School of Technologies Student Coaches

“Being a student coach has been fulfilling—helping peers, earning a side income, and connecting with fellow students. It’s a great experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone passionate about helping others and looking for a flexible job during their studies.”

“Five months into my role as a student coach, I’ve had the opportunity to offer the same support that once helped me. In reflecting on my journey, I’ve realised how much the challenges I faced as a first-year student have shaped the way I approach coaching.”

“Being a student coach lets me help others while gaining valuable skills for my future career. The role is vital in CST, providing approachable support and relevant advice from shared experiences, making it easier for students to seek help when needed.”

“As a student coach, I provide academic, career, and emotional support, making a positive impact. One-on-one mentoring has been rewarding, helping me understand postgrad challenges. This role enriches the student experience by fostering a supportive and inclusive environment.”

“Becoming a student coach allowed me to gain experience in multiple roles, for example teaching and mentoring my fellow students. This has allowed me to develop skills and has helped me to figure out what sort of role I would like to go into in the future!”

“I became a student coach to support peers and enhance the university experience in the School of Technologies. This flexible role lets me assist with academic issues, signposting, and events like movie nights and women in tech evenings, offering tailored advice as someone who’s been in their position.”
