Experience Summary
I am fluent in ASL from my years attending Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. I dream in sign. Worked as an interpreter since 2005. My studies in linguistics (presented at Harvard's first Linguistics conference in 2003) give me particular insight into the structure of the language and make it easy for me to identify and explain mistakes, so that you can see the bigger picture.
Teaching Style
My goal as a tutor is to figure out what's missing that, if you had it, would make all the difference. That's the reason you pay for an instructor instead of just reading a book or watching a video. My job is to see where you are and where you are aiming for, then plot the path and light your way. My expertise is in figuring out how to get you to get it, and ultimately to get you to a point where you don't need me any more. I've learned how to do this through teaching individuals and in workshop settings, and I promise that you'll see a difference when you work with me. And, for what it's worth, I've taken the Myers-Briggs assessment twice, and both times I've scored ENFJ: The Teacher.
