notes. Only you see these.

The loop

Coaching has a rhythm. Mentor keeps it.

  1. 01

    Schedule

    Book the session; it lands in both calendars and your client gets a clean email with the when and the brief.

  2. 02

    Coach

    Mock interviews, system design deep-dives, behavioral rounds: the session page holds the agenda, materials, and homework you assign in the room.

  3. 03

    Write it up

    Star scores per skill, strengths, areas for improvement, advice for the real interviews. If you forget, Mentor nudges you an hour after the session.

  4. 04

    Watch it compound

    Every write-up feeds the client's progress record: skills moving up, topics ticked off, homework reviewed.

The live workbench

Code together. Draw together. Replay everything.

Every session opens a live workbench: a shared editor with both cursors visible as you type, a terminal that runs the code for real, and a whiteboard one tab away. Afterwards the whole session replays like a recording.

Python Run Live
1def two_sum(nums, target):
2 seen = {}
3 for i, n in enumerate(nums):Priya
4 if target - n in seen:
5 return [seen[target - n], i]
6 seen[n] = i

Six languages, run for real

Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Go, and C++ execute on Mentor's own workers, time-capped and rate-limited, with output landing in a terminal that appends instead of wiping.

A whiteboard beside the code

System design happens on an infinite canvas, with microservice, database, cache, and event bus shapes already in the library.

Replay any session

Every edit and every run is kept, so a session can be rewatched like a recording: who typed, what ran, and how the design took shape.

What's inside

Everything a coaching engagement is made of.

Clients

One page per client, everything on it

Sessions, curriculum, homework, allowance, and access in one hub. Clients of the same coach never see each other; each signs into their own engagement only.

Skill tracking

Progress you can point at

Problem solving, coding, system design, communication, behavioral: scored one to five, session by session, with the movement shown since last time.

Curriculum

Topics, down to the concept

"Dynamic programming" is a plan line; sliding window, knapsack, and LCS are the checkboxes inside it. Notes per topic turn sessions into a record.

Homework

A loop, not a checkbox

You set the brief, the client hands in a write-up of what they solved and where they got stuck, and your review lands on the same page.

Allowances

Session packs, honestly counted

Record the sessions a client has purchased; usage counts down automatically as sessions complete or elapse. No spreadsheets on the side.

Calendar & email

The plumbing, handled

Optional Google Calendar sync mirrors sessions into both diaries, touching only the events Mentor created. Bookings, write-ups, and reminders arrive as clean, branded email.

For your clients

Their side is just as sharp.

You invite each client by email and they get their own sign-in to the engagement, not a spectator seat on your admin. Everything below is theirs from day one.

Pricing

One plan. All of it.

No tiers, no seats to count, no features held back. One monthly price for you as the coach, and your clients never pay Mentor anything.

Questions

The short version.

How do invitations work?

Ask below with a note about your coaching and we set up your coach account. From there you invite your own clients by email. Clients who prefer to stay off the platform can be tracked as record-only, a name with no sign-in.

What does Mentor cost?

One plan at £29 a month per coach, with everything included and no limits on clients or sessions. Early access coaches use Mentor free until general availability. Clients never pay Mentor anything.

Does money move through Mentor?

No. Fees stay between you and your clients. Session allowances record what has been agreed and count down as sessions complete, so the ledger is honest without being a payment system.

Can my clients see each other?

Never. Each client signs into their own engagement and nothing else. Your private session notes are visible to you alone, and never to the client they are about.

Do we have to use Google Calendar?

No. The sync is optional for each person separately, and when connected Mentor touches only the events it created. How that access is handled is spelled out in the privacy policy.

Is it only for interview prep?

Interview prep is the sweet spot: mocks, system design deep-dives, behavioral rounds. But the loop of sessions, write-ups, curriculum, and homework fits any 1-2-1 engineering coaching.

Does the code actually run?

Yes. The workbench executes Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Go, and C++ on Mentor's own workers, with time and output limits so nobody can wedge a session. Nothing runs in anyone's browser, and the playground gives everyone a free scratchpad outside sessions.
