"This has been a great support for my NCEA Level 1 son in revising for exams."
"I struggled to learn Maori online visually and was fortunate to learn Beginners with Kai Tahu Perth for 10 weeks. I found I required written structure hence commencing Study at Home with Scotty Morrison. As I have just started I mark Kete 1 as 5 out of 5. I am on Week 2 and the Knowledge I have gained is Astounding. I look forward to continued Study with the Workbooks and look so forward to speaking my Native Language daily. Ngaa mihi Scotty Morrison and Mighty Ape"
