More than a teacher: Who is a mentor and why your child needs one.

A mentor is an authoritative adult who guides and helps a kid with defining her/himself, the interests, and abilities. The main difference from a teacher is that a mentor doesn't teach the school curriculum, but helps you find your own life and career path. Mentor's working areas: • Helping you find your weaknesses and strengths; • Defining interests; • Choosing a profession; • Combating bad habits; • Solving problems in communication with peers. Why mentoring? Mentoring is aimed at making one adjusted to life, that is to be able to think effectively, explore one's potential, and build skills to use them in some difficult situations.
