Hello everyone, I’m Mr. Long and welcome back to iMrLong’s English Studio. It’s Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day for September 3rd. Today’s word is mentor. Mentor is a noun that means a trusted counselor or guide. It can also mean a tutor or coach. Here’s the word used in a sentence:
Graduates of the program sometimes go on to become mentors to those making their way through the rigorous process of earning their certification.
(picture and sentence from Merriam-Webster)
Another example,
"If you can find a mentor who is experienced in your field, they can provide you with insights that you may not get anywhere else. Think of them as kind of being a walking, talking, unofficial guidebook. They know the unspoken truths." — Abdullahi Muhammed, Forbes.com, 30 June 2018.
