Student Guide: Finding & Joining Your First Class

Mentor.lk · Student Onboarding

Finding your first class as a student

A complete walkthrough of the student journey — from searching for the right mentor to sitting a quiz and joining a live class. We follow Kasun, an A/L student looking for help with Combined Mathematics, from his first search to his first live session. Every screen shown here is real, captured live on the platform.

How to use this guide: each section below is written as a voice-over script — read it aloud while your screen recorder plays back the matching screenshot, and you have a narrated training video. No video-editing needed on your end beyond that.

Getting into a course

Enrolling in a course

Clicking View Profile takes Kasun to Priya’s full instructor page — her bio, rating, and every course she’s published. He finds “A/L Combined Mathematics – Complete Course” and clicks through to its course page.

“The course page works like a shop listing: title, category, and instructor at the top, a full description and content outline in the middle, and a pricing box on the right — this course is Free, so it’s a single click to get in. Paid courses show a price here instead, with an Add to Cart or Buy Now button that takes you through checkout.”

Kasun clicks Enroll Now. The page reloads and the pricing box is instantly replaced with a Course Progress tracker showing 0 of 2 completed — he’s enrolled, and the course content is now unlocked for him.

Enrollment validity: most courses on Mentor.lk are lifetime access once you enrol — check the box on the course page for the exact terms, since some courses may set a fixed access period instead.

Inside the course

Reviewing course content

From the course page, Kasun opens the first lesson — “Lesson 1.1: Arithmetic & Geometric Progressions” — under Topic 1: Algebra & Series. This switches to the course player: a left-hand sidebar listing every topic and lesson, with the lesson content itself on the right.

“Read through the lesson, and when you’re done, click Mark as Complete at the top. Your progress bar updates immediately — Kasun goes from 0 of 2 to 1 of 2, 50% — and the player automatically moves you on to the next item in the topic, which in this case is the quiz.”

Notes & comments: every lesson has Notes and Comments tabs next to Overview — Notes are private and just for you, while Comments let you ask your instructor a question directly on that lesson.

Testing yourself

Answering a quiz

The player lands on “Quiz 1: Sequences & Series” and shows the basics before anything starts — 1 question, up to 10 attempts, and an 80% passing grade. Kasun clicks Start Quiz.

“This quiz has one multiple-choice question: ‘The 5th term of the sequence 3, 7, 11, 15, … is:’ with two options, 17 and 19. Working from the lesson he just read — the sequence adds 4 each time — Kasun selects 19 and clicks Submit Quiz.”

The quiz grades instantly. Because it’s above the 80% passing grade, the course player marks the quiz complete too — Kasun’s progress jumps to 2 of 2, 100% — and he’s dropped back on the course page with a View Certificate button and a prompt to rate the course.

If you don’t pass: with attempts remaining, a failed quiz simply lets you retry — your instructor sets how many attempts are allowed and the passing grade when they build the quiz.

Live teaching

Joining a live Zoom class

Course content isn’t the only thing waiting for Kasun — Priya has also booked a live Zoom class linked to this course. To see it, Kasun opens Student Live Sessions from the left sidebar, available anywhere on the site once you’re logged in.

“This page lists every upcoming class from courses you’re enrolled in — the date and time, duration, which course it belongs to, the instructor’s name, and which room it’s assigned to. A countdown shows exactly how long until the class starts. The Enter Class button stays disabled with a note — ‘Available once instructor starts the class’ — right up until Priya actually starts the session, at which point it lights up and takes Kasun straight into the live room.”

Student Live Sessions — the confirmed class, its countdown, and the Enter Class button.

Notifications: you’ll get an email as the class approaches, and if the instructor recorded the session, the recording is usually added back into the course itself afterwards — so it’s always worth checking the course content again after a live class you attended.
