Who we are
Guide Runner is a Metro Vancouver-based education mentoring and tutoring group established in 2019. We are a diverse group of young professionals brought together by a passion to focus not only on academic excellence but also on our students’ passions and dreams through their educational journey. We provide a large range of educational services including one-on-one private in-person and online tutoring, career development and academic and non-academic advising and mentoring.
What we believe
We believe that education is so much more than just achieving academic excellence. True success in education not only prepares a student to establish their career but to find and pursue their passions. Therefore, our goal is to provide your child with the resources to discover their career passions, equip them with the tools they will need and to guide them toward success.
Our values are:
- Developing a well rounded student
- Achieving academic success
- Training non-academic qualities
- Discovering and enabling career potential
Who is a Guide Runner?
A guide runner is an individual who runs alongside someone who cannot see in order to lead them safely to their destination. Guide runners know the difficulties and challenges that lay ahead of the runner because they have already run the race before them. They provide warning when something dangerous is in the way but they also provide encouragement and companionship during the race. Guide runners do not run the race for the participant, instead, they take each step with their partner, helping them to succeed and building a friendship along the way.
