Yes — Same Mentor, Every Session
This is non-negotiable in our model. Your child works with the same Harvard student mentor from their first session to their last. No rotation. No "whoever is available this week."
Why Consistency Matters
1. No Re-Briefing
A mentor who knows your child doesn't need 15 minutes of context at the start of every session. They know the project, the strengths, the areas that need work. Every minute is productive.2. Genuine Relationship
Over 3-6 months, a real relationship forms. The mentor sees growth that a rotating system would miss. They notice patterns: "Last month you struggled with narrowing your research question — look at how precisely you've defined this one." That kind of feedback requires continuity.3. Better Letters of Recommendation
When a mentor has worked with a student for months, they can write a letter that's specific, detailed, and authentic. Not "this student was engaged and hardworking" but "in her third month, she independently identified a flaw in her methodology and redesigned her data collection — that's the kind of thinking that will make her an excellent physician."4. Accountability
When a student knows their mentor remembers what they committed to last week, they show up prepared. Rotating mentors create accountability gaps.What If It's Not a Good Fit?
It's rare, but it happens. If after the first two sessions the match isn't right — communication style, personality, area of interest — we'll reassign to a different mentor. No questions, no charge for the transition sessions.
