Kia ora my name is Tau Tumai. I am a maamaa to three tamariki, who have supported me through this learning journey. It is my passion to be able to offer akonga with the numerous tools they will require to flourish within their own unique learning styles. My goals are to create lifelong learners who enjoy learning and have the resources they need to flourish in the future.
