Mentoring and Teacher Training: Mentorship is a personal developmental relationship in which a more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps to guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable person. It is a process for the informal transmission of knowledge, social capital, and the psychosocial support perceived by the recipient, student or mentee, as relevant to work, career, or professional development. E-mentoring is a means of providing a guided mentoring relationship using online software, email, social networks and other web-based solutions.
