The Matrix Year 11 Biology course has greatly aided in a better understanding of the course content at school. The quality and structure of the Matrix Biology course – especially the Theory Book and Work Book – have truly helped me to tackle every syllabus dot point in a guided and orderly fashion.
North Sydney Girls High School
The Biology Holiday Course teachers helped me understand and remember fundamental principles. I was able to recall certain terms which overall allowed me to memorise them better during the school term.
North Sydney Girls High School
Matrix always does an amazing job at structuring the content around key concept that will actually be assessed in exams in order to maximise marks and study efficacy. Especially since Biology is a content-heavy subject, this is useful when preparing for exams and making sure to hit all criteria.
Sydney Girls High School
Matrix holiday classes run one term ahead of school, which I feel allows students to revise concepts quite well before they study them at school. Classes at school often require a quite in-depth understanding of concepts, and being able to revise these beforehand has been exceptionally useful.
Sydney Girls High School
Who are Matrix teachers?
Matrix Biology teachers are experienced educators who have degrees in related disciplines. They are knowledgeable, know how to explain things clearly, and make learning fun.
What are the teaching styles of Matrix teachers?
Matrix Biology teachers deliver a structured and engaging learning experience through a mix of instructional and interactive teaching.
Is the Matrix Year 11 Biology tutoring program mapped to the NSW syllabus?
Yes, the Matrix Year 11 Biology tutoring program covers every aspect of the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) Syllabus thoroughly. It extends students’ abilities and helps them develop strong foundations in all aspects of Biology.
Why does Matrix teach one term ahead of the school program?
Matrix Term 1 starts in October each year. This allows students to learn one term ahead and gain a competitive advantage over their school peers when the topic is revisited at their school.
Can Matrix Year 11 Biology tutoring improve my child's marks at school?
100% of our students have reported an improvement in their confidence and marks since enrolling into the Matrix Year 11 Biology course.
What is the class size?
All Matrix classes seat a maximum of 15 students arranged in U-shape formation to support an interactive and engaging student learning environment.
How long does each Year 11 Biology tutoring session go for?
The length of each Year 11 Biology tutoring session depends on the course type:
What's the difference between Holiday course and Term course?
The table below compares the Holiday course to the Term course.
Holiday Course | Term Course | |
What is it | 9 day on campus course | 9 week on campus course |
When is it | Holidays | Term |
Who is it for | Learn ahead of school and save time during the term | Learn in alignment with the school pace |
Course structure | 3 hour daily lessons over 5 consecutive days | 1.5 hour weekly lessons over 9 weeks |
Individual support | 1: 1 Workshops available during the term | 1: 1 Workshops available during the term |
If my child misses a lesson, what can they do to catchup?
Matrix provides students access online Theory Lesson Videos for missed lessons and revisions. The video lessons are easy to follow and paired with the Matrix Theory Book.
What is Matrix+?
Matrix+ is an online course consisting of video lessons paired with Matrix Theory Books. It’s accessible, more affordable and flexible compared to Matrix On-Campus courses. It’s an effective learning option if you prefer to learn at your own pace.
Is the online lesson live streamed classes?
No, Matrix+ lessons are pre-recorded to ensure the highest quality delivery for all types of learners! Our high quality, easy to follow video lessons allow you to view and follow the lesson at your own pace – pause, replay, or speed up videos for an on-demand learning experience.
How long do I have access Matrix+ course?
Online course students will still be able to access Theory Lesson Videos, Q&A Discussion Boards, and online resources until the end of the calendar year.
How will I receive the Matrix+ Theory Book?
Matrix Theory Books will be mailed to your delivery address via Australia Post.
