Q&A
Our Tutoring and Mentoring Program in the project HEIs is a support initiative designed to assist students in higher education institutions. The mentoring component pairs experienced mentors with students who need academic or professional guidance. The tutoring component brings together senior students and freshmen students to help the latter feel more confident in the university environment.
Mentor – is an experienced and trusted adviser who teaches or gives help and advice to students.
Mentee – is a university student who is mentored by the mentor to train new skills to achieve learning goals.
Tutor – is a university senior-year student who provides support to the tutee.
Tutee – is a first-year student with fewer opportunities who needs support with adaptation to the university environment.
