"Enjoyable and engaging content"
★★★★★
In 2022, NZ On Air teamed up with CultureFlow for Te Reo Māori lessons for all staff. An online space was created for interactive, enjoyable, and engaging content. This year we decided to partner with CultureFlow again, but to expand our learning beyond language. Cultureflow has been flexible and has gone out of their way to accommodate our schedules. The learning is interactive, and the tutors display compassion, encouragement, and support to participating staff.
Thank you Cultureflow.
Cultureflow makes learning te reo Māori easy and fun!"

"Powerful, insightful and a valuable learning experience"
★★★★★
“Sarah from Cultureflow gave a session in October 2022 on Te Tiriti & Partnership to our CA ANZ New Zealand Council group. Councillors learned a lot from the workshop and found it powerful, insightful and a valuable learning experience. Sarah delivered hard hitting historical fact but with an appropriate touch of lightness. The videos and graphics told a very powerful story as did Sarah’s own story about her hapu and iwi’s experiences”.

"Cultureflow has helped me discover my whakapapa and be comfortable in saying I am Māori"
★★★★★
"I started working through the material from Cultureflow five months ago, and the only word I have for it that translates directly is mīharo. I was disconnected from my culture for the last 30 years, and Cultureflow has helped me discover my whakapapa and be comfortable in saying I am Māori. The ability to be able to read and have a basic korero in te reo Māori has led me to more fulfilling relationships in both my personal and professional life. It has also spread throughout our organisation, with our offshore developers using Māori greetings to communicate. If you want to understand Māori culture and start to embed this in your own life or converse with others, I can't recommend Cultureflow highly enough."

"I highly recommend Culture Flow!"
★★★★★
Sarah and the team at Cultureflow have been supporting our employees with learning te reo Māori since the start of 2022. The feedback from our employees has been very positive. The tutors are very supportive, knowledgeable, passionate and fun! Due to the success of the programme in 2022, we are continuing for another year. In addition to te reo classes in 2023, Cultureflow will also be offering our employees the opportunity to engage in workshops on Waitangi Day, Matariki, Mahuru Māori and the Declaration of Independence. I highly recommend Culture Flow!

"The staff noted their confidence and curiosity has grown both in work and at home"
★★★★★
It’s been a pleasure to work with Cultureflow as our Make-A-Wish team learn te reo Māori. The teachers are patient and put staff at ease from our very first lesson. The staff noted their confidence and curiosity has grown both in work and at home, it’s given us some essential skills and knowledge to try the Māori pronunciation of words, rather than feeling hesitant of saying it incorrectly. Our thanks to Sarah Reo, Stevie and the Cultureflow team for the support offered to Make-A-Wish. Ka Pai!
