Summary/Abstract: Teacher mentoring appears to be an extremely important issue that deserves special attention. The authors of the article focused on collecting the opinions of young teachers on their relationship with the mentor (the internship supervisor and the difficulties they indicate in the aspect of mentoring). In order to do this, a group of teachers was examined in terms of the following indicators: assessment of the quality of the relationship with the mentor; its role in the process of professional advancement; identifying the qualities a mentor should have. The implementation of the assumed goal and the answer to the formulated questions is included in the process of argumentation, which consists of an introduction to the issue through the analysis of the professional promotion process of teachers, and then the analysis of own research. Their results are similar to the results of national research showing how important a role in the development of a young teacher is played by tutors – mentors. There is no doubt that their accompanying is an important element of the promotion procedure. They can be a source of inspiration and motivation for self-development. Mentors, supporting young teachers with their experience, make them acquire new competences and become more effective in their teaching.
