Who are peer mentors?

Peer mentor is someone, who has experienced the same subject as you and understands the challenges you’re facing. They can help you:

Understand your course content and how to approach assessment tasks
Prepare for exams
Get help with a range of computer applications, such as Excel, MYOB, Python, MS Project, SPSS, Java, C++, MATLAB, Catia or 3DExperience.

How a peer mentor could help me?

By working with your peer mentor, you will have an opportunity to find out how they achieved success with their studies and:

Build your academic skills
Create new networks
Improve your grades

What peer mentors won't do for me?

The role of the mentor is to guide you in your studies. They are not tutors, teachers or academics, this means they can’t:

Give you the answer – but they will help you work it out.
Work directly on assessable material – but they can help you apply what you’re learning.
Proofread your work – they’ll direct you to the Academic Skills Team from the Library's Study Support Hub to help with this.
