Understanding their style helps you adapt your mentorship so they stay engaged and make faster progress.
1. Use the UNI Learner Type Test Results
Many learners take the UNI Learner Type Test during onboarding.
Review their report before your first session—it includes preferred learning environments, strategies, and potential challenges.
Use these insights to tailor your communication and session design.
2. Adapt Your Approach
Here are examples of how you might adjust based on learner type:
Highly Structured Learners – Provide clear agendas, step-by-step guidance, and progress tracking.
Exploratory Learners – Offer open-ended challenges and encourage independent discovery.
Collaborative Learners – Include group work, peer discussion, or shared projects when possible.
Self-Paced Learners – Give flexible timelines and resources they can explore independently.
3. Ask and Listen
Even with a learner type report, preferences can vary.
Ask learners directly what helps them learn best.
Check in regularly to see if your approach is still working for them.
4. Keep It Flexible
Learning styles can shift depending on the topic, goal, or personal circumstances.
Be ready to change methods as the learner’s needs evolve.
5. Share Your Mentor Type
Take the UNI Mentor Type Quiz yourself to understand your natural style.
If you share your mentor type with learners, it can open a conversation about how to work together effectively.
💡 Tip: The best mentorship happens when both mentor and learner are aware of—and respect—each other’s styles.
