About The +Mentor
The what...
The Positive Mentor is a Positive Education and Wellbeing mentoring program for students, parents, teachers, educators and adults connected to learning. It is designed to help people better understand themselves, strengthen their wellbeing and create clearer direction in their study, work and life. Using the Telescope Lens Model, we explore three important perspectives: The Self — who you are, what you value, and how you operate The Community — how you relate, contribute and connect with others The World — where you want to go and what impact you want to make Through this process, the Positive Mentor and mentee work together to identify strengths, behaviours, goals and practical next steps. This program is for anyone wanting to build greater self-awareness, purpose, wellbeing and direction — whether you are learning, teaching, parenting, leading or navigating a new stage of life.
The who...
The Positive Mentor was created by Kane to support people (teachers, parents, students and adults connected to learning ages 12+) in education to better understand who they are, where they are going and how they want to show up in the world. Kane is a qualified international teacher who has worked across a variety of school environments, supporting students with different needs, goals and challenges. His approach is grounded in Positive Education, wellbeing and personal development, helping people identify the values, strengths and behaviours that support meaningful growth. Kane also works as an Australian television and film actor, appearing in series such as Neighbours, Upper Middle Bogan, It’s a Date and Other People’s Problems. This combination of education, performance and wellbeing gives Kane a unique ability to connect with people, communicate clearly and create reflective, engaging mentoring experiences. Kane is passionate about empowering students, parents, teachers, educators and adults connected to learning to take the reins of their lives. His work supports people to build self-awareness, strengthen wellbeing, take positive action and move toward their best self.
The why...
The Positive Mentor supports students, parents, teachers and adults in education to move beyond perceived limitations and develop the clarity, confidence and wellbeing needed to thrive. With rising levels of stress, anxiety, disengagement and learning challenges, many people connected to education are looking for more than generic advice. They need clear communication, practical tools and personalised support that recognises the whole person. Kane created The Positive Mentor to help individuals and their support networks gain clarity, build autonomy and create meaningful direction. Through Positive Education, wellbeing mentoring and reflective practice, mentees explore their values, strengths, behaviours and goals. This process helps them better understand themselves, communicate their needs, and take positive action in their academic, personal or professional life. The program is designed to support anyone navigating education — whether they are learning, teaching, parenting, leading or trying to reconnect with their own sense of purpose and direction.
The where...
The when...
The Positive Mentor is available online, in person, through workshops and as school-based professional development. Programs are designed to support students, parents, teachers, educators and adults connected to education across a range of learning environments — including mainstream schooling, homeschooling, online learning, tertiary study, travelling students and alternative pathways. Whether delivered one-on-one, in groups, online or within schools, each program is built to provide practical, personalised and accessible support for learning, wellbeing and growth. My pick would be the second one for your website. It’s cleaner and less wordy.

Kane Felsinger
I discovered my love of education again when I started to apply my research and training of Positive Education and Wellbeing with students who were anxious, stressed, disengaged and lost with their educational journey. Tailoring Positive Education and Positive Mental Health strategies to their needs, each student was able to feel empowered again by resetting, reconnecting and refocusing on what mattered to them. But that was only the start of the journey.
Now I worked with anyone on the educational journey. My work engages teachers, parents, guardians, mentors and of course I still enjoy working with students from Year 6 through to students of life.
It is my mission to facilitate anamnesis for others to identify the Self; so the individual(s) may determine how they are projected in the world. By doing this we create individual harmony, which in turn creates a more harmonious world.
Before we fill our brains of how the world works, we need to understand the Self. How can you know where you want to be in the world, if you're unsure of who you are, how you work and what you want? Come have a chat to see how these small understandings can help manage stress, anxiety, and other mental health concerns.
