• Goal Setting: Work with mentees to set realistic goals and create strategies to achieve them.

• Academic Coaching: Discuss academic strengths and weaknesses, offering guidance on how to improve and succeed.

• Engaging Activities: Incorporate fun and educational activities to strengthen your relationship and keep interactions dynamic and enjoyable.

• Empowerment: Empower mentees to take active roles in setting the agenda for meetings and activities, ensuring their voices are heard.  

• Support and Respect: Offer a supportive ear for all aspects of life and respect the trust placed in you by your mentee.
