I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for the wonderful classes so far – I was admittedly a little nervous starting them, but you’ve made us feel so comfortable and open throughout the sessions which has been great. I’m learning tons and really enjoying myself, so thank you!

I want to thank you SO MUCH for the time you have spent with us. The courses have awakened the Reo that was within me! and this term especially has helped me expand the sentences I already knew. You are an AMAZING tutor. I could listen to you all day! You are very refreshing after a day in the classroom. I hope you get to have a break with that gorgeous whanau.

I have absolutely loved this course. I really struggle with learning languages (I did not grow up in NZ so have had limited exposure to te reo) and I have found Taahia to be simply fantastic. She not only explains things clearly but links things in ways that make them easier to retain, as well as giving us great tips to try at home. Roll on Poua Reo 2! Ngaa mihi.

Siobhan, Kuranui College Teacher

I also wanted to say how much I have enjoyed the class this term and last. It has been really helpful and insightful for me especially since I have only lived in the country for a few years. You really have the ability to make people feel comfortable and not judged when it comes to the new learning and pronunciation. Thanks so much.

We were lucky enough to have Te Ataahia come into our agency to teach us an 8 week Te Reo Māori course - the course content and the way Taahia delivered it was fantastic! Her lessons were well thought through, fun and engaging – playing into lots of different learning styles. Te Ataahia is obviously passionate about Māori culture, and very generous with her time. I would highly recommend Te Ataahia to anyone wanting to learn Te Reo Māori.

It was a privilege to have Taahia as a teacher for Te Reo classes. Her knowledge of Te Reo and Te Ao Māori, her delivery of the subject matter and her passion for teaching made for the ideal learning environment. I can't recommend her highly enough.

I had the pleasure of attending Te Ataahia's Beginner and Intermediate 1 levels of Te Reo Māori at the Wellington Community Centre. She teaches with passion, sharing her personal journey. She transforms the class in an opportunity for games (Snakes and Ladders in Te Reo is probably my favourite) and for learning the fascinating culture of Aotearoa's indigenous people.

Te Ataahia taught the Te reo and Te Ao Māori introduction course for my organisation Springload. She did an amazing job at setting up the learning environment that enabled our group of 22 people to engage and get excited about Te reo, and Te Ao Māori. Personally, I found Taahia's class incredibly valuable and would recommend her to anyone looking to upskill or build upon their Te reo and Te Ao Māori knowledge. Ngā mihi nui!

Taahia is a gifted, one-of-a-kind te reo teacher. Her own energy and ability to spark energy in the classroom is inspiring. She weaves tikanga + Māori perspectives into her language teaching, bringing a deeper sense of learning. I seriously can't recommend her enough!

I would highly recommend Reo Rua to anyone who would like to learn this beautiful language. The lessons are fun and informative, and even at a beginners level you will gain the confidence to use Te Reo Māori in your conversations.
