Active listening and peer mentoring

Active Listening:
I practice active listening by giving my full attention to the speaker, maintaining eye contact, and responding without interrupting. I focus on understanding both the verbal message and emotional cues, and I often paraphrase or ask gentle clarifying questions to ensure I’ve understood correctly. This helps build trust and makes people feel heard and respected.


Peer Mentoring:
As a peer mentor, I support classmates by listening to their academic or personal concerns, helping them reflect on their options, and encouraging problem-solving rather than giving direct advice. I maintain confidentiality, show empathy, and guide them toward appropriate resources when needed. This experience has strengthened my communication skills, empathy, and sense of responsibility.
