PF mentor is basically what the official title of a moderator. There called mentors instead because there usually supposed to know a lot about the forum that they are monitoring and be able to answer questions correctly.

Science advisor-Are members that answer a lot of questions.

Homework helper-Basically the same as science advisor but helps other members with homework problems.

Guru's-At the end of ever year there is a guru ad ward voting for certain topics. PF members vote on how gets the guru award for each topic.
