Join the scheme
Overview
Please note that awareness raising presentations to recruit student mentors for the academic year 2013-14 do not take place until March 2013. Applications will not be accepted prior to this.
The Student Mentor Scheme at Nottingham Trent University runs in the six schools where there is otherwise little or no other form of one-to-one writing or maths support:
- Nottingham Business School
- Nottingham Law School
- School of Architecture, Design and the Built Environment
- School of Animal, Rural and Environmental Sciences
- School of Education
- School of Science and Technology.
Role
Student mentors are second and third year and postgraduate students who have been trained to help other students to improve their writing and maths. Mentors are available for one-to-one or group sessions and also run a series of café style drop-ins and workshops on maths, proofreading, feedback and revision.
Commitment required
We are looking for students who are able to offer four hours of their time per week to help and support other students. Mentors receive payment for their time; the reward of knowing that they have been able to help a fellow student and increased employability skills.
How many mentors?
We are looking for four mentors per school as follows:
Writing mentors only:
- Nottingham Law School
- School of Animal, Rural and Environmental Sciences
- School of Education
Writing and maths mentors:
- Nottingham Business School
- School of Architecture, Design and the Built Environment
- School of Science and Technology
How much?
Student mentors are currently paid £8.71 per hour.
