PebblePad & Personal Tutoring

Effective personal tutoring can make a real difference to students’ academic success and wellbeing during their time at university.

If you’re looking for ways to help your personal tutors enhance student experiences – or are a personal tutor yourself – PebblePad and our award-winning Learning Journey Platform offer the technology and expertise you need to fully support, guide and develop learners – from induction to graduation, and beyond. 

Diverse features

As well as supporting learning, teaching and assessment activity, PebblePad has all the tools and functionality required to scaffold the personal tutoring process for both tutors and students. We help deliver transparent communications, create a space for learner reflection and provide a means of monitoring engagement to identify and support students at risk.

PebblePad also offers a common framework to ensure consistency of experience for all students while providing the flexibility you need for any customisation and personalisation. Our workbooks offer:

• Structure and scaffolding
• Meeting record templates and action plans
• Reflective prompts to guide learners in reflecting on progress/development.

Combined, these help to support students in planning for and keeping a record of personal tutor meetings as well as track any outcomes and further actions required.

Tutor focused

For tutors, having a live view of student content in a PebblePad workbook makes preparing for student meetings simple and quick. Our reporting functionality gives you an overview of how students are engaging with the materials and helps monitor student progress at a glance.

We can offer all this because PebblePad is a platform designed for educators by educators, one that helps learners develop and share their unique talents and attributes for life-wide and lifelong success.
