AB  - Learners differ from one another, therefore teaching approaches should differ according to the individual learners. Mentoring is a powerful personal development and also an empowerment tool. When it is effective implemented, it is a way of helping people to progress in their careers and academic live and it will increase the potential that a person can reach. A partnership exist between two people (the mentor and mentee), due to the fact that we are empathizing Higher Education the partnership can be considered between the teacher/lecturer or facilitator and the student that works in the same or similar field. A good learner centre learning environment is an environment that will allow the students space and time to interact within the learning and the teaching process. The question that arises is why do we have to create a positive learning environment? The simple answer is the students will feel comfortable, safe and engaged. In classrooms where values and roles remain constant and the focus is placed on the positive aspects of learning, the students will be more open to actively participate in the class. An e-learning facilitator has the role as instructor and is consistent with seminal adult learning research in, which and instructors guide is self-directed in the learning problem-centred environment. Finally, when interrogating online learning and face-to-face learning, the authors noted that when online learning is enforced in learner centred learning environments, that in the beginning the help of the teacher/instructor or facilitator is required. However the more knowledge the student gets (tacit or explicit) the more self-confidence the student will acquire and therefore will be learning much wider as anticipated.
