Academic Personal Tutoring (APT) Systems: Staff Essentials

Academic Personal Tutoring (APT) is at the heart of the University's commitment to helping students make the most of their time at Leeds - helping them to maximise their success and ensuring they feel they belong as members of the vibrant academic community here at Leeds.

APT at Leeds draws on digital systems to support you in your role as an Academic Personal Tutor (PebblePad and Microsoft Bookings with Me).

On this page, you'll find links to step-by-step guidance (including videos) to explore at your own pace when using these APT systems.
