Mentoring Philosophy My approach to mentoring is developmental and student-centered. I aim to meet students where they are at in their academic journey and provide support, resources, and guidance for growth. I also aim to learn individually about students and their background/experiences and provide the support and feedback they need to grow in ways that support their learning styles.
