A growing number of studies has been conducted on mentorship programs so far for their implications in educational institutions related to teacher training programs. Additionally, an increasing number of countries has invested much money and time on mentorship programs. Mentors can be regarded as the model for newly teacher candidates. In this study, the suggestions of 15 mentors who have worked overseas for long years were investigated through the interview by employing grounded theory method. This qualitative study lasted 5 weeks and the data were collected virtually. The results revealed insightful points for teacher candidates. The mentors expressed their genuine opinions under 15 headings to assist newly graduated teachers on the way of being a professional and experienced teacher. Analyzed data can have some implications for future studies on a global scale.
