eStream Mentors

These BC certified teachers serve as specialized learning mentors to families and students who wish to engage in one or more of the CHeS eStreams. eStream mentors utilize electronic means to assist family-groups throughout the province. They are familiar with many educational options and resources and will provide you with the level of support that you need to reach the particular educational goals valued by your family.

Neighbourhood Mentors

Neighbourhood mentors are BC certified teachers who tend to work face-to-face with their own family group. Some neighbourhood mentors also work face-to-face with other families in their vicinity.
