Where support benefits both mentors and mentees

Many universities have some form of in-course buddy-support system, with eager second-year students supporting a handful of incoming freshers. From my experience, this support can either not provide the right help or dwindle, even after only the first few weeks. This is understandable, particularly from students on a busy course like chemistry, with timetables filled with labs, lectures and tutorials.
