      I really enjoy philosophy and it's created a passion that I want to continue in university. I've also really enjoyed media studies and psychology - subjects I wouldn't be able to take at my normal school.

      Keira Student

      I love teaching students who love learning and have a thirst for knowledge. It's a great platform to encourage independent learning.

      Karen Blick Taeri College Level One History

      One of the biggest student successes I’ve observed is the personal growth of students to be able to learn in this environment. It was so evident that those who were already enrolled in the class were able to cope with Covid times very easily as they were used to online learning.

      Lynda Duncan Northern Southland College

      NetNZ enabled me access to an amazingly talented Korean teacher (Sue Kim) and use what I had learnt from her classes to achieve my NCEA qualifications to a very high level and to participate in extracurricular activities.

      Scarlett Wellington

      I went on a fully expenses payed culture immersion in Dunedin and Christchurch. Not only did this further expand my knowledge on Korean culture, but Chinese and Japanese culture too. I made valuable friends and over all it was just the best experience ever, and I wouldn’t have be able to do it without NetNZ.
