Mentor Standards

How we vet our mentors

Active publication record

Every mentor has at least three peer-reviewed publications in their field within the last five years. We don't accept graduate students or career-coaches as mentors.

Teaching experience

All mentors have direct teaching experience at the undergraduate level or above. Mentoring a high school student is different from doing research alone — it requires patience and pedagogy.

Research-area fit

Mentors only work with students whose research interests overlap with their own published expertise. If we can't match you, we tell you in the consultation.
