Guildford Grammar School
School Partnership
Our Commitment to Parents
We offer comprehensive assistance to your boarder, not just in academics but also developing mindset, motivation, and a genuine enthusiasm for learning.
Guildford Grammar School has partnered with A Team Tuition to be the preferred provider for tutoring for your family. This partnership has come from recognising the increase in the number of parents requesting tutors within the school and supporting GGS's mission to inspire students to achieve personal excellence.
A Team Tuition tutors are employed by A Team after passing a rigorous 4-stage recruitment process and 2-day training program. All tutors are reference checked, WWCC and Police checked with Guildford Grammar having full visibility of your tutor's details.
Once your program is confirmed with A Team Tuition, you will receive a session summary detailing each of the sessions your child has with their tutor. In addition, your family is allocated a Client Support Manager who will support and nurture your family throughout the program.
A Team Tuition is partnered with the Australian Boarding Schools Association and work hand in hand with Guildford Grammar School to ensure that tutors are aligned with your child's assessments and curriculum. Tutoring will be delivered online for boarders in all year levels and across all subjects.
Help your child meet their full potential!
Consistent Communication and Support
We align with Guildford Grammar School's mission and believe that students have agency in their own learning. Tutoring support can help your child develop the mindset, confidence, and strategies that will allow them to not only achieve personal excellence, but become outstanding citizens.
One of the fundamental principles of our approach to tutoring is the “child’s support network”. In a boarding house, this means additional support from tutors to support their network:
- Individualised academic assistance
- Providing study skills and techniques
- Mentoring
- Acting as a cheerleader
- Overseeing homework and study outside of class time
- Assisting in navigating social and emotional situations
We liaise with your child’s support network to ensure there are no gaps and provide feedback and communication with the whole network – so your child’s educational needs are seamlessly met.
Our Academic Advantage Program at Guildford Grammar
We provide Guildford Grammar Boarders with highly engaging and effective tutoring assistance.
The Academic Advantage program is provided to Year 7 & 8 Students. The program is carefully tailored to improve your child’s confidence, motivation, and grades by developing their mindset, strategy, and support during their most crucial years. We support students with the school curriculum and provide “A” grade study strategies.
We also provide assistance and mentoring after school in the library for all boarders.

“I am sure Jonathan will want to tell his APT, he recently received an A- for his Maths PSMT. This is an amazing turnaround from when he started with A Team Tuition (Term 1 2023). I am very happy for Jonathan to continue!”
“Thank you so much for matching our new Academic Personal Trainer, Maina, with Harvey. Their first tutoring session was an absolute success. Harvey was really happy and is very excited about the future and what he is going to achieve now at school with Maina as his tutor and mentor. Once again thank you so much we could not be happier.”
“Leyla and Coco have been working hard together on reading, recognition and spelling, and her NAPLAN results show it!! With Coco being above the national average!!”
“Jasiel was very apprehensive initially, our APT encouraged Jasiel to speak about her math concerns and Jasiel soon felt a level of trust. The way our APT explained the concepts and encouraged Jasiel to participate was great and received by her very quickly. Our APT has a great approach, very warm, friendly and funny. He spoke about his love for math and his current studies which Jasiel was quite impressed with. I can see why you mainly use University students.
Jasiel is actually looking forward to ongoing sessions with her APT, he gave her such a boost to her confidence which has been so low, he didn’t question her lack of understanding or belittle her, he was so encouraging and supportive. He gave her tips, let her know what to put in her math workbook when she has her exam next week – a few “don’t forget” points. He was brilliant. After what I saw last night, I’m looking forward to seeing the end result in her overall school, study, motivation and confidence.”
