At Dukes Tutoring, we understand that many families opt for home-schooling for a variety of reasons, including relocation, travel requirements, or pursuits in professional-level sports or drama.
Some families choose home-schooling due to illness, anxiety, bullying, or school phobia. Other reasons might be concerns about special needs or a child’s unique talents not being addressed in the traditional classroom.
We offer personalised home-schooling support to provide a highly effective, nurturing education experience that helps students reach their full potential.
What is Homeschool Tutoring?
Homeschool tutoring is a personalised form of education where a tutor works one-on-one with a student, either in person or online, to provide tailored academic support outside of the traditional classroom setting. It allows students to receive focused attention and customised lessons based on their specific learning style, pace, and educational needs.
Homeschool tutoring can be used as an alternative to traditional schooling or as supplementary support for students already enrolled in school. It is ideal for a variety of reasons, including when families prefer a more flexible schedule when students have unique learning needs (such as special educational needs or anxiety), or when children require additional help in certain subjects.
The tutoring sessions are designed to be highly individualised, offering students a chance to learn in a comfortable environment with a customised approach that suits their personality and academic goals. Homeschool tutors not only focus on academics but also on building essential skills like confidence, independence, and resilience.
The Benefits of Homeschool Tutoring
Homeschool tutoring offers a range of benefits that can greatly enhance your child’s educational experience. At Dukes Tutoring, we provide a personalised approach to meet the specific needs of each student. Here are some of the key benefits of choosing our homeschool tutoring service:
- Tailored Learning Experience
Every child has a unique learning style, and our tutors are committed to tailoring lessons to suit your child’s needs. Whether they thrive through hands-on activities, visual aids, or structured lessons, we customise the learning plan to ensure maximum engagement and success. - Flexible Schedule
Homeschooling offers flexibility in scheduling, allowing for a more relaxed pace of learning. You can work around your family’s schedule, including travel, special activities, or personal commitments, without the constraints of traditional school hours. - Focused Attention
With one-on-one tutoring, your child gets undivided attention from an experienced tutor. This personalised support enables them to progress at their own pace and ensures that concepts are fully understood before moving on. - Increased Confidence and Independence
Homeschooling can help children gain confidence in their abilities, as they have the opportunity to work in a more supportive and less pressured environment. Our tutors encourage self-discipline and independence, helping children become more confident learners. - Safe and Comfortable Learning Environment
For children who have faced challenges like anxiety, bullying, or school phobia, homeschool tutoring provides a safe and comfortable learning space where they can thrive without stress or fear.

WHAT DUKES TUTORING HOMESCHOOLING STUDENTS SAY
“I was home-schooled during year 11 online with the Dukes Tutoring tutors, and safe to say, I highly recommend usingDukes Tutoring for home-schooling. My tutors covered all the year 11 content as well as helping me with revision, in time for me to sit my GCSEs at the end of year 11, enabling me to get the grades I needed (and higher) to get into a sixth form college.
My tutors were truly fantastic. All of them were dedicated, warm, kind-hearted, supportive, motivational, and genuinely knowledgeable and skilled at their respective subjects as well as being skilled teachers. All of my tutors were brilliant at explaining hard and confusing material, and always went above and beyond to not just teach me the facts but explain why. A full timetable was created for me, and the tutors were accommodating to last minute changes, were always punctual and most importantly for me made me feel good and confident in my academic ability, reassuring me of my capabilities and praising me when praise was due.
Not only did my teachers effectively teach me the content, but a huge part of my lessons was designated to learning essay skills and practical exam technique, so that I felt ready for exams. Most importantly, my tutors and all the team at Dukes Tutoring really cared about me and my education, truly setting me up for future success and my A levels, for which I would like to say thank you.”

WHAT DUKES TUTORING HOMESCHOOLING PARENTS SAY
“I am the Mother of a home-schooled GCSE student. Dukes Tutoring supplied individual subject tutors of the highest calibre and experience and, critically, a service which they described as a “wrap around” service. I could not have managed without the wrap-around service. I was allocated a very experienced member of the Dukes Tutoring team, Leanne.
She was my point of contact throughout and provided me with continuous and direct one-on-one support for a range of matters, such as compiling a time-table that worked for my daughter and her tutors, weekly or as frequently as I needed touch-ins to see how things were going, discussing and implementing adjustments when required and pulling together lists of information (such as schemes of work, revision lists, textbooks, access to online curriculum).
The service was flexible and invaluable because it allowed me to talk to a highly professional support so as to create the best possible, bespoke tutoring for my child. No request was ever too much. And the support was not just on logistics. Leanne provided a warm and sensitive listening and ready ear. I cannot recommend Dukes Tutoring enough. My child excelled in her GCSE results. Thank you.”
