I started Dr. Rob Croton Academic Coaching to provide individual, bespoke support. Inspiring others to grow is truly one of life’s greatest privileges.

Former students

History, EPQ and English Literature student

‘Within two years of Dr Robert Croton becoming my history teacher, I had changed my plans for higher education to be history-central. He inspired an adoration for the subject so great that it was impossible for me to resist taking Ancient History and History at university – something I have begun this year.

He taught me, officially, in the subject of history for five years (covering both my GCSE and A Level studies) in which I progressed through grades and watched my essay writing skills improve greatly, not only in the subject, but everywhere in my academic career. From Elizabethan England to 20th Century South Africa, from the Battle of Agincourt and the Hundred Years’ War to discussing the intricacies of the political situation that lead to Hitler gaining power in Germany, Dr Croton is informed and passionate about educating in every aspect of history. He is able to inform and encourage anyone from any level to wherever they wish to go. His teaching and advice resulted in my A Level coursework receiving a 100% mark by the end of my school journey.

On top of this, Dr Croton supported me in English Literature and attended my Extended Project Qualification [EPQ] presentation. His support for his students goes beyond the classroom and he has a vested interest in their journeys both academically (no matter the direction they wish to take) and emotionally. His wide range of knowledge can be found in any conversation as he is always there to offer advice and point someone in the right direction.

As someone who was under his guidance for so much of their education, I could not recommend him as a personal tutor or teacher enough.’

History and Geography student

‘Dr Croton is an incredibly knowledgeable person, I could ask any question and likely get a very detailed answer in a huge variety of subjects, from Geography to History or even Psychology and English. All I had to do was ask and support was given any time I needed help understanding a particularly difficult concept.’
