Why use student mentors?

Meet the Mentors
My name is Oluseun Debiyi, however most people call me Seun. I am a forward thinking, second year economics student studying within the Nottingham Business School at NTU.
I am passionate about being a mentor because I want to help students overcome the obstacles I faced while studying in my first year at university. I look forward to working with students and helping them to achieve their overall goals. I will be mentoring in the business maths areas of programmes within the Nottingham Business School.
I have co-founded the NTU Investment Society and after university I would like to go into investment banking or work in the financial sector.
My name is Neha and I am currently a final year Nottingham Business School student studying Business Management and Accounting and Finance.
I am both a Mathematics and Writing mentor but believe my strengths lie in report writing and portfolios, and MINITAB and data analysis. These skills are essential within my course.
I would like to be a mentor as I can relate to the experiences of students new to university and I can use this opportunity to provide help to those in need.
My name is Stuart Harrod and I am currently in my final year of a Business Management and Marketing degree. Last year I completed a year long work placement.
I want to be a Student Mentor to provide help to students who are settling into the new environment of university. I want to use my experience of academic writing for a Business degree to help students adapt to this style as quickly as possible.
My name is Ioana Nitu and I am currently in my third year studying International Business. The areas of mentoring that I am interested in are academic writing andMaths; more precisely, structuring essays, referencing, and business maths.
I want to be a Student Mentor so that I can help students to become familiar with the different types of writing required at university. I would also like to help students understand the logic behind maths questions.
As a Student Mentor, I hope to help students to develop in some of the areas where I needed help in my first year of university
