Why I love teaching at Matrix:
Chemistry is one of those subjects that very few students are given the opportunity to truly understand. If taught correctly, chemistry is a highly accessible science that will fascinate and inspire any student to take a deeper look into the workings of their natural and built environment. When students leave Matrix, they grasp the central role that chemistry plays in their daily lives, becoming ambassadors for a cleaner, more responsible future.
