Welcome to the NUS-BP Mentoring

Welcome to the NUS-BP Mentoring Official Site. BP Mentoring , started in Singapore in 1995, is a nation-wide community service project sponsored by BP (British Petroleum). Under this programme, mentors—from NUS, NTU, and SMU as well as various Polytechnics and Junior Colleges—are matched with young, disadvantaged children (the mentees) to help them raise their personal development and academic standards.


Study Skills courses

At NUS, the Mentors guide students in their studies and in their character developments. These students(Mentees) come from the various schools in Singapore and they will spend two hours weekly with the mentors. BP also help to conduct study skills courses for the Mentees once every year. Mentees not only benefits from having improved examination results but also making new friends with NUS Mentors.

Mentors also go through various courses and workshop organised by BP. These skills are beneficals in guiding the mentees and future job prospects. There are also skills being picked up by the mentors along this journey as NUS BP Mentors. These skills includes leadership skills, planning and hosting events, organising workshops and conduct meetings for mentors.
