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.

... What Our Clients Have To Say ...
“Their approach to working with young people as extremely professional and very much focused on the individual needs and circumstances of each child. A Team Tuition is focused on delivering the best possible outcomes to all students irrespective of their academic ability and are well versed in supporting children within the Out Of Home Care sector.”
Their unique approach to helping students feel confident in their preparation for exams, assessments and increasing their literacy and numeracy skills, sets them up for success, no matter their hesitations. It is so important, especially within this generation, to find ways to keep students engaged in the learning process.
“Our son really liked his Academic Personal Trainer, Zach, and couldn’t believe how quickly the time went by. He said it was 5.20pm before he knew it. He enjoyed the session a lot and asked if he could buy a novel to read last night. He doesn’t ever want to read… let alone buy a book!
Today he went and purchased a book to start working toward his reading goal. Thank you for working with us to get him some help with his learning.”
“Everyone comments on her confidence.”
“Cecelia has never passed English before so we’re really celebrating this C. The teacher said that she’s on course for a B this term and everyone, her teacher, her teacher’s aide and her reading group leader – they’ve all said she’s far more confident, putting her opinion out there, and finally feeling brave enough to read out loud. This has been a big celebration in our house.”
“Oh my god, I thought this was too good to be true! I am over the moon with A Team Tuition and our APT, James. He and Jason hit it off really well and my son’s confidence has already improved. His body language has changed and instead of struggling with him to get out of the car for school today, he jumped out and was happy to go inside. All it took was one person to sit with him one on one and give him praise, teach him, to change everything for him!
A weight has been lifted from my shoulders thanks to A Team Tuition & James.”
