Abstract. The Qur'an Reading and Writing Mentoring Program (BTAQ) at Bandung Islamic University is an Islamic development program designed to improve first-year students' ability to read and write the Qur'an. The success of this program is influenced by interpersonal communication between mentors and mentees. This study aims to analyze the mentors' interpersonal communication process, mentees' responses, the actions taken to overcome communication barriers, and the underlying causes of those barriers in the 2025 BTAQ Mentoring Program at Bandung Islamic University. This study employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), observations, and documentation involving 13 participants, consisting of mentors, mentees, the Head of the BOM-PAI Tutorial Department, and the Head of Student Affairs at Bandung Islamic University. Data were analyzed through the stages of data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The validity of the data was ensured through source and method triangulation. The findings indicate that mentors implemented interpersonal communication adaptively by considering mentees' characteristics, class levels, and group dynamics. Communication barriers were influenced by mentee-related, mentor-related, organizational, technical, and situational factors. The study concludes that the quality of interpersonal relationships established at the beginning of the mentoring process is a crucial factor in supporting the effectiveness of the 2025 BTAQ Mentoring Program at Bandung Islamic University.
