Sign Language is one of my top subjects! I have 12 years of experience teaching American Sign Language to students (3rd - 12th grades), educators, and families of Deaf children. The best way to learn is through fun, interactive activities! I have also worked with members of the Deaf community in the capacity of Interpreter and Job Coach for 15 years. I love this language and sharing my knowledge!

Clear communication is a key to life, that's my motto. No matter which language is being spoken, the goal is to exchange thoughts in a clear and concise manner. Immersed in the culture of the Deaf for 15 years, I have come to realize that American Sign Language is the most efficient, concise language; this is primarily due to the use of visual space, body language, eye gaze and the signs themselves. Students may find learning sign language challenging until the elements of the language noted above are more deeply understood. The best way to comprehend the rules and grammar of this language, I have discovered, is through fun activities, story telling and conversation.

My comments on tutoring Sign Language : Studying to become a sign language interpreter. Set to graduate this year

Sign language interpreter is what I am getting my college degree in. Am still learning but I do know a lot, as learning a new language takes a while. Sign language is something that I really enjoy. I've interpreter things from work, nothing big but still experience. I've completed ASL 1-4. Almost done with my degree as a sign language interpreter.

I love teaching and enjoy working with people of all ages. I am available to teach the following subjects: math, science, ancient history, paleontology, archaeology, writing, mythology, reading music, musical instruments/basic beginner classes (guitar, violin, mandolin, banjo, dulcimer), Visual arts (drawing, painting, sculpture, graphic arts, fashion design), gardening, herbs, horseback riding, and more. I am a firm believer in teaching by allowing the student to be more interactive - more hands on. I find that students learn more quickly if they can be physically involved in the process, and that they retain more information this way. I look forward to working with you!

A Little Bit About Me...

I have loved education and the process of learning since I was a child. Due to family issues, I dropped out at in the 9th grade but due to extensive reading most of my life on many subjects, and being gifted intellectually, thank God, I was enrolled in college at the age of 16. Due to my age, I lacked the discipline needed to succeed then so joined the Army at 18 and finished first in my class in their HS program. I continued going to college in the evenings an weekends until I completed my Master's degree, meanwhile raising 3 children and running a certified home daycare. I am currently a Realtor but am looking to enroll in a Doctoral program in Education. I am a "people" person as they say and get refueled helping others learn and figuring out a way for it to make sense students to overcome their barriers. I am comfortable with all subjects except the higher maths (trigonometry/ge ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a college graduate I have been driven to do my best to make sure every child is given the opportunity to have the very best education. I have earned my Bachelor degree in early childhood but do not hold a teacher's certificate. I have had extensitve training in edcuation courses, and love helping children read. I have been a part of a S.M.A.R.T (Start Making A Reader Today)program and have done some teaching to my boyfriend's niece who is now reading and writing. I love teaching children and helping them is helping myself out as a person.
I love teaching and working with all types of children. I think children learn in different ways and have to conform to their teaching style. I was a slow reader but have learned ways to make reading fun. I hope to make reading fun for the child. I want the children to meet thier full potential of what they are capeable of. I want to m ... read more
