  • Matrix Box Hill is a high-quality tutoring centre. The teachers are very qualified, and they have a wide range of knowledge on the subject they teach. They do their best in answering your questions. Often I have found that tutoring companies treat you as a number, not as a student. However, Matrix is great for accommodating your individual needs as a learner. The classrooms are very modern and there are study spaces for 1-1 workshops too.

  • My son attended the Matrix Year 11 Chemistry course and by all reports it was a great idea to do this. The quality of the instruction and texts made available to him were very helpful and have given him a real head start for the year. He will no doubt be doing more Matrix courses in the future.
