Te Toka Māori Mentor Unit

Te Toka Maori Mentor Unit

Te Toka Māori Mentor Unit encompasses experienced university students or kaiawhina from different schools of study.

They are not lecturers, nor are they tutors. Instead they are fellow students who have "been there, done that" with a course and passed successfully.

They have a wealth of knowledge and tips to help you successfully navigate your academic journey.

The Māori Student Achievement Representatives are available to support all students at the University of Waikato, Tauranga. For more information, contact Layna Armstrong on layna@waikato.ac.nz
