Hear from recent Matrix students

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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’.

  • It was really good having experienced teachers for the UCAT course because you don’t miss out on any important details or tips. Having a teacher specialising in each subtest of the UCAT exam allows you to create a separate mindset for each of the five subtests which are different from each other.

  • 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.

  • The English course is so well designed. We are exposed to many different text types, allowing us to prepare for any possible exam question that could come up. My teacher also helped me work towards improving my writing by pinpointing areas of improvement.

  • Matrix was honestly one of the best tutoring places I have ever been to. It was only through the experienced tutors and their brilliant guidance that I was able to achieve Band 6’s in all my subjects and achieve a 99+ ATAR. I thank you, Matrix, and I cannot be any more grateful.
