MENTU

SYNOPSIS
MENTU argues that the passion to reading for any individual is fostered through the right book and the right mentor. We, in our modern society, face huge deficit in reading across age groups, causing our new generations to lose competitive edge in professional and personality growth. MENTU strives to bring back the love of reading through pairing mentees 1-1 with inspirational, knowledgeable mentors, determined by the mentee’s specific hobbies, curiosities, career paths, etc. The fun personal touch is enhanced by our MENTU tech platform, which integrates mentor/mentee communication and facilitates training + quality control.

WHY MENTU

Reading fosters perspective, logical reasoning, knowledge, and information navigation. These elements lead to personal growth, and allows one to see professional and personal opportunities that the less well read cannot. The benefits are endless. There are even articles claiming that reading is the key factor to most successful people.
Yet, reading as fun and leisure or a sincere desire for reading seems to be an ancient pursuit, if not lost completely.

The lack of love for reading stems from our current social constraints. For middle to high school students, strict curriculums prohibit book selection freedom and confuses authoritative assignments with reading, leading students to “hate” reading. For adults, it could be the perception that there is a lack of time, or don’t know where to start.
MENTU strives to bring back the love of reading to everyone. Our mentees, through MENTU, have regained their desire and discovered that reading truly empowers them, hence, “read to win.”

HOW WE READ

MENTU pairs mentees with professional and personable mentors, determined by the mentee’s specific interests, hobbies, curiosities, and career paths, to ultimately reinforce a passion for reading.

Through the MENTU initial interview, MENTU management understands the personalities, strengths and weaknesses of our mentees, and then find the right mentor for that specific mentee. The selected mentor motivates the mentee to read and in turn, to succeed.

Along with MENTU management, mentors at MENTU select the right books for their mentees, as well as books that the mentors themselves want to explore. We have researched a large selection of books in our ongoing database. We also respect what mentors are in high desire for in terms of the types of knowledge and fun that they want to acquire.
