About
Young Giants
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.
The Role
You’ll
use your relevant knowledge and experience to deliver bespoke
1:1 sessions to our learners with SEND, including Autism,
ADHD and SEMH.
Sessions will
always take place during the day, according to fixed
timetables, either in a learner’s home or
local community venue. More specifically, you will:
- Use
creative, engaging approaches tailored to each
learner’s interests, with the purpose of supporting
them to re-engage with education and consider their
futures.
- Build
positive relationships and foster confidence in our
learners.
As a tutor, you will also:
- Teach
Maths and English functional skills
- Deliver
ASDAN Life skills programmes to support the development of
confidence and independence in our learners. Find out more about
