Eda - UCL
BA in Media - University College London
Hi, I’m Eda, and I'm a Media Mentor. I study BA Media at University College London, and I am currently one of the elected Transition Mentors of my course. Besides Media Theory, I specialise in Media Practice (Immersive Media and Game Design). I have extensive experience in academic research and practice research in various subject areas (Media, Literature, Sociology, Psychology, and Environmental Systems). Additionally, I graduated high school with dual diplomas: the Turkish National High School Diploma and the International Baccalaureate Bilingual Diploma.
Throughout my IB years, I participated in a mentorship programme called the IB Sisterhood/ Brotherhood Project. As a mentor, I provided academic and mental support for the Pre-IB and IB Year 1 students based on my previous experiences. Furthermore, I was the president of the Guidance Committee at my school for three years, delivering presentations and organising several events for younger classes every year to guide them through their academic challenges.
I always take a student-centred approach to tutoring, and understanding the needs of the student is my priority. Hence, effective communication is what I value the most during my interactions with my mentees. Knowing that every student has unique ways of learning, my initial step into mentoring is getting to know my students and their specific expectations from me. In this case, I believe empathy and mutual understanding play a crucial role in forming a healthy mentor-mentee relationship.
Studying at a world-class university has encouraged me to go beyond my studies and share my passion for Media with prospective students who are in the same boat as I once was. As your future mentor, I look forward to working with you and helping you to get closer to your goals!
