The kind of teacher/pupil coach/athlete relationship you are talking about is expressly not what Universities have historically aimed to provide. A University gives a student access to resources (including mentors), and time to study, it _does not_ provide someone to continuously watch over you in the way you describe.

In fact, you are only really tested to see if you have improved once in an entire bachelor degree -- at the end of it.
