English term or phrase: Befriend
Hi all,
I could use some help about how to translate the term "befriend" in Arabic, in an Educational context:

"We will interview you for about XX minutes and ask you some questions about the classes and the befriending"
"We want to find out if your classes, and working with a befriender, are useful for your life in the XXX"

I thought of بدين or ناصر, but I am not sure if these terms are the most accurate.
Many thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Fady :-)
