Customised Curriculum Design and ​Home-Education Support: Empowering ​the Next Generation to Flourish.

“Education is compulsory, schooling is not.”

Welcome to crossroads

At Crossroads Educational Consultants, we ​specialise in transforming lives through ​education. We primarily work with home-​educated students and those who struggle ​with Emotional Based School Avoidance ​(EBSA). Additionally, we provide private ​tuition, parent workshops and alternative ​routes for adults who may not have gained ​the relevant GCSEs to advance in their ​educational pathways.

Our mission is to offer comprehensive ​educational programmes that empower ​individuals to acquire new skills, enhance ​their knowledge, and prepare for future ​success.

Meet the team

We are a husband and wife team with a combined ​teaching experience spanning over 35 years. We have ​worked in various secondary schools across South Wales, ​specialising in Science and Mathematics. Our journey has ​seen us assume diverse roles, including academic and ​pastoral management, where we have had the privilege to ​guide numerous students and their families toward ​success.

In the words of C.S. Lewis, 'The task of the modern ​educator is not to cut down jungles but to irrigate deserts.' ​This sentiment resonates deeply with our mission. The ​concept of Crossroads sprouted from conversations with ​family and friends about home education and the ​regulations surrounding it. Fuelled by a passion for tailored ​education, we embarked on a path to support individuals ​in need of a bespoke educational pathway that caters to ​their unique requirements. Our goal is to irrigate the ​deserts, providing the necessary nourishment and ​guidance to transform educational landscapes and ensure ​every student thrives.

Home Education Support

At Crossroads, we specialise in supporting ​families who choose home education.

Our personalised educational plans ensure that ​every student excels, including those with ​Additional Learning Needs (ALN). Our ​experienced team, including an Additional ​Learning Needs Coordinator (ALNCO), provides ​tailored guidance and support. We also facilitate ​the GCSE exam entry process, helping to reduce ​costs and streamline the experience.

Our approach fosters independence and a ​passion for learning. We offer weekly resources ​available via an online platform and provide ​regular check-ins, either virtually or in person, to ​monitor progress and address any concerns.

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)

"After missing three months of school due to surgery and the ​pandemic, Tom faced significant gaps in his education. Gavin ​dedicated weekly sessions to work with Tom, even offering ​additional sessions before his exams. This extra support ​boosted Tom's confidence, leading to his success in smashing ​his GCSEs. I wholeheartedly recommend Gavin to anyone ​seeking assistance for their child." - Leah ( Tom's mum)

What can we say about Mr Gibson. He has been a great ​Physics tutor to our children. Physics and Maths are difficult ​subjects for most children. Mr Gibson, not only removed the ​fear of difficult subjects, has but guided them through the ​rough waters by being the leading light. My children love his ​methodical and kind approach that bring out the best in ​them. Our eldest daughter has just had an offer to study ​Medicine at Corpus Christi, Cambridge. We recommend him to ​anyone for home education or extra support for children who ​want to shine in their exams. - Sharon and Dr Rao

Hi Gavin. Just wanted to let you know Dylan got ​A* in both Physics and Chemistry. 8A* and 3A ​plus Additional Maths. Phew! Thank you so ​much for all your help! I’m ecstatic. - Ceri ​(Dylan’s mum)

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!!! - Nicola (Olivia’s mum)

Thank you very much for all your help … ​Emily loves her sessions with you and she ​always comes out with a big smile! We ​really would love to continue tutoring with ​you in the new school year please as Emily ​is taking physics for A level. We will ​definitely let you know her results. Thanks so ​much again, - Lisa (Emily’s mum)
