Student Reviews

What Christchurch Students Say

Real feedback from NCEA Chemistry students across Christchurch schools.

"I was struggling with organic chemistry at Burnside High. After just 6 sessions with Tachyon Classes, I went from Achieved to Excellence in my practice exams. The step-by-step approach to mechanisms finally made sense."

JT

James T.

Burnside High School, Level 3

"The internal assessment help was exactly what I needed. My tutor at Tachyon guided me through my Level 2 quantitative analysis report and I got Excellence. I'm at Christchurch Girls' High and would recommend this to anyone."

SK

Sophie K.

Christchurch Girls' High, Level 2

"Equilibrium and acids were my weakest topics. The tutor broke down Ka, Ksp, and buffer calculations so clearly. I ended up with E for AS91392. The online format worked perfectly from my home in Cashmere."

LP

Liam P.

Cashmere High School, Level 3
