1:1 Mentoring with pathwright.com - how does it work?

1:1 mentoring (individual mentoring) is a teaching method where a mentor focuses on a single mentee, adjusting the pace and scope of the material to their needs. This personalized form of education is growing in popularity, especially in the era of remote learning. E-learning platforms -- led by Pathwright -- enable conducting 1:1 mentoring online in an organized and interactive way. In this article, we explain what Pathwright is, how it can be used for individual mentoring, and what benefits it brings to mentors and students. At the end, we also suggest how to handle payments and invoicing for mentoring services on Pathwright in Poland.

What is the Pathwright platform?

Pathwright is a modern platform for creating online courses and learning paths, described by its creators as "an elegant alternative to an LMS." Users can design a step-by-step learning path (called a Path) on any topic -- from uploading materials, through assignments and quizzes, to discussions -- all in one place. The platform allows you to arrange course modules (steps), add content using blocks (text, video, audio, PDF, etc.), and then invite a specific group of people to participate in the course. Importantly, Pathwright is very flexible: you can invite a large group of students (a cohort) as well as conduct classes one-on-one, personally mentoring each participant. In other words, the platform works for both mass training and individual 1:1 mentoring, providing tools for personalized teaching.

1:1 Mentoring on the Pathwright platform

One of Pathwright's pillars is its focus on personalized learning. The platform's guiding motto is "Person to person" -- centering teaching around each student with individual 1:1 support, whether you have 1 or 1,000,000 students. In practice, this means Pathwright provides all the tools a mentor needs to accompany each mentee on their unique educational journey.

How does it work? The platform introduces the Mentor Groups feature, which allows you to create groups of students (e.g., assigned to a specific mentor) and track their learning progress. A mentor can be assigned to a specific student or group and gains access to insights into the courses they are taking. Pathwright allows a mentor to observe a mentee's progress across all courses, evaluate their work, and provide individual guidance and feedback -- even if the mentor is not the course author or lead instructor. Students can work through the material at their own pace, and the mentor can assign additional learning paths appropriate to the mentee's level and goals as needed. This personalization means each student can follow a slightly different path through the material, rather than rigidly adhering to the group's program or schedule -- which is especially valuable in 1:1 mentoring.

Pathwright also offers built-in communication and feedback mechanisms. The mentor has access to a task review inbox, where they receive consolidated notifications about new assignments or milestones marked for review by the student. This enables them to provide comments, evaluations, or guidance on every lesson, project, or assignment in real time. Such quick feedback within the platform ensures the student receives support exactly when they need it, and the mentor never misses a progress update or issue.

It is worth adding that Pathwright also allows incorporating synchronous elements into a mentoring program. You can integrate, for example, Zoom meetings, calendar events, or video conferences as steps in a path -- meaning live 1:1 sessions can also be part of an organized course. A mentor can schedule an online consultation with their mentee and embed the link in the course plan, so everything -- from materials to meeting schedules -- is in one place.

Key Pathwright features supporting 1:1 mentoring

Pathwright provides a range of features designed with mentors and their mentees in mind. Below are the most important ones that make 1:1 mentoring effective and convenient:

- Personalized learning paths (Paths): A mentor can create unique learning paths tailored to a specific student's needs. A course consists of steps (lessons) arranged logically -- from theoretical materials, through exercises, to practical assignments. This structure allows the mentor to gradually introduce knowledge and observe how the student handles each stage of learning. If needed, the mentor can edit the path or add a new course/path for the student to cover additional areas requiring attention.
- Mentor Groups: Even when conducting individual mentoring, Pathwright lets you organize your students into so-called mentor groups. Such a group can include even just one person -- its main purpose is to assign a mentor to a given student (or group of students) and have a single place to manage their learning. Within a Mentor Group, the mentor sees a list of their mentees, their progress in various courses, and has the ability to communicate. For those mentoring more than one mentee, this is an invaluable feature for staying organized.
- Progress tracking and analytics: Every step completed by a student is recorded. The mentor can see which lessons have been completed, how long it took to absorb the material, what quiz scores were achieved, and more. This makes it easy to identify areas where the mentee needs additional support. The platform also allows reviewing a student's work and projects in one place and checking whether a given stage has been completed or is awaiting evaluation.
- Built-in communication and feedback: Pathwright eliminates the need to juggle emails or separate messaging tools. Each course has a discussion forum and comment sections, and additionally the mentor receives notifications about student assignments awaiting review. They can leave comments directly at specific course steps. This centralization of communication makes maintaining continuity and transparency in mentoring easier -- both mentor and student can see the feedback history in the context of the material.
- Flexible learning formats: As mentioned, Pathwright supports diverse teaching formats. You can combine asynchronous materials (self-paced courses) with live elements (e.g., mentoring Q&A sessions via chat or video meetings). All of this can be woven into the path schedule so the student has a clear action plan. This makes online 1:1 mentoring just as engaging as traditional face-to-face meetings, while being significantly more accessible and convenient.
- Knowledge monetization and subscriptions: For mentors, it is also important that Pathwright enables selling courses and mentoring programs. After creating your own "school" on the platform, you can set a price for access to a given Path (course) or even offer paid subscription plans for mentoring. The platform integrates directly with the Stripe payment processor, allowing you to quickly start accepting fees from participants. Simply connect your Stripe account to Pathwright (the process takes just seconds) and set a course price so students can pay for access online via credit card. Importantly, Pathwright does not charge commissions on course sales -- payments are subject only to standard Stripe fees (approximately 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction). This allows a mentor to easily monetize their mentoring services without needing to build a complicated store infrastructure.

Benefits of using Pathwright for 1:1 mentoring

Using the Pathwright platform brings numerous benefits for both the mentor and the student:

For the mentor: Above all, it saves time and provides convenience. All materials, assignments, student progress, and communication are gathered in one system -- the mentor does not need to use multiple separate tools. Pathwright's intuitive interface means you spend more time on substantive work with your mentee and less on technical matters. Many course creators emphasize that the platform is easy to use and reliable, allowing them to focus on creating valuable content rather than solving technical problems. Moreover, the mentor has full control over the learning process -- they can adjust the plan on the fly, add new modules or materials for a given student, which would be harder to achieve in a traditional group course.

For the student: Individual mentoring with Pathwright means a clear development path and a sense of constant support. The student has clearly defined learning stages and can see their progress, which is motivating. At the same time, they know that the mentor is tracking their results and is available to offer help or feedback whenever difficulties or questions arise. This attention from the mentor increases the student's engagement and enables faster skill development. Additionally, thanks to the platform's flexibility, the student can learn at their own pace and at convenient times, without losing the structure and discipline imposed by a well-designed online course.

How to issue an invoice for a Pathwright.com transaction in Poland?

Since Pathwright allows paid courses and mentoring, the question of financial settlements arises. The platform uses the Stripe payment system, which handles card transactions worldwide. In Poland, Stripe is available, but it is important to remember that a Stripe transaction itself is not the same as issuing a VAT invoice for the client. A mentor running a business must document every client payment with an invoice. How can this be done efficiently when sales occur through a foreign platform?

Dedicated integrations come to the rescue. Striptu (striptu.com) is a tool created precisely for this purpose -- it offers a fast integration of Stripe with the Polish invoicing system Fakturownia.pl. It works very simply: Striptu automatically collects transactions from Stripe and passes them to Fakturownia, generating VAT invoices after each payment. This means that as soon as a student pays for your course or mentoring session on Pathwright (via Stripe), an invoice is generated almost immediately containing all required data. Then, thanks to Fakturownia's automation options, the invoice can be sent directly to the client by email. This solution eliminates manual document creation -- saving time and reducing the risk of errors.

In practice, to use this capability, you need to create an account on the Striptu service and connect three elements: your Stripe account, your Fakturownia.pl account, and your Striptu account. The setup process is simple and takes just a few minutes, without requiring advanced technical knowledge. After integration, every subsequent Pathwright/Stripe transaction will be automatically reflected as a VAT invoice in your accounting system. This allows a mentor operating in Poland to legally and seamlessly settle income from Pathwright, maintaining full compliance with tax regulations.



In summary, Pathwright is a powerful tool for anyone who wants to conduct online 1:1 mentoring at the highest level. It provides structure, interactivity, and personalization, allowing the mentor to focus on what matters most -- the individual development of their mentee. Furthermore, the integration with Stripe (and indirectly with Polish invoicing systems) simplifies business matters such as accepting payments and issuing invoices. If you are a mentor or plan to share your knowledge through courses and one-on-one consultations, it is worth considering Pathwright as the foundation of your digital school. With it, mentoring becomes organizationally simpler, yet remains just as effective and focused on personal connection as in its traditional form.
