When I was doing my Cambridge course, I faced several challenges, and my colleague provided valuable support. Now, as a mentor, I want to ensure that my mentee benefits from a meaningful and supportive experience.

To achieve this, I will set clear goals, foster trust and open communication, provide structured guidance, and encourage self-reflection and problem-solving. Regular check-ins will help track progress, and I will create an environment that promotes a growth mindset.

However, challenges may arise, such as a lack of engagement, time constraints, or a reluctance to open up. I will address these by understanding my mentee’s learning style, maintaining flexibility in scheduling, and building trust gradually. By adopting a collaborative and supportive approach, I will ensure that both my mentee and I grow through this experience.
