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"

“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.”- Grace
