Begin the meeting by asking the student to work on a proof or problem at the board.
Ask questions that were not covered in the text. For example, if the mentee is proving a theorem, ask them why the theorem would fail if you eliminated an axiom.
Check in with your mentee regularly, especially if they start missing meetings. Let your committee know if you're having trouble keeping your mentee on track.
Take a look at the National Mentoring Resource Center's website to find more strategies for effective mentorship.
