Young Giants is a specialist AP tuition service, operating in term‑time. We believe that every child, if given the right support, can thrive academically and reach their full potential. That’s why we never refuse a referral, no matter how complex the case.

Our service is run by qualified teachers, who manage and maintain the high quality of every learner’s development programme. Our tutors and mentors are at the heart of the operation, delivering these programmes straight to learners. We work hard to create a supportive and collaborative working environment for our staff, which we’re proud to say has led to exceptionally high retention rates.
