The current educational model for the Europea Higher Education Area (EHEA), demands a greater involvement on the behalf of students in all aspects of their education. In this respect, peer mentorship not only provides effective orientation for newly admitted students, a key element of quality in education, but also the active participation of students mentors, leading to the development of a wide range of skills in both mentor and mentee students. From a research-action perspective, this article describes a program of peer mentoring, in which the student interaction taking place leads to wide-ranging knowledge acquisition (knowledge and know how) for both participants. Within the sphere of mathematics, the program was developed with the aim of developing general skills, as well as the specific objective of improving competence in mathematics. In the results obtained, the profile and educational development of the student mentor, together with the study of the needs of first year students, from the perspective of teachers and students, were especially relevant. The conclusions and recommendations from this study may constitute a good basis upon which future peer mentorship programs may be developed as an approach that is very much in line with the EHEA and of great educational value.  La mentoria entre iguales en la Universidad Europea de Madrid: Una estrategia educativa para el desarrollo de competencias generales y especificas Resumen El modelo educativo actual, desarrollado dentro del Espacio Europeo de Educacion Superior (EEES), requiere de una mayor implicacion por parte de los estudiantes en todos los aspectos de su formacion. En este sentido, la tutoria entre iguales no solo proporciona una orientacion efectiva de los alumnos de reciente incorporacion en la universidad, elemento clave de calidad, sino una participacion activa del estudiante mentor, que resulta en el desarrollo de un amplio abanico de competencias por parte de ambos (estudiante mentorizado y mentor). Este trabajo describe, desde el ambito de la investigacion-accion, un programa de tutoria entre iguales en el que la interaccion que se produce en las sesiones de mentoria constituye un interesante medio de adquisicion del conocimiento en sentido amplio (saber y saber hacer) para ambos participantes. El programa se desarrolla en el seno de la asignatura de Matematicas, por lo que se busca la mejora de diversas competencias generales y, como elemento diferenciador,  un mayor desarrollo de la competencia matematica. En la presentacion de resultados resulta especialmente relevante la figura del alumno mentor, su perfil y avance formativo, asi como el estudio de las necesidades de los alumnos de primer curso a traves de la optica de los docentes y de los discentes. Las conclusiones y recomendaciones podrian constituir una buena base para el desarrollo de futuros programas de tutoria entre iguales, un ingrediente educativo de maxima coherencia con el EEES y de gran valor formativo.
