Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Choosing Crossroads Educational Consultants to support your child’s home education is a great step towards a brighter future. With our expertise, personalised approach, and commitment to success, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Home education is when parents choose to take responsibility for their child’s education instead of sending them to school. Learning can happen in many ways and doesn’t have to look like school at home. Every family’s home education journey is different. 
We support home educating families across Wales and beyond with:
 • Personalised learning support 
 • Subject tutoring 
 • Exam and qualification guidance
 • A private exam centre for home-educated learners 
 
Everything we do is led by compassion, flexibility, and respect for each child. 
Yes. Many families come to us at the very start of their home education journey. We can help you understand your options, plan next steps, and feel more confident about moving forward. 
 
Yes. Home educated children can sit GCSEs and other qualifications privately. Crossroads is the first private exam centre in Wales, created specifically to support home-educated learners in a calm and understanding environment. 
 
 
A private exam centre allows learners who aren’t in school to sit exams. Our exam centre is designed with home-educated learners in mind, offering clear communication, supportive staff, and an environment that reduces stress on exam day. 
 
 
Tutors are not required for home education, but many families choose to use them for specific subjects, exam preparation, or confidence building. Our growing team of tutors understands home education and adapts learning to suit each child’s pace and needs. 
 
 
Yes. Many of the families we support have children with additional needs, anxiety, or who have struggled in traditional school settings. Compassion and understanding are at the heart of our approach, and we work alongside families to find what works best for their child. 
 
 
While we are based in Wales, we support home educating families across Wales and beyond. Much of our support can be offered remotely, and our exam centre is available to families willing to travel.
 
You can get started by getting in touch with us through our website. We’ll talk through your situation, answer your questions, and help you decide what support — if any — feels right for your family. 
 
Yes. Home education is not one-size-fits-all, and neither is our support. We offer flexible options designed around your child, your family, and your circumstances. 
 
 Still Have Questions? 
 
If you’re unsure about anything or would like to talk things through, please contact us. We’re always happy to listen and help where we can.

Stories from our community Real people, real stories

Testimonials

Our 14-year-old daughter, who has ADHD, cognitive underdevelopment, and dyslexia, has struggled with school anxiety and curriculum access since Year 2. Despite having a school IDP since Year 3, her anxiety led her to refuse school in February 2024 (Year 9) due to EBSA, compounded by the pressure of choosing her GCSE options. ...

Katie thrives with 1:1 tuition and a distraction-free environment. As our LEA couldn't provide suitable EOTAS, we chose to home educate her with Crossroads Education Consulting's support. Kate and Gavin built a rapport with Katie, identified her learning barriers and preferences, and designed a bespoke curriculum.

In just over a month, Kate and Gavin have significantly boosted Katie's confidence and enjoyment of learning. She is now more independent and enthusiastic, starting her day with learning without prompting. We're thrilled with her progress and newfound love for learning.

Claire (Katie’s mum)

Kate and Gavin at Crossroads Educational Consultants are truly amazing and a wonderful find. We had to deregister our neurodivergent children (8 and 11) from school last year due to lack of support. Since then we have tried to find a tutor for our youngest so we got a basic primary education, but the tutors only saw her once a week and didn't achieve much and unfortunately messed us around. ...

Then I found Crossroads. We met Kate and she explained how they do 1 session a week with the children but also work online and give loads of resources to the children to work through. She met my daughter who loved her and loved her first lesson so much she convinced her brother to have a tutor too and so we met Gavin. Kate and Gavin tailor the lessons to the children's needs and interests. They don't put any pressure on the children and both love their lessons! My son has a PDA profile and is really difficult to engage in learning but somehow Gavin manages it with ease! Kate and Gavin are really friendly and always contactable which makes our lives easier. 100 stars!!!

Caroline ( Rhys and Isabelle’s mum)

Kate and Gavin have been fantastic so supportive and tailor the work specifically to my son’s needs. I would recommend them to anyone. So grateful this survive exists, its been a life line

Hi Gavin hope your enjoying the summer? Olivia had an A in her Physics she's thrilled. She had 3 A*s, 2 As and 2 Bs in Chemistry and Biology. Thank you so much for getting her there and looking forward to her working with you again this year!!!
