About The +MEntoR
The what...
The Positive Mentor is a Positive Education and Wellbeing program designed for students Year 8+. This program aids the Mentee to explore 'Who you are', 'Where you want to go', and 'What you want to do'. The +Mentor and Mentee collaborate to explore our 'Telescope Lens Theory', where we investigate the perspectives of the self, the community and the world; to formulate and identify a sense of self and wellbeing.
The who...
We are those favourite teachers students connected with for more than just academic advice. ​Our +Mentors are qualified and experienced teachers with Positive Education and Wellbeing training, with at least 5+ years of experience teaching in classrooms around the world.
​
The why...
We help students evolve beyond their believed limitations to be the better person they want to be.
With an increase in student anxiety, disengagement, additional learning needs and academic assessments, and the decrease in effective student wellbeing programs and subjects, clear communication and clarity on student/parent/guardian requirements, we wanted to provide this program to give the student clarity and autonomy in their academic journey.
​
The where...
Our courses are wholly online and ideal for homeschoolers, online students, travelling students and those who are enrolled in mainstream schooling.​

Kane Felsinger
As a teacher of 10+ years, I came to the realisation that I was having less and less time to do what I loved most about teaching, which was building the skills for life. Consumed by constant exams, testing and assessments, I was feeling myself drifting further away from my values and finding less satisfaction in my teaching career. I was burnt-out, tired and tired of battling with "educational leaders" to teach better with the interest of the student, and make time to learn about who they are, rather then assessments, grades and reporting.
Soon after, leaving my place of employment, I discovered myself again when I started to apply my research and training of Positive Education and Wellbeing with parents from previous schools who wanted advice and guidance for their children. Thus, The Positive Mentor (TPM) was born and it has been an incredible journey to see every mentee grow, evolve and be challenged to find their own success. Nothing gives me more joy than seeing a mentee flourish.
TPM isn't about solving challenges, but rather facilitating and guiding the mentee through the experience of challenges to understand that this is a part of life, and therefore how we react to these challenges will determine what pathway we discover next and having the tools and strategies to continue on the pathway independently and confidently.
