Mentoring

Introduction

The purpose of this essay is to analyze my performance as a mentor. I will explore how to form these relationships, cultivated and maintained, reflect on the challenges that are faced during the course of facilitating the learning process, and critically analyze the mentor's role in delivering the learning (Wigens 2006, Pp. 44-58). I will also discuss what feedback processes and strategies will enhance and develop the learning process, the role of the mentors in general, and the overall accountability in facilitating the learning process. Finally, the essay will conclude with the challenges that I have faced and that are yet to come for me as a mentor.

However, according to my knowledge the modern usage of the word mentor is taken as a trusted friend, counsellor or teacher, usually a more knowledgeable person. Some industries have "mentoring programs” that new immigrants paired with experienced people who advise them, and as an example, because of their progress. Schools sometimes provide improved guidance programs for students, or students with difficulties.
