About Deb Taylor

I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in elementary education in 1985. My experience includes substitute teaching in grades K-12, doing both single day and longer term. I also have been a Lead Teacher for Head Start, where I taught 4-year-olds using the hands-on approach to learning. Most recently, I was an online teacher for a major company and developed both the Mentoring and WikiAnswers' Influential Teens Programs on Answers.com|WikiAnswers.

I co-founded Tutor-Me-Online-Now with Robin, who tutors English and related subjects. My specialties are elementary level math and science, geometry and level 1 algebra.
