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 ...
“I’m so happy to chat with you about Charlie and Zack’s sessions. Our Academic Personal Trainer, Zack, has been fantastic. Charlie is getting a lot out of each session and most importantly his confidence is growing, which was my main reason for seeking out tutoring after being so unwell last term and missing more than half a term of schooling. Zack really connects with Charlie and supports him in his learning, confidence and planning ahead. I will definitely be continuing with Zack for the rest of this year and next year! He really is a great fit for Charlie.”
“My daughter, Tara’s, first session has exceeded both hers and my expectation. You will never begin to understand the impact this session had. Tara had a level of energy and confidence that I have not seen in a very long time. She is so excited to continue to learn. Thank you so much.”
“I am very happy with how the sessions are going. Avalon was sitting on a D to C and just received a B- in Math! Her teacher marked improvement with both maths and confidence. Our Academic Personal Trainer, Andrew, takes the time to discuss and draw out of Avalon what she understands and also struggles with. He is very patient and takes time to repeat things. She loves how he gets her to repeat back what he is teaching her to ensure she understands, as she normally is too shy to say. He has great communication skills and he somehow gets through to her as she is difficult to read. All round a lovely young man.”
“I think I was so successful because my study routine and how I approached maths completely changed. I used to have a bad mindset and hated the subject, now I really try my best!”
Jess went from an E to B in Maths in just 8 weeks!
“Our Academic Personal Trainers, Jake and Bodi are very well matched to both of our boys. My sons were so happy that all of their goal setting was done in the first session and I am really looking forward to seeing how the boys respond throughout the term!”
