‘What do think peer mentoring is?’ – this question asked four student mentors visitors of the Get Ahead 2015 Conference at London Metropolitan University. That’s the answers they’ve received:

• Opening opportunities
• A fun and engaging module which encourages support, student social interaction (free from judgment)
• Supportive and helpful
• Someone who provides a lot of support to others
• It’s about right advice
• My right hand when I need help with assignments
• Guiding to the right path
• Guiding students with their academic work
• Allows you to be supported with anything that you need
• In life there are land mines, you need a mentor who has gone ahead  to mentor you
• Student and student collaboration
• Mentors and mentees are able to engage together
• Someone that’s gone through the same as you and is there to tell it will be okay
