Become a New to Curtin mentor

Becoming a New to Curtin mentor gives you the opportunity to help new students, as well as develop valuable skills for your studies and future work.

As a mentor, you’ll be providing one-on-one support to new students who opt in to the Mentor program throughout the study period.

By sharing your experience and answering questions, you’ll be helping our
students navigate their first study period at Curtin!

I believe that my experience as a mentor improved my self-esteem. Through mentoring, I learnt that I can communicate really well when I genuinely want to help people. I also think becoming friends with the other mentors improved my confidence. I thoroughly enjoyed the warm, supportive, and fun culture created by the mentors.

When interacting with students at the Mentor Hub during extended Orientation, the information that I provide students must be short and concise so that it can be easily understood and remembered. I believe this has allowed me to develop effective communication skills by providing information in a concise manner.

– Joey Chan, Bachelor of Education (Primary)
