You will receive training and support throughout the programme. You will be asked to hold at least 10 sessions with the students over the course of the academic year 2013-14.

Initial meetings before the summer break.

If you would be interested in being a mentor and would like to know more please contact Lisa Ambler l.m.ambler@lboro.ac.uk.
