Getting Started at Mentor Lane: Quick Guide for New Mentees


Finding the perfect mentor shouldn't be a choice that you take lightly. This decision can be more important than your education or work experience combined.

That’s why we are super excited to help you find your perfect mentor on Mentor Lane. Our mission is to give you the best possible mentoring experience so you can grow into the best possible version of yourself.

On our platform, you will not only find the right mentor but also join a supportive community of mentors and mentees to help each other succeed.

If you've just started on the platform, this guide will help you get everything set up, optimised and ready for receiving mentorship matches.

Get started in just three steps. Let's go!

Step 1: Create Your Mentee Profile

Your profile is the first thing a potential mentor will see and it's the foundation of our matching process.
  1. Answer a few multiple-choice questions
    • These cover who you are, your goals, and what you want to achieve.
    • Your answers help us recommend the most suitable mentors for you.
    • Your first three selections are the most important - the algorithm gives them extra weight when matching.
  2. Be clear about your topics and goals
    • Think carefully about what you most want help with.
    • Align your answers with your professional mission to get matches that are truly relevant.
  3. Describe yourself in your own words
    • At the end of the form, you can write a short summary about you and your goals.
    • This is your chance to make a strong first impression. Be specific about what you're working towards and the skills you want to develop.
  4. Upload a profile picture
    • You can upload a professional photo or create one directly in the platform.
    • A friendly, high-quality image helps mentors feel more connected to you from the start.

Step 2: Choose Your Membership

Once your profile is ready, it's time to pick the subscription tier that best fits your goals and timeline. You can choose between a monthly or annual plan, and between working with one mentor or several.

  • Use your profile to reach out to mentors who match your goals.
  • Explore our community to connect with peers and attend exclusive events.
  • Access your mentoring guide and support materials for tips on making the most of your sessions.

That's it - you're ready to begin!
