Book a private call with a verified mentor who has already cleared the level you are sitting for. Bring a study plan that is slipping, a paper you keep failing, an articleship decision or a career question - and leave with a next step. Free and paid sessions, booked on demand.
A ClearLevel mentorship session is a private one-on-one call with someone who has already cleared the level you are sitting for. You choose the mentor, you choose the length, and you set the agenda. Most students book one because they are stuck on a decision rather than on a topic: whether to attempt one group or both, why the same paper keeps coming back at 45, which articleship offer to take, or whether the plan they are following can still fit into the months they have left.
That is the difference from a class. A class explains the syllabus to everyone in the room. A mentor looks at your marksheet, your timetable and your circumstances and tells you what to do next. Sessions are on demand rather than scheduled in batches, so you can book one in the week it will actually change something - and mentors can list free sessions, which makes it cheap to find out whether a particular mentor is the right fit.
Filter the catalogue by exam, level and free or paid until you are looking at people who have cleared what you are sitting for.
No fixed batches and no waiting for a schedule. Pick the session length you want and book it for the week you actually need it.
A private one-on-one call. Bring your marksheet, your timetable or the decision you are stuck on and use the whole session on it.
The point of the call is a next step you can act on the same evening, not general encouragement.
The calls that are worth the money have one clear problem in them. These are the six that come up most often.
How many hours a subject really needs, what to drop, and how to sequence revision so the last four weeks are not a scramble.
A mentor who has marked or sat the same paper can usually tell in ten minutes whether the problem is coverage, presentation or exam-day time management.
Big firm against mid-size, audit against tax, transfer questions, and what a given stint actually does to the roles open to you afterwards.
Costing, Advanced Accounting, DT, IDT, Law - a targeted call on one paper you keep scoring in the forties on.
An honest read on whether your current position supports attempting both groups, based on where you actually are rather than where you planned to be.
Practice against industry, the first few years of pay, and which early choices are hard to reverse later.
What a student needs from a mentor changes completely between the first level and the last, so the catalogue above is filterable by level. Use the level filter to see only mentors who have cleared the stage you are at.
ICAI's three-level route. The questions change sharply by level, so mentors are listed by the level they cleared.
Should you start now, and how to build the first study routine
One group or both, and rescuing a paper you have already failed once
Balancing articleship with study, and the last-lap revision plan
ICSI's route into company secretaryship and governance. Mentors here tend to come from secretarial and compliance roles.
Whether CS fits the career you actually want
Module planning and the law papers students most often stall on
Elective choice and moving from exams into a compliance role
ICMAI's cost and management accounting route, with mentors from costing, FP&A and manufacturing finance.
How CMA differs from CA in day-to-day work, not just in syllabus
Group planning and the practical papers that need drilling
Specialisation and where CMAs are actually being hired
Mentors can list a session at no charge, and those carry a FREE badge in the catalogue. They are usually shorter introductory calls. Treat one as a low-risk way to find out whether a mentor is worth booking properly, rather than as a full consultation.
Each mentor sets their own price and session length, and both are shown on the card and on the session page before you book. There is no subscription and no minimum commitment - you are paying for the one session you book.
Mentors apply through ClearLevel and are reviewed before a profile is published. Nobody self-publishes a listing.
Every session page shows the mentor's qualification, level and the areas they help with, so you can judge the fit before paying.
You are booking a specific person, not a pool. If a mentor's profile does not cover what you want to ask, book someone whose profile does.
Cleared the level you want to mentor for? You set your own price, length and availability.

It is a private, one-on-one call between you and a mentor who has already been through the CA, CS or CMA journey. You pick a mentor and a session length, book a slot, and use the time for whatever you need most - a study plan, a subject you keep failing, an articleship decision or a career question. It is guidance, not a lecture, so the agenda is yours.
A class teaches the syllabus to a room. A mentorship call solves your specific problem. Nobody in a class can tell you why your Advanced Accounting attempt went wrong, whether to take both groups together, or which firm to pick for articleship. That is what a mentor is for. Most students use both: classes for the syllabus, a mentor for the decisions around it.
Yes. Mentors can list a session as free, and those are marked with a FREE badge in the catalogue above. Free sessions are usually shorter introductory calls, which makes them a low-risk way to see whether a mentor is a good fit before booking a longer paid session.
Each mentor sets their own price and session length, so the price is shown on every card and on the session page before you book. There is no subscription and no minimum commitment - you pay for the single session you book.
No. Sessions are on-demand rather than scheduled batches, so you book when you actually need the help - the week before an attempt, the day a result comes out, or when an articleship offer is on the table.
Mentors apply through ClearLevel and are reviewed before their profile goes live. Every mentor's qualification, level and area of help are shown on their session page so you can judge the fit yourself. If a mentor's profile does not say they have done what you want to ask about, book someone whose profile does.
CA Foundation, CA Intermediate and CA Final, CS Executive and CS Professional, and CMA Foundation, Intermediate and Final. Use the level filter in the catalogue above to see only the mentors relevant to your stage.
The calls that go best have one clear problem. Good examples: build me a revision plan for the next eight weeks, tell me why I keep scoring 45 in Costing, help me decide between one group and both, review my articleship options, or explain what actually happens after qualifying. Bring your marksheet or a list of topics and the mentor has something concrete to work with.
Yes, and it is one of the better times to do it. A single call before registration can settle whether CA, CS or CMA suits you, what the realistic time commitment is, and how to plan the first attempt - questions that are much more expensive to get wrong a year in.
The session appears in your ClearLevel dashboard with the joining details, and the mentor is notified. Paid bookings are confirmed once payment succeeds. Free sessions are confirmed immediately.
Yes. Qualified CAs, CSs and CMAs, and senior students who have cleared the level they want to mentor for, can apply through the become a mentor page. You set your own session length, price and availability, and ClearLevel handles discovery, booking and payment.
No. ClearLevel is an independent learning platform and is not affiliated with or endorsed by ICAI, ICSI or ICMAI. Mentors share their own experience and opinions; for registration, eligibility, fees and exam dates always confirm the position on the relevant institute's official website.
