We have met with Young Giants’ staff. In addition, 20 clients and 21 tutors have completed an on-line survey (sent to 24 clients and 47 tutors) and we have followed this up with additional short phone interviews with some of those surveyed. For an explanation of the different tutor sections in the Good Schools Guide see which tutor agency?
The Good Schools Guide review of Young Giants Tutoring
The seed for Young Giants was sown when Jaime Johnson (BA in fine art from Northumbria, PGCE with dyslexia support specialism from Greenwich, plus a second PGCE in primary education from Nottingham) registered as a tutor with another agency back in 2014.

Need help?
Perhaps you suspect your child has some learning difficulty and you would like advice on what you should do.

America might proclaim…
There are currently around 163 state funded grammar schools located in 36 English local authorities, with around 167,000 pupils between them. There are a further 69 grammar schools in Northern Ireland, but none in Wales or Scotland. Almost half of these are in what are considered 'selective authorities' (eg Kent and Buckinghamshire), where around one in five local children are selected for grammar school entry based on ability. The others are areas such as Barnet or Kingston, with only a few grammar schools.
How to find a state grammar school
Word of warning: not all selective grammar schools have…
As proud parents, we all know our children are unique. They're smarter than anyone else's, funnier, certainly more attractive, better behaved and above all bursting with the kind of talent that would leave Daniel Radcliffe or Charlotte Church standing. And sometimes, just sometimes, parental pride is justified.
