Year 12 English students sayThe 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.
Elvera Abdel-MessihMount Saint Joseph, Milperra
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.
Hannah WangTara Anglican School for Girls
The Matrix English Advanced course proved immensely useful in clarifying ambiguous aspects of the curriculum and enabled me to develop strong arguments and reasoning aligned with the unit’s focus. The examination of exemplary responses and crafting our own writing improved my abilities significantly.
Jake MurrayNorthern Beaches Christian School
For me, the English courses were most helpful as they were tailored to your selected texts and include useful information on context and history, alongside the usual textual analysis and techniques.
Sienna MonahanSCEGGS Darlinghurst
I love the Matrix English courses because they are wonderful at allowing students to evaluate and understand different values and understanding from a range of texts. They provide a clear structure and process to writing essays to help me improve my process.
Afrina TanishaSt George Girls' High School
Matrix English courses help to develop a balance between the different aspects of English: teachers establish a strong understanding of rubric requirements before guiding us through a deep understanding of the text. Then we are guided through writing effective responses with feedback.
Alan WongSydney Boys High School
The English Advanced course assisted me in learning how to correctly structure my essays and address the relevant sections of the question. The classroom format was also beneficial to my learning, as it allowed for interactive discussions with valuable insights from both peers and teachers.
