About Us
Path Mentors was born out of our dissatisfaction with the toxic high-pressure environment that college admissions has created.
We believe that there's a more fulfilling way to spend your high school years than completing the standard checklist of high test scores, overwhelming course loads, meaningless clubs, and empty leadership titles. How can you expect to find your "passion" by copying what others have done?
Our current education system tends to lack a personalized component of hands-on learning by doing. We genuinely believe in the power and impact of having a mentor who can guide and teach based on one's individual interests.
Founded in 2019 by Columbia graduates, Path Mentors helps high school students stand out without burning out through personalized, impact-driven project-based mentorship.
Our team includes nearly 100 mentors from a wide range of professions, including technology, finance, medicine, science, film, design, animation, law, and more.

“Before, my son struggled through a lot of stress and anxiety which negatively affected his academics. After working with multiple Ivy League mentors, he learned to better handle the work and be smart about his time!”
