PLEASE NOTE: As of August 2023, the online mentoring program is not yet available for 2023-24 as we await a new MOU.

MiraCosta faculty helpers are standing by to help you with preparing and teaching your online classes! Trouble with getting your syllabus to look right? Students won't participate in the discussion board? Can't get things organized? Still making Canvas or Zoom your friend? Looking for some fresh inspiration?

Contact one of the helpers listed below today – or anytime - for a quick question by email or to schedule a Zoom meeting. They are compensated by the college. You can claim Flex for your time working with them. No strings attached! Free to work with them as much or as little as you need! No forms to fill out – just select one from the list below and contact them directly.

(Note: specialty areas are not exclusive -- all of our mentors can help with Canvas, course design, syllabus, discussion, and online teaching basics!)

If a "Meet with..." link on the right is not available, please email the faculty helper directly using the email provided in the second column.
