  • Matrix Box Hill is a high-quality tutoring centre. The teachers are very qualified, and they have a wide range of knowledge on the subject they teach. They do their best in answering your questions. Often I have found that tutoring companies treat you as a number, not as a student. However, Matrix is great for accommodating your individual needs as a learner. The classrooms are very modern and there are study spaces for 1-1 workshops too.

  • My son attended the Matrix Year 11 Chemistry course and by all reports it was a great idea to do this. The quality of the instruction and texts made available to him were very helpful and have given him a real head start for the year. He will no doubt be doing more Matrix courses in the future.

Year 7 – 10 Tutoring at Matrix | NSW

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.

All Matrix Secondary teachers are experienced educators who have degrees in Secondary Education, English-related or Maths-related disciplines. Our Secondary experts are knowledgeable, qualified, and have the real teaching experience necessary to explain concepts clearly whilst making learning engaging and enjoyable for young learners.

Holiday Courses at Matrix | NSW

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 lessons (English and Maths), and three-hour lessons (Science), 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.

Matrix offers the following Year 7 – 10 courses during the upcoming holidays:

  • English: Concentrated focus on text analysis, imaginative writing, and linguistics.
  • Maths: Accelerated course aimed at teaching the next term’s content.
  • Science (Year 9 & 10): Revision course aimed at targeting a student’s knowledge gaps.

Similar English, Maths, and Science courses are also available as weekly Term Courses at Matrix campuses in Sydney, and as self-paced online lessons via Matrix+.

The Matrix holiday courses are suitable for Year 7 – 10 students who want to strengthen core skills, gain confidence, consolidate key concepts, and get ahead of their peers.

Our Year 7  – 10 Holiday Courses are available at select Matrix NSW campuses: Castle Hill, Chatswood, Hurstville, Parramatta, and Strathfield. Class availability can be found in the table above.

We offer Term Courses at all of our Matrix NSW campuses, including Epping and Sydney City.

The Secondary Holiday courses are short, 4-day or 5-day focused programs which focuses on intensive learning of a topic relevant to what your child learns in school. The English holiday course focuses on text analysis, imaginative writing, or linguistics, while the Maths and Science holiday courses are designed for high-impact consolidation of the subject’s topics.

The Term course develops skills gradually across several weeks, allowing time for deeper learning, extended practice, and steady improvement.

Yes. Many families enrol in both English, Maths and Science courses for a more comprehensive holiday learning experience.
