Best Mentor Analysis

I believe a good mentor should have the ultimate goal of successfully teaching the student, meanwhile, guiding them properly in a manner in which he/she learns by themselves. In the National Honors Society, I have participated in a program called “Mustang Buddies”.

Clutterbuck & Megginson (1999, p.17) describe mentoring as being like ‘standing in front of a mirror with a trusted other, who can help you see things that you do not know how to see, or that have become too familiar for you to notice’. It is a helping relationship between an individual with potential and an individual with expertise. This multi-dimensional relationship is a partnership between those in similar roles, who can support each other. A number of roles of the mentor have been listed by Bolton (2010, p.193): role model, enabler, teacher, encourager, counsellor, befriender, facilitator, coach, confidante, supporter and ‘un-learner’. To be successful roles and responsibilities of those involved need to be clear and they need to be matched to each other and understand expectations of them.

God placed a desire in her heart to make a difference in the lives of children specifically to help heal and show love to those who are products of broken homes such as single parent homes. This has led Keah to become the COO of Sage Kids. She diligently works alongside the mentors of Sage Mentoring to create programs that are similar but uniquely formatted just for the children of the mothers who receive mentoring through Sage Mentoring. It is clear to Keah that God has called her for a purpose of nurturing, teaching and building up the children who at times are the forgotten, overlooked and fighting an uphill battle due to the circumstances they find themselves surrounded

Mentors give you the advantage of learning from someone else’s mistakes. They share the experiences they went through to get to where they are today. By learning about the mistakes and experiences, you no longer need to waste your time. Having a good mentor allows you to find the best and easiest way to almost anything.

In life, we all have a mentor who looks out for us. A figure that stands out and serves as a foundation for how our future ends up. Mentors can be our closest relatives, our best friends, or even people that we’ve never met, just those who stand out to us. Mentors teach us principles that they want us to follow and think is best. They mold us with their knowledge and shape us into people that they want us to be.

Learning mentors tend to work on a one to one level or in small numbered groups, a learning mentor must be a good listener, be able to encourage and motivate and act as a role model and encourage the build up of a mutually respectful relationship (Hayward, 2001).

From the past year of joining the EY College Map Mentoring Program, I have learn numerous things about the program. I have learn to never give up in life, study skills, advice from my mentors. They have given me advice on Financial Aid, assist me to learn about scholarships and applying toward the next step of Education. Ey Mentors has help me so much in tutoring for tests, especially the Act and Sat. For my first time I had achieve a composite score of 18 and a 24 in reading. Which I really love. The mentors made learning educational and fun. I learn that I don’t have to stress about some things in life. I learn to work ahead of time and work on my Time-Management skills. I must make time in College for studying and having fun. It’s always

I hope your day is going well. I justed wanted to thank you for notifying me that my documentation was delivered successfully, and the possible mentorship opportunity. I am currently in the process of scheduling the first meeting with Dr. El-Shall. I've never had a professional mentor before and I'm exted about this new opportunity. I'm looking forward to hearing from you throughout the school year.

Mentoring for the mentor is about challenging himself to perform to greater capabilities while nurturing a mentee and stretching them to realise their full potential. Mentors counsel, tutor and guide their mentees in developing themselves.

Not quite as often in life, we encounter a special someone that without you even noticing, makes a great impact in your life. This special someone was one of my teachers. It was not so long ago when I met my mentor. It was a dark and rainy day, the first day of Fundamental, my heart was pounding so hard, that I was able to hear every single beat; it was impossible to relax. I was sitting in the room with no friends around me as I told myself, this is not for me! But there she was sitting at her desk waiting for all her students to join the class. She looked very confident and very patient. As soon as the last bell rang, she said; ”Hi everyone, my name is Ms. Burgos, I will be your Fundamental instructor, by the end of this course

It takes a lot of commitment to be a mentor, an appropriate meeting time needs to be discussed between mentor and mentee so that it doesn't conflict with family, school, and/or social life. Mentors are usually provided for: troubled teens, young children with busy parents that work, children or teens with special needs such as Autism or ADHD, or anyone under or over the age of 18 who needs to have one on one time with someone they trust and can talk to confidentially.

It has been two weeks since I started as a peer mentor for Dr. Flanagan’s class. I have had the chance of mentoring for Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) for two years and just recently, being a part of the Science mentorship program. I thought I had a decent understanding of what it meant to be a peer mentor but just after these two weeks in SCIE 511, I realized I could have helped my previous mentees so much more. I didn’t know what cues to look for in the mentee when I talked to them or how to truly enforce deeper learning and not just simple memorization. If I could go back in time, I would have told past Dennis to pay attention to the mentee’s emotion and to recognize that each mentee has different levels of learning.

If you are looking for a good mentor, chances are you are going to want someone who listens to you. "If you make listening and observation your occupation you will gain much more than you can by talk." Robert Baden-Powell (brainyquotes.com). Being a good-listener can also let you know which areas this individual might be struggling in. By listening, you can help the person out more than giving them advice. To be a good mentor, you are going to need to be a good-listener.

With the development of the more organic and less formal organisational structures the role of mentors has shifted with these changes. Unlike previously where mentors where seen as formal trainers who taught newcomers the processes and got them acquainted with the cultures and the systems within the organisation. Which required good interpersonal skills and a good knowledge of the activity or tasks the mentee would have to undertake, and be able to effectively relay or demonstrate the tasks or activities to the mentee. As opposed to more recently where a mentor would have to be more of an emotional counselor and demonstrate more skills than were traditionally required from
