‘Complete and Perfect’ Mentoring Package

‘Goodbye from Gillian’  

 ‘After setting up Absolute Mentoring in 2018, I am now stepping down but leaving Absolute Mentoring in the capable hands of my colleague, Dr Lorraine McKechnie, a former RAP Marker of 20 years, who has built up an excellent reputation with the many students she has been mentoring since 2019 – hand in hand with a very high first time pass rate.   

Lorraine will also be introducing some new Mentors – colleagues who have also had experience of working on the Oxford Brookes RAP and so Absolute Mentoring will continue to offer the highest standards of mentoring.’

Why absolute mentoring?

“What I don’t know about the Oxford Brookes BSc Applied Accounting Research & Analysis Project could be written on the back of a postage stamp (and a small postage stamp at that!)”

Carine Kananira Uwse – BSc Applied Accounting, Period 46, Topic 8

I passed my OBU RAP on my first attempt in Period 46.

Lorraine McKechnie from Absolute Mentoring, my Mentor throughout the research project, was instrumental in guiding me from a vague topic choice to a successfully completed project. She provided invaluable guidance on selecting a suitable industry and company, ensuring a strong start,

Lorraine’s professionalism and commitment were exceptional, going beyond the minimum requirements to offer thorough support. Our meetings were unhurried, with detailed reviews and constructive feedback on my drafts.

Her expertise and insight were crucial for project success, and I firmly believe, I would not have passed without her mentorship.

I wholeheartedly recommend her as a mentor for the OBU research project.

Tamrin Kabir – BSc Applied Accounting, Period 46, Topic 5

I was able to pass my RAP on topic 5 in the very first attempt and the credit goes to Ms. Lorraine. At the beginning I was quite unsure about the project. But from our very first meeting she guided me on the process and encouraged me to take an extra step because of which I had the confidence that I would pass.

Her clear and constructive feedback made me realize my mistakes and challenged me to dig deeper into my research analysis and methods. Even on times when I was unable to attend a meeting, she was very understanding and flexible. She continuously emphasised on referencing since it was something I was new to. I do believe selecting a good mentor is vital for passing and I'm happy I got it right. Being a former marker herself, she knows exactly what the markers are looking for.

It was a wonderful experience to be her mentee and I couldn't have asked for a better mentor. Thank you once again Ms. Lorraine for your advice and motivation.

“Having Lorraine as my mentor for this research project was crucial in helping me pass my RAP at my first attempt. From the very first interaction, Lorraine was always prompt in her replies and helped me stay focused on the expected deliverables. She helped me think outside the box, was very attentive to detail and helped me break down the research project into smaller deliverables. This was very encouraging and made the expected milestones look easier to attain; especially for someone who is juggling work, study, and other commitments. She was always an email away and always very approachable. I am grateful for this and will gladly recommend her to potential mentees.”

“I am extremely grateful for the support and guidance I received from Ms. Lorraine at Absolute Mentoring throughout my RAP. Her mentorship was invaluable in shaping and refining my work. She was always available, attentive, and genuinely interested in my project. Through her experience as a marker, I learned exactly what needed to be demonstrated in my RAP, what required further review, and which aspects needed in-depth discussion. Her approach played a crucial role in my successful completion of the project, allowing me to pass with a B grade on my first attempt.

I highly recommend her as a mentor for anyone in need.”
