Author's name

As a teacher myself the expectations I have of other teachers is very high, but Anaha exceeds all of these. He always prepares well for classes, he provides an environment where it is okay to make mistakes, yet challenging at the same time.
Olivia Gibbons

When I heard about their one night a week class, I jumped at the opportunity to attend. I have found the classes to be supportive, nurturing, informative and most of all I had a connection with all my class members and our tutor, Anaha. I have already learnt so much, but the journey has just begun and I know will be a lifelong one for myself and my whanau.

Ph.D. Doctor of Philosophy in Te Reo Māori - Waikato University

Master's Degree (1st Class Honours) - Waikato University

Te Panekiretanga o Te Reo (School of Excellence in the Māori Language, Customs, and Protocols) - Te Wānanga o Aotearoa

In his personal opinion, Anaha believes that the Māori language is in serious decline and hopes to contribute to the revival of the language in order for it to be spoken in a native manner comparable to 60 years prior when the language was being spoken by the native speakers of that time.
