What types of mentors are there?

There are three types of mentoring.

• Traditional One-on-one Mentoring. A mentee and mentor are matched, either through a program or on their own.
• Distance Mentoring. A mentoring relationship in which the two parties (or group) are in different locations.
• Group Mentoring. A single mentor is matched with a cohort of mentees.

Can I ask someone to be my mentor?

Do not ask someone to be your mentor in your introductory email or in your first meeting. Like all relationships, building trust and rapport takes time. You may need to meet a few times and get to know them, learn about their current career and goals before asking them to be your mentor.

How do you write your first email to a mentor?
