Coaching and Mentoring Students in Higher Education provides student support and learning development professionals with a comprehensive, evidence-based guide for delivering coaching and mentoring interventions with students.

Focused on the context of higher education, it shares practitioner and research insights from a range of coaching and mentoring programmes and considers their transferability to the international higher education sector. It is a collection of practitioner research based on literature reviews, qualitative and quantitative evaluation of student feedback and scenario case studies. Each chapter offers practical tips and recommendations for colleagues in the sector looking to implement coaching and mentoring as a mode of support. Inviting readers to reflect upon their learning at key stages throughout the book, it addresses many key issues for higher education providers – including student engagement, retention and mental health and wellbeing.

This essential volume contributes to the growing body of scholarship looking at coaching and mentoring support at university and the impact on retention and student outcomes, and is key reading for senior leaders, strategic managers and student-facing staff alike.

‘The time for more coaching of students in HE has come. This book is a welcome response to challenges in Higher Education learning and teaching. It shifts the focus from what students learn to how they could do it. Coaching approaches transform teaching and learning into provision that is tailored to each student, their unique goals, backstories, and circumstances.’

Klaus-Dieter Rossade, Professor and Executive Dean, Faculty of Wellbeing, Education and Languages Studies, The Open University, UK.

'This timely book is an inspiring resource for higher education, offering practical tools, case studies, and thoughtful insights to foster a coaching culture that supports both staff and student development. It serves as a powerful advocate for person-centered methodologies and relationships, addressing critical topics like ethics, equality, and wellbeing with depth and care.' 

Jelena Matic, Senior Educational Developer and Creator of the Coaching in Higher Education Network. 

‘This volume gives great insight into the growing culture of coaching at The Open University (UK), where the mission is to be open to people, places, methods and ideas. It absolutely makes sense to take a person-centred approach to enable individuals to realise their own solutions in higher education.’

Paul Miles, Learning Lead for Leadership and Management, Organisational Learning, The Open University, UK.
