Getting-to-Know-You Form
This is one of the very important first steps to prepare for your mentoring journey with your mentees. At the very first meet-up between your mentees and you, you can ask your supervisor/mentees' teacher to collect some necessary information from them by sending them a digital form. We call it a Getting-to-Know-You Form. It is the chance for you to know their likes, hates, preferences, hobbies, strengths and weaknesses so as to make a better proposal.
Make sure you do not try to collect their personal information. Here are some suggested questions for your Getting-to-Know-You Form
Which subjects do you like? (Choose as many as you want)
Which subjects are you afraid of or find challenging? (Choose as many as you want)
How would you like me to help you in the mentoring sessions? (Choose as many as you want)
Which of the following life skills would you like to learn? (Choose as many as you want)
Where would you like to have your learning journeys? (Choose as many as you want)
What types of activities interest you most? (Choose as many as you want)
Are you allergic to anything? (Choose all that apply)
Which dietary requirement do you follow? (Choose all that apply)
What motivates you to learn? (Choose as many as you want)

For your reference, this is the form that our team ask the mentees to fill in. This has already been fixed by the supervisor before sending out: https://forms.gle/wcfy4JDpyoZ1Kbn27
