In this episode, I talk with Zak Adams, a junior at Harvard University, about how mentorship can help high-potential, low-opportunity students pursue \u201cdream universities\u201d they might not otherwise consider. We discuss Project Access, an international, UK-registered charity that pairs students with mentors connected to their target universities. If you work with juniors right now, this conversation will help you see practical next steps you can take to support students who need a roadmap. In this episode, you\u2019ll learn how to: Recognize when a high-achieving student needs mentorship, not just encouragement Identify \u201chigh-potential, low-opportunity\u201d indicators that can signal a need for added support Refer students early and plan ahead for deadlines that often arrive around September Understand why mentor matching connected to a target university can provide \u201cnetwork advantage\u201d Encourage students by helping them build a plan when they don\u2019t know where to begin Show notes and resources: https:\/\/www.coolcatteacher.com\/e925 ","author_name":"10 Minute Teacher Podcast with Cool Cat Teacher","author_url":"https:\/\/www.coolcatteacher.com\/podcast","html":"
