2WORKING WITH INDIVIDUAL LEARNERS1.0 Task 1 1.1 Differences between coaching and mentoring The major difference that Rhodes and Fletcher (2013) highlight between mentoring andcoaching is that mentoring refers to a relationship that last for quite a time; whereas, coaching isonly meant for some duration. Mentors are liable to evaluate every aspect of the people underthem; while, on the other hand, coaching is specific and only specific issues are focused toovercome. Tee Ng (2012) furthermore highlight that mentoring emphasizes not only in careerdevelopment but also in personal development but coaching is meant for highlighting someissues at work that should e overcome. I was allowed to mentor a student, who is my junior. I had to mentor him forunderstanding the class syllabus and how to plan his activities so that all the work can besuccessfully implemented. The problem I noticed in m mentee is that he gets nervous when hewas asked to do more than two works at once. Taken for instance, with the course study, whensome course assignment is given, he cannot take the decision what should be covered first.Another major problem that I have noticed is that his major difficulty is in making an effectiveassignment. This is a serious issue as in future he should take all the decisions on his own. Thus,basically I have to develop his attitude so that he could cope up with all the difficulty he is facingafter joining the graduate course. I had started making him learn about the program guidelinesalong with the Graduate School’s procedures and policies. Brouwer et al. (2017) depicted that inorder to understand the thinking capability, a mentor should allow their mentee to speak or sharetheir perception or knowledge. Thus, my role is to provide him a basic road map that he canfollow on any situation but at the same time also encourage him to think about alternative way

In my case also, I did the similar thing and ask whatdifficulty he is facing and how would he take the decision if there were no mentor for him. Ibelief in giving constructive feedback so that my mentee can realize that he is proceeding in thecorrect way and can improve in future. My role here is to provide him guidanceaboutaccomplishing university programs effectively. In addition to that, my role is also remindinghim about his past mistakes so that he can learn from the mistakes in future. As a mentor andsenior, my role is to introduce my mentee with the faculty member of the university so that aneffective interpersonal relationship can be established. 1.2 Effectiveness of the role in helping a student I can say that my role is effective because may major concerned is to share myknowledge to my mentee. I have given some time to develop a good relationship with the menteewhich I think is the most important phase. This is because unless an effective communication isdeveloped, discussion on accurate problem cases cannot be obtained successfully. I alsoencourage self initiative that the mentee took and then evaluate whether or not the process iseffectual. According to David (2016), this procedure is successful as participation of both thementor and mentee can be witnessed but I criticize this process as it takes much time tounderstand a particular thing to the mentee. Thus, in cases, when time lacks, I have to followdifferent strategy that is t direct him with the solution and then make him understand why thatparticular option was opted rather than other. I can also relate this approach with contingencyleadership theory which focuses on undertaking no particular leadership style that can be appliedon every situation. David (2016) stated that leaders adopt strategy best suited for the situationand thus more than one leadership skills can be adopted. I can also say that my mentorship isrelationship oriented and I share experiences and suggestions on different issues that can affect
