Difference B/W Mentorship, Teaching, Counselling, Coaching
People often think erroneously that mentorship is no different from counselling. Reality is that both are as different as day and night. That's the reason why many education consultants who offer counselling services offer mentorship services separately.All these may be guidance-oriented roles, but there is a clear distinction between all of them. Each has its own approach, focus, and goal. The focus of mentoring is future-oriented development and career path guidance, while counselling deals simply with present-day academic issues and challenges. Teaching is merely a process of imparting concepts, knowledge, and skills. Coaching is a performance-oriented approach meant to help people hone specific skills or achieve set goals. In mentoring, experienced individuals (mentors) forge a supportive, guiding relationship with students (mentees) to foster personal and professional growth through knowledge sharing and guidance. The distinction between all these can be explained better through an example of a 12th standard student who has opted for the science stream. The teacher will pass on knowledge. For instance, electromagnetism concepts. If the same student joins some JEE/NEET coaching institute, then the coach will try to make the student succeed in the competitive exam through a study plan, mock tests, and practice papers. If the same student gets confused about a career path, then a counsellor will be needed, who can help in choosing the right career path. If the same student opts to pursue MBBS and avails the service of a mentor, then the mentor will help plan study approach and share experiences.

Importance of Mentors
Almost all great achievers in history had a mentor at some point during their rise to excellence. Mentors were always expected to guide and advise their mentees, helping them build a successful career. Usually, a mentor has one mentee at a time and can focus on shaping their trajectory. A mentor can help connect one with opportunities that one might not have otherwise had access to, despite being in touch with a good counsellor. Mentors do this by sharing their knowledge, helping mentees identify opportunities in their path, and opening doors for them when the time comes. Definition of mentoring by the International Coaching Federation - 'A mentor is an expert who provides wisdom and guidance based on his or her own experience. Mentoring may include advising, counselling, and coaching.'
