"I started off my mentoring program with different mentors, who had fallen through due to different circumstances. When I was introduced to Suzanne, I was really confident that my mentoring could finally take off!!! Suzanne has supported me in so many ways, especially in my own teaching practices. She has a wealth of knowledge - her own kete mātauranga - and is ready to share at first glance. Suzanne brings a positive, welcoming and calming approach to mentoring and through this, has really uplifted my mana as a person but also as a kaiako. My practice and approach as a kaiako now wouldn't be how it is if it wasn't for her continuous guidance!"
