Acted as counsellor to lively teen dorm (8)
I believe the answer is:
mentored
'acted as counsellor' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'lively teen dorm' is the wordplay.
'lively' is an anagram indicator (letters get livened up or moved around).
'teen'+'dorm'='teendorm'
'teendorm' is an anagram of 'MENTORED'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for mentored that I've seen is " Acted as teacher or counsellor".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
