Why talk to a machine learning mentor?

If you’re looking to get started with machine learning, a mentor is a great way to get the help and guidance you need to succeed.

If you haven’t already heard of machine learning, it’s a branch of computer science that deals with giving computers the ability to learn without being programmed. Machine learning has been around for decades, but it has recently become more popular because of its ability to help with problems like image recognition and natural language processing.

If you want to get started with machine learning, there are many resources available online that will help you learn the basics. But if you don’t have time or patience for that kind of learning, consider finding a mentor who can provide personalized guidance and training.

Why should you find a mentor? A mentor can help answer questions about how best to structure projects so they’re successful. They can also give advice on how to approach problems from different angles when faced with challenges. They may even be able to introduce you to other people who are working in related fields so that you can collaborate on future projects.

The benefits of having someone guide your path through machine learning are endless!

Simple answer

Because they are nice people.

Extended answer

They genuinely enjoy helping.
They want to share their experiences and help others learn from them. Sharing their experiences, wins, and failures can truly change the trajectory of someone else’s path.
It keeps them on their toes. No better way to sharpen your skills than to teach someone else!
Speaking with up-and-coming businesses is fun and exciting!
Growth Mentors have a growth mindset and are looking to learn in each and every situation- including mentoring sessions.
They are new to the platform. New mentors are asked to do some free sessions, in the beginning, to get their feet wet and get a feel for the platform. Only after mentors have 3 reviews can they set a price and charge.

Here are some tips.

Come into this with realistic expectations. They’re mentors, not magicians.
Ask your mentor if they’d be ok with you recording your screen with Loom
Give contextual information to help paint the picture of your current situation.
Growth mentors will be asking you lots of questions, answer them as openly as possible.
Don’t be afraid to push the boundaries of question-asking. Be inquisitive. Stories are gold.
Don’t feel pressure, just relax.
Try to form mental patterns, especially if you speak with multiple mentors.
Embrace alternative views. Ask the mentors to challenge your assumptions.
Be friendly. If you’re likable, the mentors will be your biggest supporters (even after the call is over).

Full disclaimer- there are no silver bullets for Growth, so we can’t make any false promises.

If you have a growth mindset and are looking to connect with various experienced individuals and learn from them, you will get value from GrowthMentor.

All mentors are 100% legit. They’re not here to pitch or sell you anything – they’re here to help people like you who are trying to better themselves.
