Mentors
We, as mentors, do not solely give free tuition, neither do we solely counsel the students. The difference between tutoring and mentoring is that while tutoring emphasizes greatly on helping the student in getting better academic results, mentoring emphasizes character development above all else. Our job as mentors is to grow and progress along with our mentees, be their big brother or sister, someone other than their family or teachers.
MENTEES SCHOOL
Now, in SP BP Mentoring Club, we have 1 primary school for our mentoring sessions.
