What makes academic advising and personal tutoring truly effective? In this guest-hosted episode, Dave Lochtie is joined by co-authors Andrew Stork, Ben Walker, and Alison Raby to unpack the second edition of Effective Personal Tutoring and Academic Advising in Higher Education. Together, they explore what has changed since the first edition, why relationships matter more than ever, and how advising can move from a vague check-in to a meaningful, high-impact part of the student experience.

From coaching conversations and inclusive tutoring to managing expectations, measuring impact, and supporting students in an increasingly AI-shaped world, this episode is packed with practical ideas for higher education professionals. Whether you are building a campus-wide advising model or simply looking to make your student interactions more purposeful, this conversation offers fresh insight, global perspective, and plenty of food for thought.
