MENTORING Top Tips

• Expect change to be gradual. Take time to establish the relationship.

• Be consistent.

• Don’t over commit.

• Treat your mentee as an equal but establish boundaries.

• Encourage them to find their own solutions and take responsibility for their actions.

• Show them how to give themselves power to overcome and achieve (in a way that is not at another’s expense).

• Recognise your limits and pass on issues or matters that are beyond your experience or involvement to the school or to ReachOut managers.

• You are not an expert but you might know someone who is to whom you can refer your mentee.

• Just be yourself!
