About Student Mentors
Student Mentors are undergraduate and postgraduate students who have experienced the same worries and difficulties of studying and have been trained to support other students through the University's peer-led Mentoring Scheme.
What they do
Student Mentors can help you with a range of academic issues, helping you develop your study skills. Support is provided via email or during drop-in sessions held twice a week.
Mentors share their own experience and skills, along with signposting existing services which you might find helpful.
Mentors can help with:
- revision skills and planning
- essay structuring
- help with presentations
- time management.
Who they are
All Student Mentors are studying in the School of Law, Politics and Sociology as either undergraduate or postgraduate students.
They have been through the same experiences of getting to grips with studying at Sussex and are passionate about their subject and helping others.
All Student Mentors have been trained and work closely with staff in departments and across Sussex.
