The English Holiday Course was helpful with improving my creative writing and comprehension skills. Our teacher was patient and calm. They were willing to help us understand concepts. The activities were engaging and fun.
Girraween High School
The 5-day Holiday Course for English gave me a deeper understanding of creative writing and grammar. My teacher was super nice and had a lot of patience when we didn’t understand something, and explained things really clearly. We did many engaging activities to help us learn concepts.
Tara Anglican School for Girls
English at Matrix allows me to enhance my literature skills across a wide branch of areas. The teachers in the Matrix environment are supportive and assist me kindly in whatever questions I need assistance with.
Matrix had a welcoming atmosphere and I settled in quite quickly into the friendly environment. I am so honoured to have been taught by such skilled professionals.
St George Girls High School
Matrix English is a very helpful experience that addresses all the important parts and aspects of the curriculum. This course has helped me heaps and now I understand a lot more of what I learn in class.

Term courses are structured, in-person courses that cover the contents weekly over 9 weeks during the school term. The weekly lesson structure helps students learn theory content timely. It’s an effective learning option if you prefer to learn in alignment with the school learning pace.
