Correct pronunciation of the word "MENTORING"

[Tom]

Hi

Am I right when I rhyme the last part of the word mentor with the word core and mentoring with soaring? If I rhyme mentor with center and mentoring with centering, would it be considered correct?

Both are acceptable. Those familiar with the classics would more likely stress the second syllable of mentor; this means that most people would probably stress the first syllable.
