As a mentor, you will be meeting virtually on a weekly basis with your students for community support, live office hours and other activities. 

Required skills/qualifications:

• Fluency in English both written and spoken
• Eligibility Requirements: Mentors must have at least 7 years of industry experience or a master’s degree in the relevant field.
• Technical competence: Swift Programming Language (including advanced topics like Protocols, Generics, and Error Handling), SwiftUI for building modern, declarative iOS user interfaces, SwiftData and/or Core Data for robust data persistence and state management, iOS Networking, Concurrency, and Application Authentication protocols, Xcode environment and the complete iOS application lifecycle.
• Graduate from a Udacity Nanodegree Program is a added plus
• Experience teaching technical concepts and public speaking, organizing technical talks, or webinars
• Positive character, trusted by the students, creating emotional ties in the group
• Flexibility at their current job to take this challenge part-time as an external contractor

Responsibilities:

Your responsibilities as a technical mentor will be divided into three major tasks.

1. 1:1 video calls
2. Virtual Technical Deep-Dive Sessions
3. Group Q&A sessions

Personal 1:1 Session:

• Provide personalized support by addressing learner questions related to course content and projects.
• Prior to the call mentors are expected to review the students' previous project submission(s) - provided by the Mentor Success Team when available - and/or any specific areas of the Nanodegree content or project that the student has expressed confusion or difficulty with.

Technical Deep-Dive Session:

• For concept deep-dives, mentors will come prepared with a slide presentation that reviews a Nanodegree concept in more detail, share different use-cases for the concept to broaden student perspectives and understanding, and hold a Q&A session with the learners.
• For project walkthroughs, a mentor will come prepared with a slide presentation that outlines each element of the rubric to help learners understand expectations and typical problem areas they may encounter. This can include a mentor “grading” a sample submission to demonstrate what mentors are looking for when reviewing projects.

Group Q&A Session:

• Host regular sessions (via Slack or video) to address learner queries related to projects and coursework. No prior preparation required.
