The most critical subject decision in Aryan's journey
⚠Calculus vs Statistics: All engineering degrees at NZ, AU, and UK universities require Calculus at Level 3. If Aryan chooses Maths with Statistics at Level 2, he cannot access Level 3 Calculus — and cannot enter engineering at university. This is the single most important decision of his school career.

What NZ Families Say
Don't just take our word for it — hear from parents who've seen their children grow with Class24.
"My daughter was really struggling with NCEA Maths Level 2. After just one term with Class24, she went from Not Achieved to Merit. The tutor explained things so clearly and patiently."
Esther Howard
"We enrolled both our boys in the Intermediate programme. The small class sizes make a huge difference — they actually get help when they're stuck. Worth every cent."
Wade Warren
"Our son is in IB and we were worried about Chemistry. His Class24 teacher has incredible subject knowledge and knows the IB IA requirements inside out. Highly recommended."
