Get good by doing. Mentor not needed.
Keep up with the news, read notes if you have access to them, practice modeling, learn the boring stuff like FactSet, pay attention in classes if you are a student, join investing clubs, etc. I’m sure you can think of something…

No small part of the job is distilling a stock down to its 1 - 3 key drivers and forming a differentiated view on each. Debating / exchanging with investors is one of the more comprehensive ways to do so, and the best way to have a window into those exchanges is through a mentor.
Key drivers, differentiated view, debating ideas. As a student, this is what investing clubs are for and these skills come with practice. Most people don’t have the luxury of a direct mentor guiding them every step of the way and somehow they figured it out.
