  • 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.

Frequently asked questions

Primary Tutoring at Matrix | NSW

Starting tutoring in Primary school helps students develop strong learning habits early. Matrix students build confidence in core skills like reading and problem-solving, which prepares them for academic success in later years — including NAPLAN, OC (Opportunity Class), and Selective School tests.

Matrix Education runs one term ahead of the NSW school curriculum to give students a head start. The new academic year begins in September each year, starting with our Holiday Courses. By learning concepts in advance, students build stronger foundations and approach school lessons with greater confidence. This proactive approach improves long-term academic outcomes and reduces exam stress.

All Matrix Primary teachers are experienced educators who have degrees in Primary Education or English-related disciplines. Our Primary experts are knowledgeable, qualified, and have the real teaching experience necessary to explain concepts clearly whilst making learning engaging and enjoyable for young learners.
