Full course description
Welcome to the Peer Mentoring!!
In order to understand how to be an effective mentor and to get the most out of your mentoring experience, it is important to first understand what a mentor is. At RMIT, Peer Mentors are students who support other students in a volunteer capacity. They help students find success in their studies by sharing their experience and providing encouragement.
One of the early philosophers who wrote about mentoring was Lao Tzu, who lived in China 2500 years ago. He said, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”
