I would definitely recommend, it was a one to one session with Sergei and I learned a lot in Wireframing UI - very straightforward session. Thank you to The School of UX they are very easy to talk to and actioned my inquiries diligently.

Sergei is a fantastic mentor and has been very informative during an one-to-one mentoring session. Definitely worth it! He will help steer you in the right direction whatever concerns you have. Even if you are feeling stuck with your UX career or studies.
