PRO TIP:
When evaluating whether a mentor would be a good match for your student keep in mind that the greatest leading indicator of success is how well a mentor and their mentee get along.
Questions to ask yourself:
- Would the student find this person inspiring?
- Do they share any interests, hobbies, or lived experiences?
EDUCATION
Watch Matthew M. break down a subject theyβre passionate about.
WHY THIS MATTERS:
Our mentorship sessions happen virtually over Zoom. Itβs important to get a sense of how someoneβs personality can come through on a video call. The best way to ensure your student is excited about learning is to have someone on the other side that they look forward to talking to.
GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT (SO FAR)
Making meaningful connections with friends back at school (π² ):
Trying to lead with a direct approach that allows others to critically envision + examine new possibilities & the feasibility of their thoughts.
Scaffolding/coaching students in their respective subjects, supporting them to reach their goals.
Leaving life a little better than it was originally left through active, strengths-based leadership.
