DR ANAHA HIINI
Ngāti Tarāwhai.
Kōtihi Reo Consultants offer the expertise of their prime Māori Language Consultant, Anaha Hiini. Born and raised in Rotorua, Anaha is a proud husband, father of eight and grandfather of four. Anaha’s academic achievements consist of the following:
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
Bachelor of Māori Studies - Waiariki Institute of Technology
Post Graduate Diploma in Primary Teaching - University of Canterbury
Post Graduate Diploma in Iwi Studies - Te Wānanga o Raukawa
Advanced Certificate in Tertiary Teaching (ACTT) - Te Wānanga o Aotearoa.
Anaha attributes much of his success to a passion for the revitalisation and the teaching of the Māori language and its protocols. 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.

I have been teaching beginner to intermediate reo Māori classes coming up to four years under Kōtihi Reo Consultants. I foster an easy-going stress-free environment when teaching, but also with challenges along the way to help my students’ development and growth within their reo journeys.
