Want to learn to use your hands to communicate?

I have a BS degree in Missions w/ a Deaf emphasis. I have been signing now for 6 years and have been interpreting for 4 years. I am also going to Community College in Baltimore County to get a certificate of completion for finishing their ASL (American sign language) program. I have experience with teaching children to sign to deaf people. They enjoy my classes. I have been known to immerse myself in the Deaf community.
I adapt my teaching to meet the needs of the student. I am extremely patient and very creative when it comes to teaching. If you are a visual learner you'll definitely learn quickly with me. I'm visual too! However if you are not visual that is perfectly fine too!

Sign Language is one of my top subjects! I was born and raised deaf, in a deaf family. Attended Maryland School for the Deaf and Gallaudet University.

I am a well experienced tutor, since this is something I've been doing since the seventh grade. I also am proficient in language itself; I took courses in linguistics during college. My boyfriend has his Masters in American Sign Language and I work as a tutor on campus (I tutor English and foreign students learning ASL). I am very knowledgeable about ASL and Deaf culture. I have and am living in it, though.

ASL Certified Tutor

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 at Germanna Community College and became certified in American Sign Language in 2009 and in 2010, became certified as a Paraprofessional Counselor. I've completed a 225 hour internship at the disability Resource Center under the supervision of their Deaf and Hard of Hearing Coordinator. The dRC offered a beginner ASL course to the public to which I attended as part of my commitment. During my time there, I noticed structure lacking from the course. I took the initiative to create a more challenging and innovative curriculum. I used the existing teaching method but gave the course a structure and implemented a syllabu ... read more

Sign Language is one of my top subjects! I've been tutoring friends and family for years! I love teaching sign language because it is a beautiful language that is easy for people to learn, especially children. Even babies can learn how to sign! I am studying to become an ASL interpreter, and have completed ASL levels 1, 2, and 3 with a GPA of 3.8. I communicate with Deaf people on a regular basis using sign language.

I like to teach through repetition and practice. The only way to learn something is by learning the concept and working with it over and over again until it is stuck in your mind. I often achieve this with flashcards and organizing by colors. Colors can help categorize different concepts by associating aspects of a certain concept with one color, and aspects of another concept with a different color.
I've been tutoring friends and family for years! I love tutoring because it is so rewarding to see my lessons help students achieve better grades. I am studying to become an ASL interpreter, and have completed ASL levels 1, 2, and 3 with a GPA of 3.8. I worked as a professional nanny for 6 years, so I have experience working with children, and I have been tutoring friends and family for about 4 years.
