Mentor Goals and Expectations
A peer mentor is an individual that will build trust by providing encouragement, support, and guidance. This will enhance the character and competence of the mentee. The following is a list we urge our mentors to adhere to in improving the student’s collegiate experience.
Be on time. You should honor a student’s time when you schedule a tutoring session. You may be the only person they can rely on for their academic and personal growth.
Be consistent. Consistency builds trustworthy relationships. Therefore you must be a reliable source for the mentee.
Be Respectful. As a mentor, you should develop a student’s aptitude for conflict resolution, greater patience, better study habits, improve organizational and communication skills.
Be Challenging. Make the tutored subject more engaging …show more content…

Belittling and voicing dissatisfaction will only devalue the peer mentoring relationship. As a result, you should continually be optimistic and identify the mentee’s strength and weakness to support their emotional well-being.
Be an Active Listener. Empathy without being judgmental is crucial in building a mentee’s confidence. Therefore, a mentor must strive to listen to their mentee while maintaining eye contact and a composed posture. Provide Feedback. Feedback helps an individual to determine their weakness and strengthen their potential. It is essential for a mentor’s personal growth and career development.
Mentee Roles and Responsibilities
By building self- awareness, values, empathy, and capacity for respect from mentors, a mentee can enhance their personal, academic and professional growth through constructive dialogue.
Be on Time. You should honor a mentor’s time when you schedule a tutoring session. This applies to returning phone calls or texts in a prompt manner.

Be an Active Listener. Allowing your mentor to take the lead at times while listening them as this will build your social skill by assessing the context of the

    Mentoring can be that hand that reaches down and pulls you out of the pit. Mentoring can change lives forever and create permanent relationships. Mentoring can help a child get on the right track if they do not have someone else to help them. Whether they have grown up without active parents, have gotten into trouble from time to time, or even if they are a straight A student, the youth needs mentoring. It will build a country that has a solid foundation in which the current youth of America will one day lead.

  • Mentorship and Career Development: An Organizational Approach

    One of the biggest pros is having access to an experienced person’s knowledge and contacts. Another big pro is the ability to get quick honest answers to your questions; also you can gain a different perspective not just the ones from your peers. Honest feedback is also a good pro in an excellent mentoring program because an individual can receive honest feedback on what they are doing well and what skills they are deficient in and how to improve. Honest and constructive feedback can be a win-win situation for everyone involved because the organization gains a well-rounded employee and the employee becomes more efficient in doing their job well (Lipman.2017). A good mentor can help mentees to set realistic and honest career goals and development especially if they have already been through the process. As the individual becomes more engaged and exposed within the organization this can foster a sense of pride and loyalty to the organization because they feel

  • Core Theoretical Models of Coaching and Mentoring

    1169 Words  | 3 Pages

    Coaching and mentoring are not about learning to do something the right way, but are about helping to lead an individual to find their own way of doing it practically and efficiently. Coaching and mentoring sessions are guided with theoretical models, which help focus both the coach and the coachee in attaining desired outcomes for problem situations. However, even with the aid of theoretical models not everyone can coach another person. The first and far most important attribute of a coach is the ability to build relationships with the coachee in that the coachee feels safe and trusting towards the coach, without the capability to interact with the client there may be a lack of progress or motivation. Another important skill of a coach is not to judge.

  • My Mentoring

    I work with high school students on Saturdays trying to educate them more on different scientific concepts like heart anatomy or blood typing. I have gone a step further in this activity by mentoring an 11th grade student. This one-on-one mentoring allows me to establish a more personal rapport with my mentee. I encourage him to go onto college, tutor him with his ACT/SAT, and talk to him about ways that he can grow as a human being within his own community. His dream is to become a pediatrician, so I keep him updated on my progress through the pre-medical education process. I talk to him about the mistakes I have made going through college, hoping he will not make the same mistakes.

    During my time at Arizona State University, I was given the opportunity to mentor freshman students. This position allowed me to lead incoming freshman that were interested in the School of Life Sciences. I provided them with insight toward succeeding in curricula, assistance in course registration, and information on how to find volunteer, research and work experiences. In the beginning of my mentorship, I was teaching in an authoritative manner, but I wasn’t receiving a positive reaction how I anticipated. I tried several approaches which targeted different personalities and behaviors. I discovered that being mindfully present is essential to engaging my mentees toward improved performance in life. Most of the mentors I spoke with agreed

    In the Mentoring for Success program I was able to monitor the effect of mentoring on a student’s academic progress and ability to transition to college by administering regular assessments. But perhaps the best method in determining a good mentor-mentee match was observing how they interacted with one another in program meetings and outings. It was pleasing to see mentors and their mentees work as a team to excel on the health quiz and applaud each other for hitting their target number of steps in the pedometer

  • Being A Mentor

    949 Words  | 2 Pages

    Being a mentor has taught me many things such as how to deal with different problems in life, help others, keep conversations going, being in charge of a group and being a role model. All these things have helped me in not only school but also my social life. They helped me with life problems because when I get stuck in a sticky situation and I don't know what to do I think of the advise I would give others and rely on my own decisions not anyone else’s. Mentoring helped me become more responsible and be more confident in my own decisions. If I wouldn’t have been apart of the mentor program this year I don’t think I would be half as mature as I am now. I appreciate all the opportunities the program gave me like making new friends, building more relationships with different people and helping me become more accepting. I now am able to keep a conversation in a group going when things seem to get awkward or quite. I feel like this is an important trait to have because depending on

    It is a relationship that optimizes collective growth. While the mentor expounds about their insights, the mentee brings those insights into their own reality. Simultaneously, the mentee empowers the mentor by implementing their own vision through skills coached by the mentor.

  • Importance Of Active Mentoring

    How the mentee sees the process of the mentoring relationship is important. When a mentee views mentoring as a positive process, mentoring will be the most effective (Connor and Pokora, 2012). Mentors are often faced with difficult mentees but it is just as important to affirm the person as they are. Mentors may not agree with the mentee’s behaviours or views but Connor and Pokora (2012) suggests that mentors should aim to suspend their judgement and evaluations. For a positive rapport to be built, there needs to be an openness and sense of ease in the relationship (Wallace and Gravell, 2008). Personal chemistry plays a large part in the success of the mentoring process but compatibility is not necessarily all about have similar personalities or attitudes (Wallace and Gravell, 2008). A mentor with a different outlook and background may initially be challenging but can also result in a greater effect of learning from the mentee (Wallave and Gravell, 2008). However, mentors will generally have more experience and expertise than the mentee but without being the all powering, successful mentors can make use of their expertise and redirect it upon their mentee to help them generate their own solutions. Connor and Pokora (2012) summarises the differences on how a successful mentor can help the mentee bring out the

    So far the first few weeks of mentoring have gone well. I am enjoying mentoring and my mentees enjoy and look forward to seeing me. I’m starting to get into a routine of preparing myself for mentoring. For example, if I had a long night before or am having a long day, I will mentally prepare myself for mentoring so that I am present and energetic by the time I see my mentees. Also, I am learning a lot about my kids; from their hobbies, their home life and their academic needs.
