onlineon-campusWhat our
Year 11 English students sayI 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.
Astride D.The UCAT Prep Course provided quizzes that identified my weak points and allowed me to do multiple drills on topics I struggled with. The simulated exams were extremely similar to the real exam. When I came to sit the actual UCAT, I was already familiar with the layout and could easily orient myself without panicking.
Justin K.Knox Grammar School
The Matrix Prep Course helped me to gain a greater understanding of the modules and what aspects I should particularly focus on when revising. This allowed me to efficiently study and feel more comfortable when sitting my exams.
Ngan N.Prairiewood High School
Teachers at Matrix are good and knowledgeable. We are provided with books and the class room setting is nice and clean. So far so good!
Parent of Ashanty O.He loves to study and understands the topics much better. His performance has increased and became better.
Parent of Kian S.Thinking Skills courses helped my child build profound knowledge for OC test (especially for Thinking Skills). My child is now attending Selective School Test Preparation course and it has been helpful and nurtured my child’s knowledge for the selective test. Thank you!
Parent of Macro J.Matrix has allowed Max to be ahead of his school work and improve his school marks. It has also provided him with something enriching to do outside of school.
Parent of Max C.The Thinking Skills courses are truly amazing, starting with basic knowledge and principles, and have been so beneficial in building solid OC skills and strategies.
Parent of Pablo J.The UCAT Masterclass is frankly one of the best courses out there in its sheer ability to holistically tackle all question types from all 5 sections of the UCAT. It’s evident that UCAT Prep Course is highly dedicated to providing students with the most tried and effective strategies to smash out every single section, apparent in the structured layout of their in-course ‘textbook’.
Sajid R.Sydney Boys High School
Matrix Physics classes have allowed me to pick up concepts faster and retain information better. I was also supported by knowledgeable teachers and had reliable resources to look back on. Matrix ensures that students not only understand the HSC content, but comprehend the reasoning and important foundations behind it as well.

Matrix Chemistry class offered a paced and guided learning experience that has helped me hone my knowledge and exam techniques. It has a team of inspirational and insightful teachers who create welcoming and comfortable classroom environments, where I felt like I could grow as a student.

Moreover, my teacher was always engaging which made the lessons something to look forward to rather than dread.
Hannah WangTara Anglican School for Girls
Most students practice thousands of UCAT style questions without knowing the most effective strategies to tackle them under the intense time constraints. This is where UCAT Prep Course is different, the sessions while giving students a general, well-rounded understanding of the UCAT, is detail focused.
Ailish C.Asquith Girls High School
