Mentoring
ForStudents
Experienced students and alumni accompany newcomers — become a mentor, find and request a mentor, accept and end mentorships.
Why#
Whoever is just starting benefits most from someone who has already walked the path.
How it works#
Click pathCommunityPeer mentoring
- 1In the community open “Peer mentoring — become or find a mentor”.
- 2Become a mentor: enter topics (separated by commas, e.g. “starting studies, exams”) and “About me in brief”, tick “visible as mentor” and save (Fig. 1).
Fig. 1 “Become a mentor”: topics, “About me in brief” and “visible as mentor”. - 3Find a mentor: choose a mentor from the list, optionally write what it is about, and “Request” → “Send” (Fig. 2).
Fig. 2 “Find a mentor”: mentors with their topics and “Request”. - 4Under “My mentorships”, as a mentor “accept” or “decline” requests; running mentorships can be “ended”.

The course of a mentorship#
- A mentor makes themselves visible with topics and a short introduction.
- A mentee makes a request, optionally with a message.
- The mentor accepts or declines.
- Both sides can see a running mentorship under “My mentorships”; it can be ended.
Tips#
- Whoever no longer wants to be found as a mentor unticks “visible as mentor” — running mentorships remain.
