No, as a new Mentor, you begin without an assigned level. However, you can quickly earn a level by completing the initial requirements. Starting with 3 free mentoring sessions allows you to establish valuable connections, gain experience, and move forward in your journey to the Novice Mentor level.

The levels provide a clear reflection of your performance and dedication in the Scholarnetics360 community. As you advance, you unlock new benefits and opportunities that enrich both your teaching experience and your professional growth.

Each level has specific criteria based on your user rating, response rate, and engagement hours. Meet these criteria, and you'll automatically progress to the next level.

Yes, if your performance metrics fall below the necessary criteria for your current level, you will automatically move down to a lower level that reflects your current metrics.

Yes, as a Mentor, you have the flexibility to set your hourly rate according to your preferences. Even if you've unlocked a higher level with a higher suggested rate, you can choose to charge less per hour if that aligns better with your goals or the needs of your scholars. This ensures you maintain control over your pricing while offering mentorship that remains accessible.

The response rate is calculated based on the percentage of mentorship requests you respond to within a specified timeframe. It's measured by the number of requests you've replied to promptly compared to the total number received. Ignoring, rejecting, or canceling requests may lower your response rate, so ensure timely communication to maintain a strong rating and stay eligible for higher Mentor levels.
