Science Tutoring for 1st Grade

Hi! I’m Mrs. Tardiff, and I’m so excited to get to know you! I’m passionate about helping students learn, grow, and discover their strengths. I teach third grade and I’m also married to a fellow teacher, and together we share a love for education and inspiring others. We have three wonderful daughters who keep us busy and bring so much joy to our lives. When I’m not in the classroom, you can usually find me playing volleyball, reading a good book, or camping with family and friends. I believe in creating a classroom where every student feels welcomed, valued, and encouraged to do their best. I can’t wait to make learning fun and meaningful for all of my students this year!

Hello! My name is Janice Taylor, and I specialize in helping students from Kindergarten through 2nd grade grow stronger in reading and math. With a caring and patient approach, I meet children right where they are and guide them step by step toward success. I believe every child learns differently, so I make lessons fun, interactive, and tailored to each student’s needs. Whether it’s building early reading confidence, strengthening comprehension, or boosting math skills, my goal is to help students feel proud of their progress. Parents can trust that their child will not only learn but also enjoy the process, gaining the confidence they need for future academic success.

Hello! I’m a dedicated educator with ten years of classroom experience and a passion for helping students become confident, capable learners. I’m married and a proud mom of two daughters—ages 17 and 21—so I understand firsthand the academic expectations and emotional ups and downs students face throughout their school years. My experiences as both a teacher and parent have shaped my belief that every child can thrive with the right support, encouragement, and approach.

A little about me is I love to teach, so it never feels like work to me. I am a mother as well and take what I do/have done with my own kids and bring it to my new kids "aka your child(ren)". I'm very open , honest, and enjoy knowing what YOU as a parent want for your child.

Hello! I am very excited to help your child reach their personal learning goals so they can achieve the necessary skills and confidence needed for a successful school year. I'm a firm believer in building meaningful relationships with my students in a nurturing, encouraging manner. I have graduated from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and have over ten years of teaching experience in grades 1st, 2nd and 3rd and have also done field work in grades K-6th. I am looking forward to starting this journey with your child and am confident that by working together we can help bridge the gap from struggle to success!
