Good communication is the foundation of a successful mentorship.
The more openly you share your goals, preferences, and challenges, the better your mentor can tailor lessons and guidance to your needs.
1. Before Your First Session
Introduce Yourself – Share your background, current skill level, and why you joined UNI Learn.
State Your Goals – Be specific (e.g., “Improve my business presentation skills within 3 months” instead of “Improve my English”).
Discuss Availability – Confirm preferred days and times, and clarify time zone differences.
Agree on the Session Language – Make sure both you and your mentor are comfortable with the chosen language.
2. During Sessions
Ask Questions – If something isn’t clear, ask immediately.
Give Feedback in Real Time – Let your mentor know if the pace is too fast or too slow.
Stay Engaged – Share examples from your work, life, or projects so lessons feel relevant.
3. Between Sessions
Update Your Mentor – Share progress, challenges, or any changes in your goals.
Respond Promptly – Reply to mentor messages in a timely manner so lesson planning stays on track.
Share Materials – If working on a project, upload drafts or resources for feedback before the next session.
4. When Challenges Arise
Be Honest – If you’re struggling, say so early. Mentors can adjust methods or give extra support.
Clarify Expectations – Misunderstandings are easier to fix when addressed quickly.
💡 Tip: Good communication is a two-way street — your mentor can guide you, but you set the direction by sharing openly and consistently.
