5. Prepare for Your Interview

During the interview, we’ll review your profile together and get to know your mentoring style, mindset, values, and overall fit for the Ivystar community. To ensure a high-quality experience for our students, we evaluate each application and invite mentors whose approach closely aligns with our mission.

Once your interview and background check are successfully completed, your mentor profile will be approved and go live. You’ll then be able to create your session offerings and set your availability so students can find and book with you. Be sure to have your bank details ready to receive payments.
