Traditional (aka, when you were there) post-secondary education is rapidly changing to become more digitally driven from both a learning perspective and in preparation for the \u201creal world\u201d. Parents struggle to coach their child’s tech-orientated brain on how to effectively manage a digitally-driven education model as compared to their own, more traditional experiences. The delivery of quality education is rapidly changing and we want your child to be prepared with the right tools so they may thrive in an age of information overload.<\/p>\n

Working with a Kaizen Peer Mentor allows your learner to connect with someone close to their age who can offer advice for THEIR life path. They won\u2019t be told what to do, their discussions are confidential, and they won\u2019t be judged. They will be encouraged, guided, and given honest, first-hand advice about what works and what doesn\u2019t. No questions or conversation topics are off the table. They will also be reassured that with the right mindset and tools, they can absolutely succeed on their next adventure.<\/p>\n

Below is a list of answers to our most commonly asked questions. If you can\u2019t find the answer to your question, please contact us<\/a> and we\u2019ll get right back to you.<\/p>\n

Our Rockstar Peer Mentors are current upper-year or very recently graduated post-secondary students who have a great set of listening ears and relevant experiences to share. In fact, until we offered to pay them, they volunteered their time to informally help many of our Kaizen clients. They are approachable, mature, witty, and just \u201cget it\u201d.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Is Peer Mentoring the same as Executive Function Coaching?” admin_label=”Is this LPA the same as a psychoeducational assessment?” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” body_link_font=”||||on||||” body_link_text_color=”#F2673B” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

No. Our Peer Mentorship Program is specially designed for grade 9-12 students about to transition into post-secondary education, or are at least considering continuing their education after high school. There isn’t a focus on Executive Function Coaching, but instead, this is an opportunity to ask questions and receive guidance on what post-secondary life is like, including the transition into it. However, you will find that executive skills like planning, prioritization, time management, self-advocacy, and stress tolerance will come into play in mentoring sessions.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What kind of topics are covered in a Peer Mentoring session?” admin_label=”Why is this LPA the most efficient option for cognitive screening?” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” body_link_font=”||||on||||” body_link_text_color=”#F2673B” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Anything and everything. There is no set structure for this program; each and every session is uniquely tailored to your teenager and what they need. From what it\u2019s like to live in a dorm, to how to approach professors when they\u2019re in a class size of 500, and everything before, after, and in between. No questions are off-limits during a Peer Mentoring session.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Do I have to be a Kaizen Student to participate in the Peer Mentorship Program?” admin_label=”Will this LPA indicate if my child is gifted?” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” body_link_font=”||||on||||” body_link_text_color=”#F2673B” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Absolutely not. We welcome all students thinking about post-secondary.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”How long are Peer Mentorship sessions?” admin_label=”Will this LPA indicate if my child has a learning disability?” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” body_link_font=”||||on||||” body_link_text_color=”#F2673B” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Peer Mentorship sessions are usually 45-60 minutes but can be adjusted depending on your needs and availability.<\/p>\n

No, but we recommend at least 3 sessions. This allows your teen to establish a relationship and get comfortable with their Peer Mentor while making sure all of their questions are answered. It\u2019s amazing what they might think of once the conversation gets rolling and they have time to digest the information shared in a session.<\/p>\n

Online via Zoom or Google Meet. After all, this is the reality of post-secondary and work environments these days and allows your teen to connect from the comfort of their own environment.<\/p>\n
