TUJ’s Peer-to-Peer Mentorship Program offers an opportunity for you to connect with experienced student mentors who can provide you with guidance and support as you navigate the challenges of student life. It’s a chance for you to seek assistance, share your experiences, and build meaningful connections in the TUJ community.
Topics Mentors Can Support
Peer Mentors can help you with different aspects of your student life. Among those, you can get help with:
- Academic Support Coaching
- Course and Major Planning
- Stress Management
- Educational Tech Help
- Acclimating to Japan
- Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
- Internships and Job Hunting
Who are the mentors?
Peer mentors are trained to assist you in various ways. They can help you cultivate study skills, adjust to life in Japan, find connections in your community, assist with internship and full-time employment advice, and deal with stress and scholastic anxiety. Moreover, because our mentors are fellow students who have dealt with the challenges you may be facing, they can offer you unique advice based on their own experiences.
