To be a mentor to someone

or to be a mentorfor someone

And , what preposition do you use to include the type of work' I mentor him on/ in selling products

Answer

You can 'mentor someone'. 'Mentor' is a verb here.

You can also 'be a mentor to someone' or 'be someone's mentor.' 'Mentor' is a noun here.

I mentor him on how to sell products.

Answer

You can be a mentor to someone or be a mentor for someone. Both are correct and mean exactly the same thing. You can mentor him on selling products or you can mentor him about selling products, again both mean exactly the same thing.
