How will it help ?

Mentoring is a good way of developing the social, communication and leadership skills of mentors, as well as providing mentees with additional support, advice, encouragement and even friendship to overcome problems. It helps encourage positive role models and enhances the confidence & self-esteem of both mentor and mentee. A good mentoring programme can help enhance attendance, attainment and the emotional well being of students.
