Our Services
Eastern Outreach services are bespoke, tailored to individual needs, and created by professionals.
Our outreach services can be commissioned directly by parents/carers, home schools or local authorities. Eastern Outreach provides tutoring and mentoring to support children and young people who are either out of mainstream education or are struggling to attend and achieve full time at their home school.
Educational Outreach
We provide tutoring and mentoring to support young people who are struggling with mainstream education.
We deliver our sessions in blocks of two or three hours, either in the child or young person’s home (with another adult present) or in a community space such as a library or café.
Our support can include academic tutoring, life skills mentoring, or a combination of both. We can also help the child or young person complete work planned and provided by their home school. Where appropriate, they may work with us to achieve ASDAN Lifeskills Challenges in academic or vocational areas that match their interests.
Mentoring sessions may also involve activities outside the home, such as indoor climbing, sports, walks, or trips to libraries, museums, or parks—provided risk assessments are in place and the activity is suitable for the young person.
Eastern Outreach can also offer an Irlen Screening Assessment for the child or young person (available at an additional cost).
If a child or young person has an EHCP, we will need the plan, along with any relevant risk assessments and medical information, before sessions begin to ensure we meet their needs. For children and young people not currently in school, we can provide literacy and numeracy teaching tailored to their level and needs.

Irlen Screening
We provide Irlen Screening for young people struggling with the disorder
Irlen Screening determines whether color can improve your visual processing and whether the impact will be slight, moderate, or significant. You’ll also learn which areas can improve with Irlen Spectral Filters. Only those who would benefit moderately to significantly move on to the next stage—so you don’t waste time or money.
The screening uses specific tasks to reveal the full range of physical symptoms and distortions, ensuring Irlen addresses all your symptoms for maximum benefit. You’ll also discover which issues you’ve unknowingly experienced for years, as most people don’t realize these problems aren’t normal. This understanding is essential for improving all affected areas—not just reading.
Finally, the screener will identify the best colored overlay or combination of overlays to reduce or eliminate symptoms, making reading easier, more comfortable, and sustainable for longer periods.
