A two-sided mentoring platform connecting students with experienced college mentors through discovery, appointments, progress tracking and paid guidance.
Students need more than a searchable directory when choosing a mentor: they need relevant profiles, confidence in expertise, straightforward booking and a visible way to track progress. Mentors need an equally clear experience for receiving requests, managing availability and supporting multiple students without losing context.
We designed the product around two connected roles. Students can create profiles, discover and compare mentors, send connection requests, book appointments and work towards defined goals. Mentors can sign in to review requests, manage schedules, monitor student progress and keep each mentoring relationship organised.
The mobile application was built with Ionic for a consistent cross-platform experience. A Laravel backend manages users, mentor profiles, appointments, goals, permissions, payments and platform monetisation, with the infrastructure deployed on AWS. Firebase powers timely app notifications for requests, booking activity and ongoing engagement.
Mentor.me turns a fragmented mentoring journey into one connected platform. Students gain a clearer route to trusted guidance and measurable progress, while mentors have the scheduling, request-management and commercial tools needed to deliver their expertise sustainably.
Students can search and compare mentors using meaningful profile information, including university, qualifications, speciality, experience, availability and appointment pricing. Clear booking and connection controls turn discovery into a practical next step, while mentors can review and accept incoming requests from their own account.
Goals give students and mentors a shared view of what they are working towards. Progress indicators, target dates and completed actions make each plan easier to review, while mentor scheduling, appointment management and Firebase notifications keep the relationship active between sessions.
