Meet our teachers
We put our student’s ambitions at the heart of everything we do.
It’s about helping them develop a love for learning.

All Matrix teachers have teaching experience and hold degrees or doctorates in their field. Standard stuff here.
They're not just knowledgeable but are able to explain things clearly, even the difficult stuff. So you'll have more aha moments!
Unlike our competitors teachers and tutors have separate roles at Matrix. Teachers focus on teaching course content to their class. Tutors help students through one-to-one workshops.
To ensure teachers meet our strict teaching standards they undergo over 50 hours of classroom training. Also, every teacher has a verified Working With Children Check.
Ongoing training and support with our academic heads and new resources ensures Matrix teachers are up-to-date with the new syllabus.
It doesn't make sense to have a teacher that just doesn't click with our students. That's why each term, we conduct anonymous questionnaires on our teachers.
