Overview

Term Course overview

The Matrix Year 10 Science Term Course is a structured 9-week program that teaches the entire next term’s content before it is covered at school. Students build knowledge across biology, chemistry, physics, and experimental science, while developing the critical thinking and problem-solving skills needed for senior success.

Delivered in 9 weekly 1.5-hour lessons each term, this program helps students gain confidence, reduce academic stress, and prepare early for Year 11 subjects such as Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. By staying a term ahead, school lessons become reinforcement rather than new challenges, ensuring students enter assessments with clarity and confidence.

Course Timeline

2025 Year 9 students will begin their Year 10 Science course in October 2025 as Matrix teaches one term ahead of school.

A word from our
Year 10 Science students

Year 10 Science Term courses provided me with high-quality, thorough resources that broke down huge amounts of content into easily digestible chunks. On top of that, the teachers I had were all so helpful and passionate!

Hannah Wang
Tara Anglican School for Girls
Science at Matrix has really helped me to improve my understanding of scientific concepts. I am able to remember information that is actually useful in exams. The teachers at Matrix make an effort to explain scientific concepts so they makes sense.

Mei Yu Lim
Sydney Girls High School
The different Sciences covered at Matrix gave me a good understanding of the individual fields of Physics, Chemistry and Biology. I chose all three sciences for Year 11, after my positive experience at Matrix.

Yes, the Matrix Year 10 Science course thoroughly covers the new NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) Science Syllabus. The course helps students develop strong foundations in all aspects of Science, ensuring students are confident and well-prepared at school.

Does the program align with my child's school program?

Matrix teaches Science one term ahead of the school curriculum, with Year 10 Term 1 starting in October while students are still in Year 9. This means students learn in advance, gain a competitive advantage over their school peers, and reinforce their understanding and confidence when the topic is revisited at school.

Can the tutoring course improve my child's marks at school?

Yes. Parents consistently report that their child’s confidence and marks improve two terms after enrolling in the Matrix Year 10 Science course. Our combination of expert teaching, structured learning, and ongoing feedback helps students achieve stronger school results.

Term Course

What is the class size?

Matrix classes are capped at 15 students per class, seated in a U-shaped layout to encourage participation, peer discussion, and teacher-student interaction.

How long is each Matrix Year 10 Science tutoring lesson?

Each Year 10 Science tutoring lesson runs for 1.5 hours and consists of Theory, Application, and In-Class Practice.

How is student progress monitored?

Student progress is tracked through weekly homework review, classroom participation, and performance in quizzes and topic tests. Teachers provide verbal and written feedback to support improvement. Parents can view student progress on our Matrix Learning Management System (LMS).

If a student needs extra help, they can get instant academic support via our AI-powered Chatbot or attend optional Workshops for personalised guidance.

If my child misses a Year 10 Science lesson, how can they catch up?

Students gain access to Matrix Theory Lesson Videos on our Matrix Learning Management System (LMS), which contains the same content covered in-class. Videos are paired with the Matrix Theory Book and Work Book, allowing students to review lessons at home, and return to class prepared.

Which Year 10 Science courses can my child complete on Matrix+?

Students have the flexibility to complete multiple Year 10 Science courses at the same time. They can also enrol into past Term courses to review lessons or catch up on missed content.

How long will my child have access to the Matrix+ course?
