Our mentors and mentees meet in interactive sessions via the Zoom program. Also, we use Google Classroom for document and video sharing, and continuous communication.
Our curriculum is designed such that mentees engage in project-based activities and advance in milestones.

The student and his/her parents have access to the student’s portfolio.
We offer multiple modules. Each module lasts 12 weeks.

Plus, we trained how to communicate and approach the students. We trained them to approach them with a “growth mindset”.
