What is Mentmii?
Mentmii is a mentorship marketplace that connects grade schoolers with high school students for in-person coaching and mentorship in sports, STEM, arts, and music. Our goal is to foster local connections and build a strong community through cross-age mentorship.
How does Mentmii work?
Parents can use Mentmii to directly book sessions with high school mentors. Whether your child wants to play catch with someone from the high school football team, learn the clarinet from the first chair in the orchestra, or build robots with a member of the Robotics Club, Mentmii makes it easy to find and schedule the right mentor.
Who are the mentors?
Our mentors are high school students who are passionate about sharing their skills and knowledge with younger students. They are carefully vetted to ensure they are responsible, skilled, and capable of providing valuable mentorship.
How do I find a mentor for my child?
You can browse our list of mentors on the Mentmii website. Each mentor’s profile includes their skills, experience, and availability. Simply choose a mentor that fits your child’s needs and book a session directly through the site.
Is Mentmii safe?
Safety is our top priority. All mentors undergo a thorough vetting process, and we also provide guidelines and resources to ensure safe and productive mentorship sessions.
What types of activities can my child do with a mentor?
Mentmii offers a wide range of activities, including sports coaching, music lessons, STEM projects, and arts and crafts. Our goal is to match your child with a mentor who can help them explore their interests and develop new skills.
How much does it cost to book a session?
The cost of a session varies depending on the mentor and the type of activity. Each mentor sets their own rates, which are listed on their profile. You can choose a mentor that fits your budget and needs. To book sessions with mentors, parents can select a monthly, quarterly or annual subscription. Additional fees such as the mentor’s hourly rate, taxes and booking fees will also apply upon booking.
How much does Mentmii cost Mentors?
Mentmii is free to all mentors that use the platform. Mentmii does add a service fee to all bookings to cover the cost of credit card payments but this does not affect the hourly rate mentors charge.
Does Mentmii Employ its Mentors?
Mentmii does not employ its mentors, therefore, mentors should claim any income taken in from jobs found on Mentmii independently. While Mentmii does not give advice on tax obligations and issues, we do encourage your mentors to seek professional tax advice for personal income tax questions and assistance. Some IRS information about household employment tax can be found here, and tax information for self-employed individuals can be found here.
How do I book a session?
Booking a session is simple. Once you find a mentor you like, select their available time slots and book directly through the Mentmii platform. You’ll receive a confirmation email with all the details.
Can I book multiple sessions with the same mentor?
Yes, you can book multiple sessions with the same mentor. Consistent mentorship can be very beneficial for your child, and many parents find it helpful to schedule regular sessions.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule a session?
If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, you can do so through the Mentmii platform. Please note our cancellation policy, which is outlined in the terms and conditions when you book a session. TL/DR: You must cancel within 24 hours to receive a full refund from your mentor.
