Science guides to help you get ahead
Science guides to help you get ahead
Our teachers are qualified experts in primary education, with real classroom experience. They know how to break down tricky concepts and keep students motivated.
Our 4-day courses focus on the key skills for OC and Selective exams. Students build confidence fast with structured lessons and exam-style questions.
With just 15 students in a U-shaped layout, each class creates a focused, distraction-free space. Students learn alongside motivated peers and get more support from their teacher.

Since joining Matrix, my son has become more focused and confident in his studies. He’s able to work through challenging Maths and English tasks more independently, and I’ve noticed that he’s more aware of his own learning progress.
The Diagnostic Reviews are helpful for checking real understanding, and I like that the test results also show how students are doing compared to others and the difficulty level of each question.
I was concerned whether my son would get into an OC school or not. This concern was resolved by Matirx as he got admission to a top OC school. After the real OC exam, my son mentioned that the type of questions and difficulty level of the real exam was very similar to the mock exams from Matrix.
My child has always loved reading, but she used to find it hard to really understand the deeper meaning and put her thoughts into words. Matrix has really helped her in both comprehension and writing.
The Holiday Course helped me feel more prepared for the new school term because I learned how to use persuasive writing techniques like Logos, Ethos, and Pathos. I now understand how to build stronger arguments and write more clearly. It gave me a good head start giving me more confidence with persuasive writing.
Matrix has surprised me in many ways, especially class. It’s fun and the lessons are interesting. I thought tutoring would be boring, but my teachers make everything really easy to understand.
After the actual exam, my son mentioned that the types of questions and difficulty level were very similar to those in the Matrix mock exams, which boosted his confidence during the test.
The practice questions and tips really sharpened his skills and got him ready for the exams, helping him perform at his best when it counted.
The test [has] been particularly beneficial in identifying and improving on his weak areas.
I like that the test results show how students are doing compared to others, and the difficulty level of each question.
As a non-native English-speaking family, we were initially worried about our child’s English. However, Matrix has significantly improved their language skills.
I’d absolutely recommend it. For us, it wasn’t just about getting ahead, but about building a really strong foundation and genuine understanding. The teachers at Matrix are fantastic – they explain things in multiple ways until it clicks for the child, and they create a really supportive environment where kids aren’t afraid to ask questions. The materials are excellent and complement what they learn at school, but often go into a bit more depth.
I highly recommend Matrix to any parent looking for real and lasting results. Matrix provides a professional and encouraging environment that makes the students feel supported and welcomed. The textbooks are well structured and easy to follow. The diagnostic test helps me to gain a clear understanding of my child’s strengths and areas for improvement.
The resources are well-made, and the lessons are focused. It’s more structured than other tutoring we’ve tried.
He looks forward to the focused and high level of learning at Matrix. He misses his Selective Test Preparation classes now that those are over, as the topics were challenging and thereby thrilling and rewarding.
The step-by-step approach of Matrix in developing the concepts has helped improve my son’s ability to approach questions in exams. I really liked this approach, as many other tutoring centres focus only on practising questions without developing concepts in detail.
My husband and I cannot thank Matrix enough, as it greatly motivated my son Marco to get into Opportunity Class. Marco got to meet the wonderful Matrix team who truly cares about students’ academic success and well-being. Marco felt very comfortable and welcomed. Since then, Marco has continued his academic journey with Matrix Maths and English. All of these courses have greatly nurtured Marco’s academic knowledge and gave great motivation for Marco to succeed.
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.
I think Matrix Education courses give me the best form of learning. I love how the teacher explains things in class!
My son tells me he enjoys going to his Matrix Education class. He said the teacher is nice and helpful. The online resources we have access to are also great!
Students will have a half-hour break during the class.

Why should my child start tutoring in Primary school?
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 English and Maths, OC (Opportunity Class), and Selective School tests.
Why does Matrix run one term ahead of schools?
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.
Who are Matrix Primary teachers?
All Matrix Primary teachers are experienced educators who have degrees in Primary Education, English-related, or Maths-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.
Why should I enrol my child in a holiday tutoring program?
Holiday tutoring programs offer students a unique opportunity to strengthen their skills and gain a competitive edge during the school break. The holiday programs include daily two-hour / four-hour lessons designed to enhance practical knowledge and boost confidence in various academic areas. Many parents find that enrolling their children in a well-structured school holiday program not only keeps them engaged during breaks but also helps reinforce important skills in a fun and interactive environment.
What Year 3 – 6 subjects is Matrix running in the holidays?
Matrix offers the following Year 3 – 6 courses during the upcoming holidays:
Similar English, Maths, OC Prep and Selective Test Prep courses are also available as weekly Term Courses at Matrix campuses in Sydney, and as self-paced online lessons via Matrix+.
Is the holiday course right for my child?
The Matrix holiday courses are suitable for Year 3 – 6 students who want to strengthen core skills, gain confidence, and get ahead of their peers — whether they’re preparing for English or school, Maths, OC, and Selective School exams.
Where can my child attend class in Sydney?
Our Year 3 – 6 Holiday Courses are available at almost all of our Matrix NSW campuses: Castle Hill, Chatswood, Epping, Hurstville, Parramatta, and Strathfield. Class availability can be found in the table above.
How is the Matrix Holiday course different from the Matrix Term course?
The Primary Holiday courses are short, 4 day focused programs which focuses on intensive learning of a specific concept or test. The Term course develops skills gradually across several weeks, allowing time for deeper learning, extended practice, and steady improvement.
Can my child enrol in more than one course?
Yes. Many families enrol in the English, Maths, and test preparation courses for a more comprehensive holiday learning experience.
