Free mentorship, by application

Apply for Mentorship

Mentorship is free and by application, so that I can give each mentee proper attention. Mentees receive a personalised plan built around one clear goal, feedback on their submissions, regular video calls at a pace we agree, email check-ins and someone to be accountable to.

Who should apply

Is This for You?

Apply if you are an engineering student, graduate, engineer or researcher with a clear goal, and any of these describes where you are now:

Preparing scholarship or postgraduate applications
Emailing potential supervisors but receiving no replies
Carrying out experimental testing and wanting to connect it to the literature
A current geotechnical research student looking for structured guidance
Seeking direction for a career in geotechnical engineering
Working in industry and wanting support with a professional goal
Focusing on your personal and professional development
Needing someone to be accountable to for a goal you have set

Before you apply

Please submit your Stage 1 reflection essay first. It helps me understand where you are and what you need.

What happens next

I read every application and reply by email. If you are accepted, I will send you the password for the mentee submissions page.

Places are limited, so I may sometimes say no. That does not mean you are not qualified. Sometimes I am simply at full capacity. The free resources remain yours, and you are welcome to apply again later.
