How To Be A Great UX Mentor?


The term ‘UX’ refers to ‘user experience,’ the experience a user gets while visiting a website. It is the duty of UX designer to build a smooth user experience. They have to make sure to add psychological concepts (like utilizing whitespace and heatmap knowledge) while designing, altering and executing. Through the journey, everyone needs a mentor to guide, to learn fast and to avoid reinventing the wheel.

Also, if you know how a UX beginner should start his career and also agreed to share your knowledge among them, but not sure how to do it, you have landed on a right page.

Also, if you knows inside-outs of a designer’s career and agreed to share your knowledge among them but unaware how to do so, we are here for you.

But remember that,

You don’t need to be an expert or a UX Designer on a senior role to share the lessons to your mentee, you can start today and teach If you want to.

So, let’s see what we have brought to you to become a good and better UX mentor.

Create Engaging Relations

Keep the communication smooth, this helps in building engaging and trustworthy relationship. It is a trait of an elementary school’s teacher who deals strictly with their students and shouldn’t use now.
Tell stories and find the easiest possible way to make teaching and learning fun.

But you must be wondering how engagement will help in mentoring. Well, answer this, how can you suppose to hit the consciousness of your mentee without building engagement with them.

Empathy Creates Win-Win Situation

The mentor has to be in the shoes of mentee so as to build relation between them. The building of relation makes the mentor aware of strong and weak points of a mentee. Being aware of positive and negative aspects, a mentor can bring their mentee on a long route with less efforts.

Build Habits

Setting clear goals towards the project enables the execution at best so it is always best to discuss expectations before beginning. Building such habits make the process easy and clears the project dealing.

When it comes to mobile app development or custom software development services, the discipline comes into the play. It is the duty of mentor to put the mentee in an environment where such habits can outgrow.

Share Your Experiences

The journey of being a UX designer needs to be aware with the experiences other than skills and a mentor on the same journey can share them well. Hence, if you have been in massive troubleshooting, let your mentees experience the same because experience lasts longer than lessons.

Praise them Often

An appreciated individual works better than an ordinary mentee. They want to be appreciated for their efforts and hard work. Hence, praise even if they have achieved minor milestones as the small moments deserves celebration too. If they do something wrong, direct them with a pat on the back but avoid criticism at all costs.

Final Thoughts

We have collected the best advices and put them here for the aspiring mentors. We feel that these are the psychological necessities, other than UX expertise, a mentor should have to become a great teacher.

If you know that we have skipped some points or forget to add them in our list, let us know in the comments section.
