Meet Our Tutors
Our tutors bring a wide range of knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm to the Community Education programme at Tawa College. Many are professionals, artists, educators, or skilled practitioners who enjoy sharing their expertise with others in a supportive learning environment.
Whether you are learning a creative skill, improving your technology knowledge, or trying something completely new, our tutors are here to guide you step by step.
Mā te mōhio ka ora. Mā te ora ka mōhio.
Through learning there is life. Through life there is learning.
