There are many advantages to telementoring with the first being that many more students can be reached when telementoring than when having to do “face-to-face” mentoring. We are very fortunate in the DC area to have many resources with people who can come into the schools, however, there are many places that do not have the availability and this allows everyone to have the same opportunities (Siegle et al, 2007, pg. 529). Another advantage to telementoring is more people can participate because there is more flexibility to timing. For example, if you are telementoring via e-mail it can be done anytime during the day at your own leisure. However, if you are doing face-to-face you need to find a time (which is difficult with work/school schedules)
