How it works

1. AI-Powered Matching

PeerEdvice's AI-powered algorithm provides student applicants with a list of suggested mentors based on their needs and your profile. As a Peer Mentor, you provide a 15 min complimentary consultation. If there is a mutual fit, the applicant then schedules one or more sessions with the selected mentor. As a Peer Mentor, your profile should include details about your academic background, your skills, sessions types that you can support, your availability, and rates.

2. Easy Scheduling

Each mentor offers a new student a 15-minute complimentary consultation. After that, when the applicant decides to schedule a session with you, the platform displays your available timeslots to the student to book sessions with you using Google Calendar. It is important to keep your google calendar updated with your various commitments so avoid double booking, cancellations and rescheduling.

3. Video Conferencing

Conduct face-to-face mentoring sessions using Google Meet. Our seamless integration ensures high-quality video and audio for productive mentoring experiences.

4. Document Sharing

Collaborate efficiently with your mentees using Google Drive integration. Securely share and edit documents in real-time, from essay drafts to application materials.

5. Messaging

For quick sync, use google chat to send messages.

Fees & Payments for Mentors

Joining the PeerEdvice mentor network is completely free. Each mentor sets their own hourly rate when creating their profile, ensuring flexibility and transparency. Every mentoring session lasts one hour and should be tailored to meet the needs of the applicant. To facilitate a smooth introduction, PeerEdvice requires mentors to offer one complimentary 15-minute “Meet the Mentor” session to each applicant to get acquainted and discuss their goals.

PeerEdvice withholds a low commission from the mentor's fee for each session. This commission is in addition to Stripe or Paypal’s processing fee.

No Commitment, Full Flexibility

Enjoy the freedom of mentoring on your terms. There are no long-term contracts or minimum session requirements. As Mentors, you decide when and how often you want to mentor.

Maximize Your Earnings

We currently don't offer tiered commissions based on volume. Our low commission rates are designed to allow mentors keep more of what they earn from each and every session. We are always evaluating new ways to reward our mentors!
