Become a mentor

Give back the way you wish someone gave back to you.

You navigated Melbourne as a first-year international student. You figured it out. Now there are hundreds of students starting that same journey — and they need someone like you.

The commitment

What mentors actually do.

Hoddle is one-to-many mentorship — no private tutoring, no scheduling pressure. You publish advice that scales.

Publish guides & articles

Share advice once — let hundreds of students benefit. Your content lives on the platform and keeps giving long after you write it.

Host live Q&A sessions

Run short, focused sessions where students can ask anything. You set the topic, the time, and the format.

Answer forum questions

Jump into community threads when you have something valuable to add. No pressure to be everywhere — just where you can help.

Your success story — published on Hoddle — becomes a permanent source of inspiration for every student who finds it.
