This is not a paid job. This is an investment. Here are qualities that doing a mentor job can have:
- Get coaching experience
- Increase your own chess skill (teaching inevitably also teaches yourself)
- Create friendships with other members (R2GM members are known for their positive ways)
- You are doing good for someone who needs it which makes one feel better about oneself
- You are bettering the chess community in the world
WHOA! I wanna be a mentor now. I bet they get more out of it than the mentee
R2GM was once famous for it's "Mentor-Mentee" program. However, during 2021 it was halted due to administration not having the ability to run it properly. But that is all over!
Welcome back Mentors and Mentees!
Mentor-Mentee program 2.0
Seasons are two month in length, beginning with a fifteen day signup and then the rest of the month and a half is the training portion.
The ultimate goal of the MM program is to raise members' rating by giving them a willing mentor that is typically 4-500 rating higher. These two will spend a month and a half together trying to raise specifically the mentee's rating. This feature to the chess.com world will hopefully be a valuable treasure.
Join Road to GM to get in! We're looking for more willing mentors that will gladly spend 1.5 months with a lower rated player to help them. This will also help you
Thanks!
