Loved by over 6000 students across 650 schools.

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 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 anymore grateful.

Matrix Education has been my go-to tutoring place since the end of Year 10. It has given me peace of mind during term time as I am supported by a professional, passionate team of teachers and tutors.

I really appreciate the dedication of all my tutors in ensuring that each lesson we get as much done as possible. Matrix has provided me with a quality learning experience.

Studying at the Matrix Campus is actually fun and easy due to approachable staff and teachers. The textbooks/theory books they provide are top quality in design but also content. Learning at Matrix has been super enjoyable and I would recommend it to other people.

Matrix courses are incredibly well structured and makes keeping track of one’s progress very easy. The teachers and staff are all helpful and vastly knowledgeable. Oh, and they’re all lovely people who truly understand the challenges we face as HSC students!

The teachers and workshop tutors answered every one of my questions, ensuring that I understood every concept explored and that I adopted the right study techniques for me to excel.

I highly recommend the Matrix Science course as I found this course to be very in depth and detailed, covering all aspects of the syllabus schools cover during the term.

My son attended the Matrix Year 11 Chemistry course and by all reports it was a great idea to do this. The quality of the instruction and texts made available to him were very helpful and have given him a real head start for the year. He will no doubt be doing more Matrix courses in the future.

Matrix provides the conducive learning environment that inspires students to achieve their personal bests. The option of Accelerated Holiday Courses and the online Matrix+ empower students with flexibility during the term.

Matrix is an amazing tutoring centre to attend. The learning environment helped me improve my marks and understand concepts better. The workbooks are of good quality and explain concepts well.

My son showed a huge improvement in his studies and over the past three years. I have seen him getting more confident. I have now enrolled my second child for Year 10.

My son enjoys learning at Matrix. We tried several online tutoring programs and none worked. Matrix is different, it provides you the textbook and online classes that you can use to help your child. I would highly recommend Matrix.

With Matrix+ I have continued to receive a highly in-depth understanding of all my school subjects, in a succinct form. The content was delivered in a video-format by a highly qualified Matrix teacher, who made otherwise complex information easier to tackle.

Matrix is a great learning environment, with the perfect facility to study and expand your knowledge of so many subjects. They’ve aided me greatly in understanding difficult content, which has improved my marks in school drastically.

The Matrix+ online program is excellent value – the resources and workbooks are shipped to your house, the video resources are of exceptional quality and you can get help whenever you need from the tutors online. A great tutoring provider all round, the staff are so friendly and adaptable and work so hard to ensure their students get the best education experience they can.

My child was never interested to take Science tuition lessons even though she was struggling at school. After one semester in Year 10 Science tuition at Matrix, I noticed she began to take interest and excelled!

Matrix+ online lessons are flexible and can be done at any time. They also offer free workshop lessons if you need extra help which is really useful. Highly recommend!

Matrix provides a great learning environment. The teachers are very knowledgeable and are always willing to clear any doubts and answer questions regarding the homework/lesson.

I have attended both termly and holiday courses at Matrix, and found the passionate teachers and in-depth coverage of syllabus content really helpful in solidifying my understandings in both Chemistry and Maths!

My son had a very positive experience with his Maths classes. The teacher is knowledgeable and caring which has helped son not only to be more confident with the subject but also to secure good marks at his school.

I love Matrix! I did Year 11 Chemistry and now I am doing Year 12! My teacher has always been very helpful in teaching and answering our questions. The weekly quizzes are very useful in applying our knowledge and so is the topic test. I would highly recommend Matrix.
