How it works
Browse the project list
Sign up and see the open projects looking for a mentor. Mark interest in the ones that match your skills — or create your own if you've already got one in mind.
Get notified when you're matched
No curriculum to design. When a project you're interested in is ready, you're matched with the student and looped in — no need to keep checking back.
Review PRs, guide decisions, get paid
Give real feedback on real code, walk through architecture calls when they come up, and get compensated for the expertise you already have.
Questions, answered
How much time does mentoring actually take?
There's no fixed schedule to sign up for. You browse the open project list and mark interest in the ones that fit what you actually have time for that month — you're only ever matched to a project you chose, so the time commitment is set project by project, not by a blanket availability setting.
What if I don't have much time some weeks?
Then don't mark interest in anything new that week — there's no ongoing slot you're expected to fill. You'll still get notified whenever a new project matching your skills goes up, so picking back up later is a click, not a re-onboarding.
Can I bring my own project instead of picking from the list?
Yes. Mentors aren't limited to what's already posted — if you have a specific project in mind, you can create it yourself and get matched with a student through the same flow.
How do I get paid, and how much?
Skillima handles scheduling, progress tracking, and payments — you don't manage invoices. Mentors on the platform report an average 16% lift in income from mentoring alone; exact rates depend on the project and your experience.
Do I need to create course content or lesson plans?
No. There's no curriculum to write and no lectures to record. You're reviewing real pull requests on a real project — the same kind of feedback you'd already give a junior teammate.
