How do mentee and mentor levels work?

In the heart of the ancient Maya civilization, knowledge was considered a sacred gift, a motive for their continuous quest for wisdom and the connection of all things. You’ll see subtle Mayan references around our platform, including our plan names, our logo (https://mentorscx.com/about#logo), and our mentor/mentee levels.

Just as the Maya guided their people through the mysteries of the universe, Mentors CX embraces the idea of our mentors and mentees navigating through a journey of discovery and personal growth.

We wanted to add a bit of additional fun to the quest, including rewards that motivate mentors and mentees to continue their learning and growth path. Therefore, we are adding levels based on the number of sessions completed for both mentors and mentees. As mentioned before, you’ll see the names are influenced by the Maya.
