Can you let me know more about Codementor? I have gone through the website. I still need answers to some questions. You can send me DM on twitter @saheed_olad
http://perpetual.education is a design/programming school. We like to be part of the discussion over here at Dev.to / We have time-slots for free conversations for career advice IRL : )
Too many places to communicate. We're not going to add twitter! haha.
With Codementor, you can get expert help - and pay a human to sit with you and teach you OR you can be the mentor and get paid to help people. Many of us do that - on both ends. For example, there was a time where we needed to prop up an express app - and didn't know express well. We found an express expert and learned 10 hours of stuff in one hour - and life was good. Other times for example @sheriffderek mentored a few people for 6-months or so - and now they are much better at programming then him. It's basically how we started out teaching - and now we've decided that our school is how we'd prefer to teach.
They seem to be pivoting into some sort of other company though.
Other ways to find mentors are to ask in a specific discord, here on dev, at a local meetup etc - but we found that when you put money on the table - things happen. We've also just reached out to our favorite internet personalities and asked them how much it would cost to talk to them for an hour each week. It works! but - when people try to do everything 'for free' - people miss meetings... and they just don't take it seriously enough. Money - is the binding proof of respect. How do we know? Because between us - we've probably offered intense personal and FREE mentorship to over 30 people - and it never worked out. Every time someone paid for it - it was a super success.

If you need to put money on the table for someone to mentor you, please don't do that. You will eventually gain nothing out of the mentorship.
I don't go against gifts during the mentorship, but don't use the money to motivate your mentor at the beginning.
I believe mentorship should come from the heart of the mentor and mentee. Not to initiate it through money.
I have mentored over 40 persons and I don't request money from them. If they give me a gift I collect.
You become oblige to the mentee if you are paid for the mentorship even when they are not taking your instructions seriously.

This makes no sense. "You should never pay for bread - because you can get people to give it to you for free... and if they were to be paid... then they would feel obligated to give you bread."
Once in a while, you can find someone to mentor you for free. There is only so much time for each person. Our own @sheriffderek
, for example: mentors many people without payment for various reasons, but - that has nothing to do with how paying for tutoring or mentorship works in general. If you respect the teacher's time, then you barter with them. Surely - when you sign up for codementor to teach people - we'll be able to check and see that your price is 0$ ;)
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

The website looks nice though.
