Live Session vs. Freelance Job
Live Sessions
Users are able to communicate with mentors in a session room with video chat, screen sharing, and remote control tools. The cost will depend on the length of the session and the mentor's rate.
Freelance Jobs
Freelance job is a way for users to pay mentors for additional help outside of mentoring sessions. This is also a convenient way for users to send a quick payment as a token of appreciation.
Users can choose to pay a mentor immediately or to keep the funds in escrow (on hold) with Codementor.
If you need assistance with assignments (as long as it's permitted under your school's policy), you can receive help through live 1:1 mentoring sessions (receiving help through freelance jobs, code reviews or direct payments is not permitted).
