School exams can feel like daunting hurdles. But what if you could go into them with confidence and a significant head start?
Hi, I’m Janithu, currently a Year 12 student.
Like many students, I used to feel stressed and unsure about how to study for exams. But after taking holiday tutoring programs, I’ve found smarter ways to prepare, so I feel more confident, focused, and ready.
If you want to know how to study for exams more effectively, here are my top 5 tips.
Imagine walking into a new school term already knowing the core concepts and topics you’re about to learn. That’s exactly what my Physics Holiday Course provided me!

This cycle of identifying gaps, targeting them with practice, and re-testing helped me get ahead of my peers week by week.
Instead of just studying harder, I was studying smarter. And by the time exams came around, most of my weaknesses had already been ironed out.
What really sets Matrix’s holiday courses apart isn’t just the structured courses and material. It’s the people.
Matrix teachers and tutors are subject experts. They have degrees in their fields, and they know exactly how to explain complex ideas in a way that makes sense.
Their support includes:
But it’s not just about the teachers. Being part of the Matrix community means I’m spending my holidays surrounded by:
