This has been a very gratifying opportunity to give back. It has also helped me with planning and delivering as well as communicating with students and learning to adapt my teaching style to their needs. The peer mentoring involves meeting with a student every 2 weeks and assisting them with math revision, homework, or any concepts the student is struggling with.
