Teaching style can also be analyzed easily by watching several videos of OBU Mentors on social media. You can watch video to analyze the teaching style of Sir Abdul Basit on his YouTube channel.
- Institutional Affiliation and engagement with students:
Students also consider the institution affiliation of the mentor and the level of engagement with the students. Mentor connected with reputable institutes has access to valuable resources. Moreover, students should consider the review of the past students of that mentor.
