I used to find homework and school work difficult. It took me so much time to get it all done. After joining Matrix, I can keep up with school work a lot quicker.
The UCAT Prep Course provided quizzes that identified my weak points and allowed me to do multiple drills on topics I struggled with. The simulated exams were extremely similar to the real exam. When I came to sit the actual UCAT, I was already familiar with the layout and could easily orient myself without panicking.
Knox Grammar School
The Matrix Prep Course helped me to gain a greater understanding of the modules and what aspects I should particularly focus on when revising. This allowed me to efficiently study and feel more comfortable when sitting my exams.
Prairiewood High School
Teachers at Matrix are good and knowledgeable. We are provided with books and the class room setting is nice and clean. So far so good!
He loves to study and understands the topics much better. His performance has increased and became better.
Thinking Skills courses helped my child build profound knowledge for OC test (especially for Thinking Skills). My child is now attending Selective School Test Preparation course and it has been helpful and nurtured my child’s knowledge for the selective test. Thank you!
Matrix has allowed Max to be ahead of his school work and improve his school marks. It has also provided him with something enriching to do outside of school.
The Thinking Skills courses are truly amazing, starting with basic knowledge and principles, and have been so beneficial in building solid OC skills and strategies.
The UCAT Masterclass is frankly one of the best courses out there in its sheer ability to holistically tackle all question types from all 5 sections of the UCAT. It’s evident that UCAT Prep Course is highly dedicated to providing students with the most tried and effective strategies to smash out every single section, apparent in the structured layout of their in-course ‘textbook’.
Sydney Boys High School
Matrix Physics classes have allowed me to pick up concepts faster and retain information better. I was also supported by knowledgeable teachers and had reliable resources to look back on.

Matrix Chemistry class offered a paced and guided learning experience that has helped me hone my knowledge and exam techniques. It has a team of inspirational and insightful teachers who create welcoming and comfortable classroom environments, where I felt like I could grow as a student.

The English course is so well designed. We are exposed to many different text types, allowing us to prepare for any possible exam question that could come up. My teacher also helped me work towards improving my writing by pinpointing areas of improvement.
Mount Saint Joseph, Milperra
Matrix was honestly one of the best tutoring places I have ever been to. It was only through the experienced tutors and their brilliant guidance I was able to achieve Band 6’s in all my subjects and achieve a 99+ ATAR. I thank you Matrix and I cannot be anymore grateful.
Year 12 English term courses helped me gain a broader understanding of all the Modules as well as improve my analysis skills. Moreover, the valuable feedback I received from my teacher ultimately gave rise to higher marks and increased confidence.
Tara Anglican School for Girls
The structured lessons with quizzes and question time for homework really helped consolidate my knowledge as well as learn from my classmates.
Tara Anglican School for Girls
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!

I greatly enjoyed the Year 12 Chemistry Term course, as I was exposed to a wider range of question types and my teacher was extremely knowledgeable. The tips and tricks I received helped me to refine my exam technique and identify common HSC question types.
Tara Anglican School for Girls
The Year 11 English course was highly effective in preparing me for the rigours of Year 12 English. It allowed me to further develop writing skills and work to develop a well-thought-out essay under time constraints.
Tara Anglican School for Girls
The Year 11 Maths Extension provided me with a strong foundation on which to build a higher level of maths, coupled with extensive, thorough resources that never left me lacking questions! Moreover, my teacher was always engaging which made the lessons something to look forward to rather than dread.
Tara Anglican School for Girls
Most students practice thousands of UCAT style questions without knowing the most effective strategies to tackle them under the intense time constraints. This is where UCAT Prep Course is different, the sessions while giving students a general, well-rounded understanding of the UCAT, is detail focused.
Asquith Girls High School
The Matrix English course has greatly improved my English abilities by giving me more opportunities to practise my writing as well as providing feedback as to how I can improve. The lesson content is also presented in an easily understood way to deepen my understanding of literacy concepts.

Our English experts are knowledgeable, qualified, and have the real teaching experience necessary to explain concepts clearly whilst making learning engaging and enjoyable for senior students.
How do Matrix teachers teach Year 11 English Advanced?
Matrix Year 11 English Advanced teachers deliver a structured and engaging secondary English tutoring experience through a mix of direct instructional and interactive teaching. All Matrix Year 11 English Advanced tutoring courses include high-quality resources designed to provide students and teachers with proven methods for textual analysis, essay writing, comparative responses, and imaginative writing.
Does the Matrix Year 11 English Advanced course follow the NSW school syllabus?
Yes, the Matrix Year 11 English Advanced course thoroughly covers the new NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) English Advanced Syllabus. The course helps students develop strong foundations in all aspects of English, ensuring students are confident and well-prepared at school.
Will the course match what my child is learning at school?
Matrix teaches English Advanced one term ahead of the school curriculum, with Year 11 Term 1 starting in October while students are still in Year 10. 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.
Do you offer a Matrix Year 11 English Standard course?
No. Matrix does not offer a Year 11 English Standard course. However, students studying Year 11 English Standard at school are encouraged to enrol in the following Matrix Year 11 English Advanced courses, which build core skills essential to both subjects:
My child doesn’t know if they’ll be placed in Year 11 English Advanced. Can they still join?
Yes. Students are welcome to enrol in Matrix Year 11 English Advanced courses, even if their school placement has not yet been confirmed.
How many students are in a Matrix class?
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 11 English Advanced tutoring lesson?
Each Year 11 English Advanced tutoring lesson runs for 1.5 hours and consists of Theory, Application, and In-Class Practice.
How is my child’s progress tracked?
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 an English Advanced lesson, how can they catch up?
Students gain access to Matrix Theory Tutorial Videos on our Matrix Learning Management System (LMS), which contains the same content covered in-class. Videos are paired with the Matrix Theory Book, allowing students to review lessons at home, and return to class prepared.
How is the Matrix Holiday course different from the Matrix Term course?
The English Advanced Holiday Intensive is a 5 day focused program which targets one key senior English writing framework (Comparative, Evaluative, or Imaginative Responses). The program is designed to build the core analytical and writing skills that are essential for senior English success.
The Term course develops skills gradually across several weeks, allowing time for deeper learning, regular practice, and steady improvement.
Should my child enrol in both the Holiday and Term course?
For best results, yes. The Year 11 English Advanced Term course builds foundational knowledge over several weeks. The Holiday course complements this by consolidating learning in a concentrated format, allowing students to revise their skills. Many families enrol in both to ensure their child masters the content and identifies areas for improvement.
What should my child bring to class?
Students should bring a pencil case, water bottle, and a readiness to learn. All other learning resources are provided on the first day of class.
What is Matrix+?
Matrix+ is an online Year 11 English Advanced tutoring course consisting of on-demand Theory Tutorial Videos paired with a Matrix Theory Book. It is a flexible, accessible, affordable, and self-paced alternative to Matrix on-campus tutoring.
Does my child need to attend Matrix+ at a set time?
No. Year 11 English Advanced Matrix+ students can watch on-demand video tutorials anytime and anywhere. Students can pause, replay, or speed up videos, making it an accessible and flexible learning experience for all types of learners.
Which English Advanced courses can my child complete on Matrix+?
Students have the flexibility to complete multiple Year 11 English Advanced courses at the same time. They can also enrol into past Term courses to catch up on missed content.
How long will my child have access to the Matrix+ course?
Year 11 English Advanced students begin their Matrix+ online course on the first day of the Matrix Term. They can access all Theory Tutorial Videos, Q&A Discussion Boards, and online resources until 31 December of the Matrix academic year. For example, students enroled in the Year 11 English Advanced Matrix+ course for Term 1 (beginning in October) will have access until the end of the following calendar year.
