Not just a search tool — real guidance too
Two ways to talk to actual people, not just track deadlines.
A live session every week — not a pre-recorded course
Formative Minds Live is a recurring series of workshops and panels hosted by our team, joined by real students and recent grads. Most weeks cover general guidance — course selection, extracurriculars, internships, and getting started with coding — the questions every student runs into. Some weeks go deep on one field instead, like a Computer Science/AI night or a Medicine & Pre-Med panel, where you hear directly from students who've actually done it.
- A new topic every week — join the ones relevant to you
- Live Q&A for students and parents, not a video you watch alone
- Free to attend — register and get the meeting link by email

1-on-1 help from people a few years ahead of you
Every mentor in the directory is a real member of the Formative Minds team with a public profile — their background, what they've done, and exactly what they can help with. Browse by topic, like AI & coding, research, course selection, or SAT prep, then either book a short 1-on-1 for something that needs real conversation, or send a quick email if you just have a fast question.
- Browse mentors by what you actually need help with
- Book a 20–30 minute 1-on-1, or skip straight to email
- Mentors list their real background, so you know who you're talking to
