“A mentor is someone who sees more talent and ability within you, than you see in yourself, and helps bring it out of you.” — Bob Proctor
If you have already done research into how to improve your academic skills and reach your full potential, you have probably heard of Academic Mentoring Services. If not, or if you feel like you still need more details, please read below.
What does Academic Mentoring mean?
Mentoring in general means that a person who has more knowledge than another person helps them in the form of training or advice. Academic Mentoring means that this situation is applied to your education and career goals, meaning someone who has the necessary knowledge can help you to improve your educational outputs and/or help define your goals.
How can Academic Mentoring help me?
Academic Mentoring helps students to reach their full potential, in the way that their academic progress is monitored, analysed and improved. Based on your personal career aims, we can help you to reach your goals; or if you do not yet have set goals, we can give you advise on what you could do based on your interests, strengths and weaknesses. For example, this could mean helping you to choose the right GCSEs, A-Levels or University course, providing you with experienced tutors if needed, preparing you for important interviews and more.
