About Taylor Made Science
Taylor Made Science offers a series of live, interactive, online science courses designed to prepare students for success in science at the university level. The series includes a year of preparatory middle school science and seven high school science courses, all at the Honors or Advanced Placement level. New for 2022-23 . . . Taylor Made Science will be offering pre-recorded versions of the core science courses for students who prefer to learn while working independently.
Zoom class sizes are kept small to allow more one-on-one interaction between students and teacher. And, although the classes only meet once a week, the teacher is available between classes to every student by appointment through Zoom and through email at any time. Students can also set up safe online study sessions with classmates through the Canvas Learning Management System.
All science courses are hands-on with students completing real science labs as a part of their live online class experience. A lab supply kit is provided to each student. During class students complete their own hands-on work while collaborating with their lab group in Zoom breakout rooms, with the teacher available to help when needed.
Visit the website at taylormadescience.com for course descriptions, schedule, calendar, and more. All courses are late-August thru mid-May with traditional breaks for Thanksgiving, Winter Break, and Spring Break. Tuition and fees are competitive and include one-day-a-week live, online classes, lab supply kit with shipping, and individual help between classes.

I want parents and students to be comfortable with the level and the format of my science classes before they register. There’s no better way to determine if a class will be a good fit than taking it for a spin!
In order to give students a hands-on experience I have put together an introductory class on the Scientific Method, with sections adapted for different levels of science and math experience. Students will get to meet the teacher and work with other students as they complete a fun lab using household supplies.
Taylor Made Science is a College Board authorized provider of Advanced Placement science courses.
“My daughter took all of Cheryl's available science courses for middle school and high school and loved them. She has now taken college physics, found herself well prepared, and got an A in the course. She took Cheryl's AP Environmental Science and scored a 5 on the AP exam, with no additional study. Cheryl is a gem and was a critical part of our homeschool experience.” -Kelley R
“Cheryl Taylor did a great job preparing my students for science at the college level! All five of my children have taken Taylor Made Science courses over the last eight years. My son is now pursuing Biology as a pre-med major, and he feels Mrs. Taylor's lab classes gave him a solid foundation for college success. Mrs. Taylor is an engaging and disciplined teacher who goes above and beyond to make sure her students master the material.” -Dawn R
“Four of my children have taken multiple science classes with Cheryl. I am a science major myself and initially I was looking for a high school level science teacher so my oldest would have a college prep level experience as he prepared for majoring in engineering in college. Cheryl teaches rigorous, but not overwhelming courses. The students work hard and I appreciate that she invests in them and truly wants them to succeed. All of my children have been well prepared for their college-level courses. My oldest graduated last year with a degree in Industrial Engineering and another received a full scholarship in engineering at a large university where she is currently enrolled.” -CG
“Over the course of several years Cheryl taught my sons everything from middle school science through AP science. Every class was thorough, rigorous, and enjoyable. As a homeschooler, I was particularly happy with the quality of the labs, which I couldn't have done on my own. While holding her students to a high standard, Cheryl was accessible and willing to work with both parents and students to ensure their success. My oldest son, who currently attends a top liberal arts college, says that Cheryl's AP Environmental Science was where he first learned how to study for college level classes. Cheryl's classes are a great resource and I whole-heartedly recommend them to college-bound homeschoolers.” -Jenny L
“Both of my sons have thoroughly enjoyed Mrs. Taylor's science classes. These classes are/were consistently their favorite course of the year! Mrs. Taylor's love of science, attention to detail, and organization creates the perfect environment for learning.” -Julie F
“My daughter completed all of her high school science credits with Cheryl Taylor. During her first semester of college she took a biology class and was definitely prepared for college level science. She began the class with a strong basic knowledge of Biology and was able to build on that as the course progressed. I have a younger daughter who will also complete all of her science credits with Mrs. Taylor as I want her to have the same level of preparedness when she attends college.” -Jennifer C
“I was terrified about homeschooling science through high school until I found Taylor Made Science with Cheryl Taylor. Starting in 8th grade, my daughter took biology, chemistry, and physics - all honors classes. Mrs. Taylor's classes, encouragement, and hands-on labs gave my daughter a solid foundation to excel in science. Now a senior, my daughter will graduate this spring. She has been accepted to multiple colleges (large & small, public & private), received top merit aid, been invited into honors programs, and she plans on majoring in engineering. Mrs. Taylor contributed to making our homeschool journey extraordinary.” -Elizabeth E
“Thank you, Mrs. Taylor, for providing an excellent middle school and high school science education for my daughter, Katie, and my son, Ben. Both kids have such fond memories of your classes. Katie and Ben were well prepared for their college and university science classes. Katie took her prerequisites for nursing school at community college and is now doing very well in nursing school. Ben graduated with a 4.0 GPA and his Associates of Science in General Science degree from community college and is now studying theology and psychology at a private university. It was always so great to know the kids were receiving a quality science education in a nurturing environment when I enrolled them in your classes.” -Angie C
“Taylor Made Science filled my requirements for our high school science courses. I wanted thorough, up to date, academically rigorous science courses for my kids and they were hard to find! Cheryl Taylor is a fabulous teacher with the experience to teach even the most challenging sections of science in an engaging and approachable way. Our daughters took all their required high school science courses with Mrs. Taylor, and both girls recall her as their favorite teacher. Mrs. Taylor passes along her love and enthusiasm for science, and as a result our youngest daughter is now completing her Masters of Science in Speech-Language Pathology. Thank you, Mrs. Taylor!” -Lauren B
“Cheryl teaches amazing honors level science classes that launch your child into the university level including STEM fields. All 3 of my kids took upper level science classes with Cheryl and all 3 have entered major universities with scholarships, some majoring in STEM areas. My kids were competitive in all the science classes beyond their peers in most cases. Cheryl does an amazing job of calling students to a high standard in her field while keeping clear structure and constant feedback to help them dive further in and master difficult areas of study. If you are interested in your child's future success, Cheryl's science classes are the best investment.” -Sharon P
