What is mentoring? Why is it important?
Importance and Benefits of Mentoring
A mentor is defined in the dictionary as “an experienced, trustworthy adviser.”
A mentor is someone who can develop a long-term relationship with him or her that is focused on building the growth and development of those who are important. The counselor does not work every day to help the client make decisions, but they are there to act as someone who can provide support, wisdom, and instruction over time.
The mentor should not be confused with the coach. A coach is a person who focuses on strengths and weaknesses. The coach’s relationship with the athlete or their client tends to end, while the mentor/mentee relationship lasts longer and is less well formed.

Making mistakes at school or in business can be inevitable. However, you can learn lessons from your teacher’s past experiences and stories so that you can avoid making serious mistakes in your life.

A mentor is like an experienced adviser. Mentoring someone is giving all the needful and useful bits of advice to the individual.
After the parents, a mentor is the most important person in an individual’s life. A mentor is the one who molds the individual from the initial stage of life and makes the individual into and perfect one. Even though the teacher schools or beats sometimes, it is all for the well-being of the student and bright future of the student.
The first mentor in everyone’s life is their mother. Beginning with the correct thing, the first mistake of the child, mother plays a very important role in correcting many of the mistakes in an individual’s life. Also, the father corrects the mistakes and puts the children. The teacher is very important in our students’ life to achieve their desired goals.
Mentors play a very important role in making the student perfect and make them understand the need of the situation. Mentors help the students to reach their desired goals, and in any situation mentor motivates a student to get up and stand in all the ups and downs. Like the mother and the father, the mentor also feels equally happy when their student achieves high in their life and when they reach their desired goals.
Whatever the situation or whatever the condition, in any circumstances, the mentors never leave the hand of the student and help the student to the fullest. So, a student never behaves disrespectfully with the mentor and never makes fun of the teachers.
