50 Beginner Lessons – Te Reo Māori

Want to improve your speaking skills? Do you feel that you struggle with expressing yourself when it comes to speaking? My conversational classes will help you speak more naturally and gain confidence.

English Conversation Classes

These sessions focus on real, spoken te reo Māori — kōrero you can actually use. Each lesson is built around a communicative goal, so you're practising natural conversation from the start, not just studying grammar in isolation.

Suitable for beginners through to intermediate learners. Whether you're reconnecting with your reo, building on what you already know, or starting fresh — come ready to talk.
Lessons are relaxed, structured, and tailored to where you're at.

Conversational Te Reo Māori

Read a short article, then talk it through - your opinion, your take, how it compares to your country. Real conversation practice for B2/C1 learners, not grammar drills. No prep needed beyond the reading.

Read & Discuss: Current Events

Learn English through te ao Māori - the Māori world. Each lesson explores a piece of Māori culture (tikanga, pūrākau, history) as someone who lives it, then we build real conversation around it: discussion, storytelling, and comparison with your own culture. Genuine cultural insight, not a theme bolted onto a generic class.

Best for learners genuinely curious about culture, not just grammar practice.
