He has also done a lot of self teaching including most web based programming and has build his own business website to back his knowledge.
I feel he could be a good mentor as he is smart and always willing to give me a hand , he also has extensive knowledge of parts of the course I am doing ,which happen to be the parts I feel I may struggle in. He would be there to offer me advice and able to guide me if I get stuck.
Saying that I would also unofficially like to have my mum be my proof reader, she has very good English skills and is very good at rewording sentences to get the best out of what I am writing. She is also not very competent with a computer which means that she can read my essays from a fresh point of view not knowing the subject, meaning the essay will have to be written using the correct language for her to understand the meaning of different concepts. If she learns something and understands what I have written about I would think the essay was well written and understandable for the novice user.
Your parents will be good mentors particularly if your Dad has already been to the uni and knows what is expected academically.
