Matrix really helped me transition into High School level Maths by building confidence in my skills, giving me challenging questions that allowed me to test my knowledge and identify areas of weakness.
Sydney Girls High School
The Maths Holiday Course was helpful as it improved my accuracy and speed for the questions given. The Theory and Work Books were organised and easy to review at a later date, which is perfect for revision.
Girraween High School
Matrix Education is just not another boring tutor. Maths is one of the most challenging subjects for me but Matrix ensured that it would be the easiest subject I’d had to face. My grades even reached to it’s max!
Cabramatta High School
Matrix Maths was an amazing experience as I was introduced to new concepts that were challenging at the time and pushed me to work on my Maths skills.
St George Girls High School
Who are Matrix Year 8 Maths teachers?
All Matrix Year 8 Maths teachers are experienced educators who possess degrees in Secondary Education or Mathematics-related disciplines. Our Maths experts are knowledgeable, qualified, and have the real teaching experience necessary to explain concepts clearly whilst making learning engaging and enjoyable for young learners.
How do Matrix teachers teach Year 8 Maths?
Matrix Year 8 Maths teachers deliver a structured and engaging secondary Maths tutoring experience through a mix of direct instructional and interactive teaching. All Matrix Year 8 Maths tutoring courses include high-quality resources designed to provide students and teachers with proven methods for critical thinking, reasoning, and problem-solving.
Does the Matrix Year 8 Maths course follow the NSW school syllabus?
Yes, the Matrix Year 8 Maths course thoroughly covers the new NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) Maths Syllabus. The course helps students develop strong foundations in all aspects of Maths, ensuring students are confident and well-prepared at school.
Will the course match what my child is learning at school?
Matrix teaches Maths one term ahead of the school curriculum, with Year 8 Term 1 starting in October while students are still in Year 7. This means students learn in advance, gain a competitive advantage over their school peers, and reinforce their understanding and confidence when the topic is revisited at school.
Does the program prepare my child for Stage 6 Mathematics?
Yes. The Matrix Years 7-10 Maths tutoring courses are designed to build the strong foundations needed for success in Year 11 Mathematics Advanced, and Year 11 Mathematics Extension 1.
Can the tutoring course improve my child's marks at school?
Yes. Parents consistently report that their child’s confidence and marks improve two terms after enrolling in the Matrix Year 8 Maths course. Our combination of expert teaching, structured learning, and ongoing feedback helps students achieve stronger school results.
How is the Matrix Holiday course different from the Matrix Term course?
The Year 8 Maths Holiday Intensive is a short, 4 day focused program designed for high-impact revision of Year 8 Maths topics. Each Holiday program consolidates key concepts from the previous term while sharpening core skills in Algebraic Techniques, Geometrical Applications, Equations, and exam techniques to set students up for success in the upcoming term assessments.
The Term course develops skills gradually across several weeks, allowing time for deeper learning, extended practice, and steady improvement.
Should my child enrol in both the Holiday and Term course?
For best results, yes. The Year 8 Maths Term course builds foundational knowledge over several weeks. The Holiday course complements this by consolidating learning in a concentrated format, allowing students to revise their skills. Many families enrol in both to ensure their child masters the content and identifies areas for improvement.
What should my child bring to class?
Students should bring a pencil case, water bottle, a calculator, and a readiness to learn. All other learning resources are provided on the first day of class.
How many students are in a Matrix Year 8 Maths class?
Matrix classes are capped at 15 students per class, seated in a U-shaped layout to encourage participation, peer discussion, and teacher-student interaction.
How long is each Matrix Year 8 Maths tutoring lesson?
Each Year 8 Maths tutoring lesson runs for 1.5 hours and consists of Theory, Application, and In-Class Practice.
How is my child’s progress tracked?
Student progress is tracked through weekly homework review, classroom participation, and performance in quizzes and topic tests. Teachers provide verbal and written feedback to support improvement. Parents can view student progress on our Matrix Learning Management System (LMS).
If a student needs extra help, they can get instant academic support via our AI-powered Chatbot or attend optional Workshops for personalised guidance.
If my child misses a Year 8 Maths lesson, how can they catch up?
Students gain access to Matrix Theory Tutorial Videos on our Matrix Learning Management System (LMS), which contains the same content covered in-class. Videos are paired with the Matrix Theory Book and Work Book, allowing students to review lessons at home, and return to class prepared.
What is Matrix+?
Matrix+ is an online Year 8 Maths tutoring course consisting of on-demand Theory Tutorial Videos paired with a Matrix Theory Book and Work Book. It is a flexible, accessible, affordable, and self-paced alternative to Matrix on-campus tutoring.
Does my child need to attend Matrix+ at a set time?
No. Year 8 Maths Matrix+ students can watch on-demand video tutorials anytime and anywhere. Students can pause, replay, or speed up videos, making it an accessible and flexible learning experience for all types of learners.
Which Year 8 Maths courses can my child complete on Matrix+?
Students have the flexibility to complete multiple Year 8 Maths courses at the same time. They can also enrol into past Term courses to review lessons or catch up on missed content.
How long will my child have access to the Matrix+ course?
Year 8 Maths students begin their Matrix+ online course on the first day of the Matrix Term. They can access all Theory Tutorial Videos, Q&A Discussion Boards, and online resources until 31 December of the Matrix academic year. For example, students enroled in the Year 8 Maths Matrix+ course for Term 1 (beginning in October) will have access until the end of the following calendar year.
