Get good by doing. Mentor not needed.

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.
