The University of Pécs also joined the Let’s Teach for Hungary! mentor program. In the program university students mentor upper primary students from country schools of disadvantaged regions – encouraging them to continue their studies. The present study examines the impact of mentoring underprivileged students on university students by content analysis based on student reflection documents. Are there any benefits of the program that carry positive effects for students doing different majors, including future teachers? It analyzes students’ experiences from four aspects: comparing aims and experiences, interpreting mentoring and success, formulation of emerging dilemmas and questions, and changes in self-reflection on elements of emotional intelligence.
