## **A Different Kind of Mentor Marketplace**

**CONTEXT-FIRST MENTORING — NO INTROS, NO WASTED TIME**

Most mentorship platforms start with an awkward first hour. You explain your background. The mentor explains theirs. You try to figure out if you’re a fit. Half the session is gone before any real help happens.

AIVIA skips all of that. Mentors and mentees are matched through shared evaluation context — the mentor has proven expertise on the same component the mentee is working on. Both sides already speak the same technical language. Every minute goes to the actual problem.

### **01**  **How It Works for Mentees**
  

Complete an evaluation on any scenario post (Beginner or above). This unlocks the ability to message mentors who have demonstrated expertise on that same component. You’re not browsing a generic directory — you’re connecting with someone who has proven they understand your specific challenge.

Check the **Mentorship** tab in your [AIVIA dashboard](https://stemaway.com/my/aivia-dashboard/mentorship) to see available mentors for each evaluation you’ve completed.

### **02**  **How It Works for Mentors**
  

Complete an evaluation at Intermediate or Proficient level. This qualifies you to mentor others on that component. Opt in from the **Mentorship** tab in your [AIVIA dashboard](https://stemaway.com/my/aivia-dashboard/mentorship) and you’re visible to mentees who need help with the same material.

You only hear from people who’ve already attempted the evaluation themselves. No “do my work for me” requests — just motivated learners who’ve done the groundwork and need targeted help getting past a specific roadblock.

Mentors set their own rates and keep 100%. No platform fees, no commissions.

## Why This Works

**Shared context from day one.** Both mentor and mentee have completed evaluations on the same component. No ramp-up, no background explanations, no wasted sessions.

**Quality on both sides.** Mentors are evaluation-verified. Mentees have demonstrated effort. The evaluation acts as a filter that ensures both sides are serious.

**Direct connection.** All scheduling and payments are arranged directly between mentor and mentee. AIVIA facilitates the introduction and gets out of the way.

### **03**  **What Mentorship Is Good For**
  

**Getting unstuck.** Debugging a specific issue, choosing between architectures, understanding why your approach scored the way it did.

**Interview preparation.** Work with someone who has demonstrated expertise in the exact domain you’re interviewing for.

**Targeted skill development.** Your evaluation report tells you where the gaps are. A mentor who’s mastered that component can help you close them.

  

### _The evaluation is the introduction. Everything after that is between you and your mentor._

**Building something bigger?** The Builder Plan ($99 / 6 months) adds AI-powered project support for multi-month builds — an AI companion that scopes your project into a buildable blueprint, stays available 24/7 during your build, and briefs your mentors before each session.
