How Mentors Help Students Use Feedback

Getting feedback is only helpful if you know how to apply it. Some students feel overwhelmed when they see a long list of notes.

OnNetwork mentors guide students step by step on how to turn feedback into real improvements.

Why Feedback Matters

Good feedback:

  • Helps catch mistakes you cannot see on your own

  • Shows where your story can be clearer

  • Makes each draft stronger than the last

The Role of a Mentor

Mentors help students by:

  • Explaining feedback in simple ways

  • Suggesting what changes matter most

  • Encouraging students to keep their voice while editing

Final Thoughts

Feedback is not criticism — it is a tool for growth. With a mentor’s guidance, you can use it to shape essays that shine.

Tip: Apply feedback in stages instead of all at once. Start with the biggest fixes first.
