Dojo Mentoring: community 1:1

Dojo Mentoring runs without rounds or deadlines. After acceptance your match starts immediately and runs for 3 months.

Dojo Mentoring is for ages 18 and up.

Sensei share their experience as a community exchange, without guarantee. You are responsible yourself for decisions in your company.

  • Sensei are experienced people from the community who guide mentees for 3 months.
  • Anyone can become a Sensei once the profile is complete and the rules are accepted.
  • Matching is always 1:1 between Sensei and mentee.
  • You do not pick a person. You set topic, language, level, weekday and time window, and we fairly assign a matching Sensei.
  • If a Sensei declines or does not answer within 3 days, your request automatically goes to the next matching person. You learn the name and contact details when someone accepts.
  • Sensei guide 1 to 8 mentees at the same time, depending on their own capacity, and can pause accepting new mentees at any time.
  • Sensei set their own time commitment, from 30 minutes per week to by arrangement.
  • If nobody matches right now, you land on the waitlist and are assigned automatically once someone matches.
  • After the end date both sides confirm completion. Only then does each side receive a certificate. The certificate confirms participation in a community initiative and is not a Microsoft certification.
