Mentoring Philosophy Mentoring is a two-way relationship between mentor and mentee. I aim for mentees' to share and establish their interest to guide their part in the project as much as possible. My mentor philosophy includes:
(1) Establishing mentees' baseline understanding before identifying their goals
(2) Developing a relationship founded on mutual respect
(3) Creating a safe environment in which mentees feel that is acceptable to fail and learn from their mistakes and feel comfortable to be themselves
(4) Creating an interactive environment for learning
(4) Balancing accountability with empathy and understanding that life happens
(5) Promoting learning through inquiry and encouraging growth through challenges
