“delivered highly engaging and tailored lessons that have built our staffs confidence and ability.”
Amiria’s classes have involved her building an understanding of our staffs learning needs and their level of prior knowledge. She has developed and planned material for each class, and delivered highly engaging and tailored lessons that have built our staffs confidence and ability. When staff have needed extra support to keep up, Amiria has built revision classes to consolidate our knowledge, and provided direct feedback to each person to improve our understanding. The classes are built around interactive games, waiata and activities, so that we are learning from eachother, in an encouraging and supportive environment. The classes have been very successful and in total we have had approximately 80 students learning Te Reo Māori with Amiria.
