As a very recent mentor (yay!), I usually look for feedback on how I can improve my own teachings. I've only met with my apprentice a couple of times, but she's allowed me to think about how to explain things in a more clear and concise manner for other people to understand. She's also going to bring cookies next week (a super-sweet gesture on her part), and since she's a (elementary school) teacher, she's going to give feedback on slides I'm creating for an upcoming class I'm teaching.
Every time I teach my craft to somebody new to web development, I learn something new. It gets me excited about coding again, and it's why I love teaching so much. The students with the most questions are usually the most enthusiastic, so ask any and all questions that come to you. If your mentor doesn't know the answer, even better. I like students who make me think!
