Mentor to a student with a disability
Are you interested in supporting a fellow student? Being a mentor for a student with a disability is an important assignment where you can help with planning, prioritising and support and create study motivation.
Support in the everyday study life
The mentorship is a part of the disability study support which is offered to students at the University who have a disability that is an obstacle in their studies. As a mentor, you act as a support in the everyday study life for another student.
As a mentor, you will:
- support and create study motivation
- act as a sounding board
- help prioritise, plan, make weekly schedules and goals
- be a discussion partner, but not act as a teacher or counsellor
The goal of the mentorship is to help the student become more independent.
Good traits as a mentor
There are some personality traits that are good for a mentor to have, and that make it possible to have a good relationship within the mentorship. If you are interested in becoming a mentor, you should:
- be interested in people
- be patient and flexible
- be attentive and be able to put yourself in others’ perspectives
- be good at planning and structuring
- be responsible
- have studied a few semesters and have found a good study technique
