    • Ask question to help reach a conclusion
    • Support decision
  • Mentor doesn’t have to do:
    • Don’t have to go through tutorials with mentee
    • Don’t have to stick to the original plan
  • Mentor shouldn’t do
    • Don’t work on mentee projects for them
    • Don’t spam a mentee with a lot of materials
    • Don’t tell a mentee everything at once
