Mentor
Qualifications - A Mentor is one who has already become ranked in the level that he wishes to mentor.
Duties - A Mentor is to work under supervision of a qualified instructor. He/she may give assistance in running drills, demonstrating combat scenarios and helping students with difficulties accomplishing specific tasks. The mentor may also begin teaching low level tasks; such as, basics, combinations and combat scenarios of the level that he/she has ranked in.
Example:
John has just become ranked as an Enforcer Level. His instructor has assigned him to become a mentor to the students working on the Guardsman level. He will be allowed to guide the students in the warm-ups, auxiliary drills and assist in explaining the movements of the practice combat scenarios.
A Mentor is very important in the development of the good instructors. While the mentor explains how to do certain tasks, while under the guidance of a qualified instructor, he/she will get immediate feedback from his/her instructor if the information given is incorrect. This interchange of the mentor shadowing the instructor and the student shadowing the mentor develops strong interpersonal bonds, thus strengthening the overall structure of the school, and therefore, retention rate increases.
