Student A
“I have diagnoses of Autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Tourette syndrome, Bipolar Affective Disorder and multiple anxiety disorders…”
Student B
Student B has similar experiences to many of our young people. They had a challenging life as a small child, resulting in a multiplicity of understandable, although extreme, behaviours largely due to anxiety and mental health issues and deep insecurities.
Student C
Student C has ASC and was initially referred to us as they were displaying a series of challenging behaviours. They did not feel understood in their former education and found both the setting peers unsupportive. Typically, they were masking their ASC. When they first came to EK Outreach, they were lacking in self-esteem…
Student D
Student D came to EK Outreach Services in an extremely fragile mental state. Isolated from friendships and grieving the death of their father, their self-esteem was extremely low, with related anxiety. They were extremely concerned that they would never pass their GCSEs or ever attend college and become a nurse…
Student E
Student E has anxiety and dyslexia. Previous tuition services had been unable to engage with them. When the initial home visit was undertaken, they were so anxious that they hid in the corner of the room behind their mother and they were unable to leave the house due to being anxious…
Student F
Student F has diagnoses of microcephaly, developmental delay and severe learning difficulties. They attend a mainstream school which they have been in since year 7. Student F can become over-stimulated by large crowds and it can then become very difficult to communicate with them…
Reviews
Don't just take our word for it. Read some of the reviews from our students and parents below:
It has been great and [is going] so well. The teacher is here at the moment for his second session. I can't believe what we have achieved in a week of learning. She loves it. There have been no problems or issues. It has all gone so smoothly. Thank you so much for making it work in such a short space of time!
Parent
The tutors are lovely and they have all been great - they are helping [our child] so much.
Parent
Thank you very much for the timely update, dear Michael. You are a very amazing coordinator – A+! Wishing you a wonderful day ahead.
Parent
The tutors at EK Outreach have been fantastic and I would love them to stay on next year. You have all been so supportive with everything that’s been going on.
Parent
The teacher is brilliant, the boys have never had a teacher like her. The boys have learnt a lot, the mentor is also really good. The boys really like all of the staff, including the Coordinator.
Parent
So Happy! My child has just accepted their offer for college. What a journey; I am so so proud of him and now excited for his future. So grateful for you and and your team.
Parent
So so happy (and relieved!) he passed all 3 GCSES and will now go to the college he wants to. Thank you so much for everything you have done.
Parent
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your help and support over the last few months. My son has really flourished with homeschooling and really has bonded with all his tutors. Although home schooling was not planned, I feel his academic ability has really improved over the last few months with the teaching that has been done by the EK team.He will be sorry to say goodbye to everyone this week.
Parent
It looks like the reassurance of his home environment is a key part of him being comfortable enough to learn at EK Outreach. He has a rapport with his English teacher because they get him. He knows when not to push him too hard. Regular breaks are important for him to be able to process what he’s learning while not being overwhelmed.
Parent
Our child has been learning and engaging well with tutors at EK Outreach. We have seen an improvement in his levels of anxiety and state of mental health as he does not have to deal with a school environment.
Parent
Homeschooling with EK Outreach has been amazing for my child, I have never seen him produce so much work and focus as well as he has whilst being at home. He is far less anxious as he’s in a ‘safe space’ with far fewer distractions and people. Not having to travel to and from school (which caused him so much anxiety) has been incredibly beneficial.
Parent
At EK Outreach, they have good teachers and management who are always flexible, amazing and always champion my child.
Parent
Staff at EK Outreach have taken the time to get to know my child. Staff are proactive in helping my child to make progress. Their mentor has gone above and beyond in helping them develop their life skills and independence skills working towards their future aspirations.
Parent
We are grateful for your great communication and continued support. He has had a lot of changes in his life recently and we really appreciate your sensitivity and gentle approach to his education. Hopefully he will be more settled in the next term.
Parent
I enjoy my life skills lessons, my cooking is getting better, when I live alone I will be able to feed myself.
Student
As always it is a pleasure to work along side the team. I want to thank you and the office team for the Excellent support you’ve provided me throughout the term.
Parent
My aim is to go to university – now I feel I can get there.
Student
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate and thankful to EKOS staff they are absolutely amazing and goes out of their way with my son. Thank you so much.
Parent
My art time is the best – it’s where I can be free.
Student
I have enough qualifications to go to college and do the course I want.
