Mentors

I feel like something that could be added is a mentor or coaching addition to proko.
one of the best things about art school is the guidance you get from a teacher you know for years.
Having a mentor is so valuable. I feel like when going through a older lesson I sometimes have a hard time talking to peers or instructors for feedback. not always but sometimes.
It could be nice to have an addition to proko where you can pay for mentor/coaching sessions. These could be more personal to the artist and allow the ability to cultivate a professional relationship that can help guide artists in more personalized goals and struggles.
A weird comparison but I have seen this done a lot with competitive gaming. They often have websites like proko where they offer video lessons. But they have a section devoted to coaches, usually using a token system, you can buy and schedule sessions with a coach. The coach would watch your game and identify things to improve and create a plan.
It really seems like something like that could benefit proko and the learning artist.
Having a mentor see your art, create personalized training plans, critique, or even advice in the realm of art business.
Its a proven to work business model and I can really see it complementing the proko website.
