Sign Language is one of my top subjects! I have a B.A. in ASL. I was taught by Deaf professors and have many Deaf friends. I have worked as a Deaf advocate and am aware of not only the language but the culture, history, and social issues in the Deaf community.

I obtained my Associates in ASL then went on to my Bachelors in ASL. I plan to pursue a Masters in Social Work for Deaf and HH from Gallaudet University. I have taken several summer classes at Gallaudet to immerse myself in the Deaf world. I worked as a Deaf advocate in upstate NY and maintain advocacy ties within the Deaf community. I served as Vice President of Alpha Mu Gamma which is an honors society for foreign language. I was inducted due to my achievements in ASL. I am very passionate about ASL and the Deaf community. I spent a semester observing ASL classrooms with the goal to analyze the difference between hearing teachers and Deaf teachers. I have worked with two ASL clubs in order to advise the club officers on how best to involve students with meets of the Deaf community in a culturally appropriate manner, as well as to increase the clubs visibility on campus. I tutored indiv ... read more

ASL Certified Tutor

I not only tutor American Sign Language, I offer beginner instruction as well. My methods obviously differ between the two, when I tutor I facilitate a very relaxed, fun way of communicating utilizing ASL to appropriate the student's level of skill and determine which areas need work. I like letting the student be in as much control as possible as far as the pace and duration. In a teaching situation, I start with the Alphabet and with the basic building blocks of the language. Each session is then individualized week to week in order to be precursory to the next and structured based on the pace of the student.
I had excelled in my first American Sign Language class in the 10th grade and proceeded to take the progressive courses that my high school offered. I also took a Psychology course and graduated with an Advanced Diploma in 2005. Immediately following graduation, I enrolled ... read more

My comments on tutoring Sign Language : ASL

Hi! My name is Jessica, and i am a sign language tutor! My mother is deaf, so I was raised constantly immersed in deaf culture and sign language (ASL). I also have experience teaching ASL to people of all ages, and I'm now teaching my own children (ages1 & 2) to sign. I also have some experience as a sign language interpreter.

Teaching is an extremely important job that must be handled with care and concern for the student. I firmly believe it is important to adapt to the students individual learning style and habits, therefore, my style is to adjust to the best method necessary in order to achieve success while learning. Many students are visual learners and prefer a hands on experience, whereas others could prefer oral, written or other teaching techniques in order to process the information. The first few sessions with a student, I prefer to ask them their learning style preference and gather ideas I feel would benefit the learning environment and continue my teaching style as required.
Beginning my sign language career in high school, I have learned to embrace the beautiful language and culture of the deaf community. At that time, I began to tutor a deaf child with minimal language skills and hav ... read more

After graduating from Strayer College, I had a very strong desire to continue imparting knowledge to students, as I had done in the past. I have earned a BA in Business Administration. I also have strong skills in elementary reading, grammar, spelling, phonics. I also concentrate in elementary math. Over the past 6 years I have tutored students in the subjects of reading, spelling, grammar, phonics, math, science, and history. I have also assisted in the completion of their class projects as needed.
I enjoy imparting knowledge to students while learning with them. I believe that each child learns by utilizing different methods. I am patient, a good listener, understanding, and willing to assist in any way I can with your child's needs. My method of teaching is to use a constructive approach to learning. I believe that each child is capable of achieving their hopes and desi ... read more
