Connect with your heritage, learning your unique sacred places connected to you and your family. You do not require this information to start. We will help you discover this information even if you're uncertain where to look. You are in safe hands.

Learn how to structure sentences in your introduction.

Differentiating Pepeha (your introduction) to your whakapapa (your genealogy) and Mihi (an introduction used for both formal and informal speech in gatherings).

This is for those who are curious and eager to learn the language, customs and protocols of Te Ao Maori. 

It's for people who are curious to learn the language while also understanding why Maori have certain customs and traditions that we hold close to our hearts.

This is for people who can carve out the time in their lives to come to class and practice.

This is for open-minded and nonjudgmental students to learn and flourish together.

This is also for people who are ready to make mistakes and learn along the way.

Who is this for?

MEET YOUR TEACHER

I'm Te Huinga

I have been teaching for over eight years full time now. I have a Bachelor of degree in Education specialisation in Te Reo Maori. I’m very passionate about teaching and sharing my knowledge of what I have learned and practised about the Maori language and customs. Regardless of where you may situate yourself on the learning spectrum of knowing nothing or knowing a lot, we can nurture your learning and understanding.

kind words

‘Learning Te Reo Maori is the heart of our culture here in NZ. Essentially an important essence of learning our identity, our heritage, and our Tangata Whenua Learn Te Reo with Tee, and you will gain not only confidence but will grow to love the language and the true meaning behind the beautiful customs and traditions’
