Mentors help ease the burden on teachers

Teachers are not only those who stand in front of classrooms every day. This year, more than 200 mentors — experts in various fields — have been hired to provide extra help for students at Qibao High School.

The mentors step in when head teachers have their hands full with classes of about 40 students. Each mentor may help up to 15 students with their studies and aspirations.

“I have a student who wants to someday attend Shanghai Jiao Tong University, my alma mater, so I have been helping her understand how graduates carry out research,” said mentor Zhang Yaoxin, who said he believes his assistance has resulted in the student becoming more motivated.

Liu Yifan, a student in Qibao, said he remembers a hiking excursion to Sheshan Hill in Songjiang District with Zhang and other classmates.

“We had lunch together and talked about our futures on top of the hill,” he said. “Zhang is a good mentor and a good friend.”
