About Odessa

Tēna koutou e te iwi whānui, I come from Te Tairāwhiti, Gisborne East Coast from a little place called Manutuke. I am a mother of 4 who was one of the first students of Kura Kaupapa Māori in Gisborne.
I have studied and worked in Kohanga Reo and graduated from Te Wānanga o Aotearoa with a Bachelor of Teaching in 2015.
Raising my own children in Kohanga Reo and total immersion I have always known how special our culture is.
My passions and hobbies are Art, Fishing, Diving, Baking and reconnecting with all my iwi.

David is a wealth of knowledge and it is very humbling and heartfelt that he is dedicated to Te Reo Maori and getting the pronounciation of words right.

Very fast and eager learning who already has basic pronunciation however being a new language we will start at letters- vowels and consonants. He is learning an individualized pepeha and will review each time we meet and then add on new learnings to build knowledge base.

Odessa is my mother, and has passed her knowledge and the language down to me, and my other siblings. Now that I’ve grown up becoming an adult I confidently speak te reo Māori when, and where I want to, without being shy. Without this amazing teacher I wouldn’t be expressing my culuture in the English language and Māori language
