Bio
I am passionate and have a love for making a difference in children's education. I love spending time in the bush, mountains and at the sea to get away from the busy lives we all lead.
I genuinely care about people. Its important to create a learning environment where I can connect and help them learn to the best of their abilities. Quotes from the I have taught: "You have shown us how to become the best we could be" "Your words are inspirational and like beautiful footprints that have been engraved in our hearts and minds forever." " Thank you for always looking out for us"

Life Sciences (Biology)
I am a passionate teacher who absolutely loves Life Science. It is important to connect with the children to help them learn with confidence. I always make sure to see it from a child's perspective and do my best to help with ways to understand and consolidate for exams.
Natural Science
I absolutely love Natural Science and have taught it since 2006. The subject is so relevant to our everyday lives. There are so many different and exciting ways out there to teach Natural Science - fun experiments, you tube clips, computer programs - it makes it all the more fun.
Mathematics
I am a unique and caring teacher who has taught Grade 7 Maths for five years. I believe it is important to develop a good relationship with children to make the learning process easier, less stressful and more fun. It's much more fun learning some of the Maths concepts outdoors instead of at a desk.

Girish
“According to my son: *** Mind maps provided by Tafline served as a good indication of the sections he should focus on. *** The worksheets gave him an idea of the questions that might come up in school test *** Great explanations with practical examples helped him to understand the topics better eg showing him the actual parts of a plant. So overall, I think the lessons were helpful. He's already looking forward to more interactive sessions with Taf.”
