About A Team Tuition and Our Exclusive Tutoring System
We believe that tutoring, done correctly, has the power to change the life of a student. We believe that building confidence comes from understanding the child’s emotional barriers to learning. We believe that teaching must fit the student, not the other way round. We know that all kids absorb information differently and when you put them in a classroom not geared to their preferred learning style, they’ll never reach their full potential. So we don’t believe in tutoring kids, we believe in reshaping the curriculum for kids, and letting them discover just how much they can learn. That is where tutoring becomes transformational. And that is at the heart of everything we do at A Team Tuition.
Our Core Values – Create Better
Create Better: Every session, every grade, every child, every family, every school, every community, every generation.
Each drop of knowledge. Each trickle of confidence. Every surge of understanding. Every spout of pride.
Every homework argument never had.
We believe that the good adds up. It leads to waves in the community. Leads to better classrooms, and better schools. Leads to more opportunities. We see each moment in a child’s education as an opportunity to fill them with pride, passion, enthusiasm and knowledge. Because when a child transforms, it transforms the whole family. When a family transforms, it impacts the whole school. When a school transforms, the whole community benefits. Our values aren’t about A grades. We believe in creating a better educational experience. A better education system. A better future for our kids. And their kids.
What would your life be like now, if you had the support, strategy and inspiration you needed? Would your children feel differently about their education?
Our team is here to create a tsunami. One ripple at a time.
A tutoring system founded on a transformational journey
Our founder, Hayden McEvoy built A Team on his own transformational experience. That's why A Team's tutoring system is unlike any other. Hayden was diagnosed with ADHD in year one. For the next decade, he struggled through school, barely scraping a D grade average. His Mum enrolled him in swimming and there he developed grit and determination thanks to the mindset coaching he received as a young, elite athlete. Hayden’s swimming coach designed his training strategy. He monitored his mindset. Helped him to focus. And it worked. Hayden rose to the top of junior world swimming and Olympics trials. His grades, however failed to rise.
Hayden, without realising it at the age of 15, began laying the foundations for A Team Tuition. Instead of procrastinating, instead of losing focus, instead of hanging out with his friends, Hayden became his own coach. He used the strategies he learned during his elite athletics training to improve his grades. He understood that not all swimmers thrive on the same training regime, so he set out to create his own learning path, his own schedule and his own approach to learning. He never considered himself a "genius" but once he changed his attitude to school, enlisted those around him to act as his support network and created a study strategy that worked for him (and all his swimming commitments) Hayden's academic career transformed from Ds to As.
When he became a tutor during his university years, he found that the standard approach to tutoring was much like the "standard classroom"; limited in what it could achieve. So, he began "coaching" his tutoring students, refining his own strategy and developing a strategy for the child he tutored. She transformed into an A student. And, so began A Team Tuition. The final product was developed with athletic coaching and child psychologist and then shaped by the Marzano Learning Model, also known as the foundations of the ATAR system. Tutoring isn't about "learning the curriculum" it's about creating learners who can thrive despite the challenges of the curriculum. That comes about through a combination of tutoring, mentoring and academic strategy. Since then, thousands of students have undergone our transformative approach to tutoring and the results have been staggering. Now, ten years later, we've earn our reputation as Australia's most impactful tutoring company.
The A Team Difference - Academic Personal Training
We call our tutoring team "Academic Personal Trainers" because our approach to education isn't about rote learning the curriculum, it's about changing how your child learns. That takes training. That takes change. It takes a bit of grit and determination. Our team or Academic Personal trainers are recruited, trained and developed by our core team to empower children to rise to the challenge. We recruit on values and the ability to mentor and support our students. We turn down 90% of our applicants because, despite stellar grades, they simply don't have the skills to inspire kids. And that's what A Team Tuition is all about. That's why we're proud to have been chosen as the partner tutoring company for the Australian Boarding School Association as well as many of Australia's most prestigious private schools.

... What Our Clients Have To Say ...
Lydia has been a wonderful tutor for Felix. She has a great manner and is excellent at teaching content across a number of subjects. She has also been a supportive coach and mentor to Felix, helping with exam techniques and building confidence. She always brings positivity, encouragement and good humour. We feel really lucky to have had her support and know she has made an enormous difference to how years 11 and 12 have felt and the results that he has achieved.
The word “Proud” doesn’t even come close to expressing how we felt last night at our daughter’s Awards Ceremony. The studying structure and skills she has developed since starting with the program has been invaluable.
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 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.
His tutor had instant rapport with him and was able to get him to open up about things we had no idea on (despite asking what we thought were the right questions!). Our son’s teacher has already mentioned how much more focused he is and that his attention to detail is improving. We are really very impressed with A Team Tuition.
Alongside greatly encouraging improvement in his academic results, the most outstanding and important outcome has been enhancement of his self-motivation and drive, and even more importantly, development of his self-confidence.
