Survival 101 for Te Ao Māori. Learn basic Māori language & protocols in a safe & fun way 

I feel incredibly fortunate to recommend Ani as a tutor and teacher. I know Ani personally because we are from the same iwi, and it has been a privilege to also be one of her students learning te reo Māori.

Ani has a calm, patient, and genuinely caring way of teaching that immediately puts you at ease. She creates a safe and welcoming space where you feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and growing in confidence. Her encouragement and belief in her students make a real difference.

Learning with Ani is about so much more than just te reo Māori. She shares her knowledge of te ao Māori with such passion and authenticity that every lesson deepens your understanding of our language, culture, and identity. She has a wonderful ability to connect with people and explain things in a way that is clear, engaging, and inspiring.

As someone who knows Ani both personally and as a teacher, I can honestly say she is kind, knowledgeable, humble, and deeply committed to helping others succeed. Her passion for teaching shines through in everything she does, and she genuinely wants every student to feel empowered on their learning journey.
She’s not only a great teacher but she cares deeply and advocates for her hapu and iwi, always there to help out our people.

I would recommend Ani wholeheartedly to anyone wanting to learn te reo Māori or deepen their understanding of te ao Māori. Any student who learns with her will not only gain knowledge but also feel supported, encouraged, and inspired every step of the way.
