ABOUT MENTOMIND

MentoMind is a white-label platform that helps tutoring companies, test prep businesses, and college advisors scale their SAT, ACT, and AP prep services.

Your curriculum, ours, or both: use MentoMind's expert-created practice questions and full-length tests across SAT, ACT, and AP, bring your own, or run entirely on your existing curriculum.

Tutor-led or fully automated: deliver it through your tutors, or run it fully automated with no added workload on staff — opening up a lower-cost, self-paced option for families who can't afford or fit into your tutoring schedule.

MentoMind's Think10x is an AI product that generates step-by-step whiteboard-style video solutions — complete with figures and diagrams — narrated in the teacher's own voice, in English, Spanish, and many more, giving students 24/7 support for every question in the curriculum. It is integrated into MentoMind and also available as a standalone platform.

Amit first appeared on the podcast in episode 539 to discuss How Can Tutors Use AI?, in episode 631 for a SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: MentoMind, and in episode 691 for another SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: MentoMind.
