Suggested time per session: 1-2 hours Clients choose their desired mentor (essay editor) and book an editing session via iDreamCollege’s website. Mentors will have access to the folder in which client’s uploaded files are automatically shared.

Mentors are, at a minimum, required to complete four (4) editing sessions per month, provided that they are booked at least four times by clients. Essay editors will be promoted on the website’s “Meet the Team” page on the basis of merit (positive feedback from clients, etc.).
