In April 2021 I decided to stop doing Kōrero Poto – the brief summaries of reo Māori interviews on Radio Waatea. Well, times change, and I’ve now decided to keep on doing it. I’ve learnt from some adult learners and some teachers of adults that they’ve found them useful. I’m semi-retired, so I have time available. I plan to work on some other reo Māori resources as well.
Thank you to those people who sent warm wishes when I stopped doing it. I hope you find the new things worthwhile as well.
Mauriora koutou!

I'm Pākehā, but have a reasonably good working knowledge of te reo Māori ('āhua mōhio' means 'reasonably knowledgeable'), and I'm keen to share it with others. I graduated with a PhD in Māori Studies from Otago University in 2018, taught at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa for 18 months in Dunedin from 2019 to mid-2020, and have been teaching privately since.
I'm also interested in education generally, and have been heavily influenced by the researchED movement, and figures such as Daisy Christodoulou, Tom Bennett, Adam Boxer, Tom Sherrington, Oliver Caviglioli, Barry Smith and Doug Lemov.
I teach te reo Māori to adult learners (groups or individuals, mostly via Zoom). I teach beginners and intermediate learners. Modest fees, in keeping with my modest reo Māori expertise.

Mauriora tātou!
