The 1:1 Mentorship Program provides personalized guidance, structure, and flexibility for learners of all experience levels to turn their ideas into passion projects. Whether you are a caretaker in charge of family finances, a student conducting market research, or someone whose making a career shift into a more technical industry, we are happy to help you bring your project to life.

We keep you accountable through every step from creating ideas to iterating on projects. You will acquire skills to extract insights from large datasets, use them to craft solutions for your project idea, and then wrap them into a tangible final product of your choice. A final product can be a journal article paper, a program to manage personal finance, an app in App Store, a technical feature for business software, and many more. We take whatever ideas you pitch at us, so be as creative as you can!

How Does It Work?

1. Consultative Call

Hop on a free call with us to discuss the ideas or details of your passion project. This is a 30-minute info session to see if you are a good fit. In this session, we will discuss considerations like the topic, cadence, and budget of your project, as well as program expectations.

2. Match with a Mentor

If you are a good fit for the program, you will receive an intake form where you can specify the topic, interest, and goal of your proposed project. After that, one of our in-house mentors will be assigned to you to discuss and plan the mentorship sessions.

3. Begin Your Mentorship Journey

Your mentor will work directly with you through a series of 10 one-on-one sessions. The initial 3 sessions will be focused on brainstorming and gathering resources, followed by 5 sessions dedicated to developing and backtesting your solution and concluding with 2 sessions dedicated to fine-tuning and packaging your final product.

Program Outcome

Program Rundown & Logistics

This program runs for 10 sessions of 1 hour each.

Number of sessions can be extended per your need.

Program schedule is determined by mentees’ and mentors’ availability. All times are in Central Time; please adjust for your timezone.

Our program is always open, and we welcome new mentees on a rolling basis.

Session 1 - 3
  • Identify the underlying problem that your product aims to solve and propose practical solutions to the problem.
  • Describe the practical significance of your underlying problem and solution, including areas where they are applicable, the expected impact on a personal or social level, etc.
  • Highlight potential techniques, methods, and models that you could use to solve your problem - for example, quantitative vs qualitative approaches.
  • Compile and document essential resources such as data sets, journal articles, blog posts, and more to support your solution development.
Session 4 - 8
  • Transform the chosen resources into a tabulated format that fits your solution; the resulting data can be numbers, texts, or both.
  • Implement the data cleaning pipeline to remove data clutter such as missing values, unimportant features, and potential outliers to improve data quality.
  • Create a baseline product that feeds on processed data.
  • Establish metrics that evaluate the performance of your product. It could be measures for speed, accuracy, margin of error, and costs.
Session 9 - 10
  • Validate solution results to ensure that they are reasonable and align with real-life observations.
  • Troubleshoot and fix coding bugs to optimize the presentation and usability of your product.
  • Streamline and refine product features leading to final deployment.
  • Outline a roadmap to sustain ongoing product functionality and expand on successful project strategies.

We see everyone initiating a project, be it big or small, to be an entrepreneur in life. As a team of entrepreneurs, we acknowledge the psychological and physical effort it takes to bring your project to fruition. That’s why we provide persistent mentorship until your project is completed.

We value your experience as much as your output. In each session, we ensure consistent progress, starting with retrospective analysis to enhance product substance and project backlog planning to track task statuses. You’ll be given the space to march toward your targeted deliverable with firm clarity and unwavering confidence.

Hear From Our Mentees

“I was delighted to have John as not only my project mentor but also a life coach, and I am most definitely sure you will too.”

John is an exceptional mentor who goes above and beyond to support his mentees. His dedication to teaching the concept portion of the program was outstanding, and as a newbie to programming, I gained valuable insights on applying data analysis to my trading routine. 

Thanks to his guidance, I was able to develop a portfolio allocation program that has greatly helped me organize my trades. Throughout the process, John inspired me to keep researching, overcome challenges, and strive for results. His detailed coaching and feedback during every session were very helpful, allowing me to comfortably edit my work. I was delighted to have John as not only my project mentor but also a life coach, and I am most definitely sure you will too.

“The 1:1 Mentorship Program was a launchpad for my career in finance.”

After participating in the 1:1 Mentorship Program, I was inspired to combine the technical skills taught with my interest in finance. I get to translate my everyday tasks like cash flow planning, expense budgeting, and debt management into projects that demonstrate my skills. I showcased these projects on my resume and got interviews from multiple financial companies. In the end, I landed the career of my dream as a financial planner at a bank.

The program’s guidance and expertise played a substantial role in my career success, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to break into the finance industry.

“...it’s amazing to see how reliably John guides you through the pathways in using data, and most importantly, shows you that data science isn’t a scary subject but rather an intuitive tool to make decisions.”

My favorite part of the program is being able to grow intellectually after every brainstorming session and product demo. As a business owner with little experience in technology, it’s amazing to see how reliably John guides you through the pathways in using data, and most importantly, shows you that data science isn’t a scary subject but rather an intuitive tool to make decisions.

“John’s mentorship support has proved vital to my constant learning and self-refinement.”

During my first year in college, I had the pleasure to author a research paper under the mentorship of John through his 1:1 Mentorship Program. My research experience has been one of constant learning and refining in which John’s support has proved vital. He guided me through the process of researching and writing and made many constructive suggestions along the way. My research on the retail FX market was then accepted to be published in Curieux Academic Journal thanks to John’s detailed guidance.

1:1 Mentorship FAQ

I am a complete beginner in data science and finance, is the 1:1 Mentorship Program suitable for me?

We don’t require anything besides an interest in data science and finance. In fact, we have many beginners who join with no programming or market experience at all, and we are able to equip them with the basics as they progress throughout their projects.

How are mentees considered to be a good fit for the 1:1 Mentorship Program?

We consider potential mentees based on their individual background, which includes:

    • Interest
    • Purpose
    • Expectation

We also consider potential mentees based on nature of the proposed project, including its:

    • Scope
    • Viability
    • Timeline

I don’t have an exact project in mind, can I join the 1:1 Mentorship Program?

It is not necessary to have a specific project idea in mind for you to join the program. However, it is crucial to have a general direct about what you want to accomplish in throughout the mentorship before you enroll..

In the first session, our mentors give the mentees exposure to different real-life problems and an opportunity for them to decide what specific projects excite them the most. Once students have their broad project idea, they’ll work with their mentors to narrow down the project scope further.

Feel free to schedule a consultative call with us to gain inspiration.

Are there any types of projects that you don’t support?

As long as the project is data-driven and finance-related, it is unlikely that our team will turn down a project idea, so we encourage you to think outside the box and unleash your creativity in proposing project ideas.

Is it possible to take your courses in a live one-on-one format?

If you want to learn our courses in a live one-on-one setting from our in-house instructors, this is also an option we offer. Our course curriculum will be customized and designed to meet your unique learning needs. In the process, you will learn directly from our team of experts with exclusive support and immediate feedback to help you accelerate your growth and success.

For more information about this option, please contact support@ariesprofits.com.

Are mentorship materials available after the program?

Yes, you will have access to all mentorship materials indefinitely. This include meeting minutes, project feedback, source code, and more.

Can I communicate with my mentor in between sessions?

Absolutely! In fact, we highly encourage you to maintain communication and collaboration with your mentor. Feel free to email your mentor, share resources, and engage in discussions between sessions to stay connected and maximize your mentorship experience.

How much time can a mentee expect to spend on the project outside of the session time?

It depends on the complexity and scale of the mentee’s project. Smaller projects, such as developing a household budgeting spreadsheet, typically require around 5 hours of weekly effort, while larger projects like building a website scraper may involve up to 20 hours of work per week.

This is just a rough guide, and we understand that there can be unforeseeable circumstances that can affect project commitment.
