I have helped tutor many ASL students and peers in ASL and I am proud to say that they improved as requested. Creative writing is something that I have always felt natural doing. I have help students with creative writing assignments, and even some in class assignments, once a student understands they just begin to write it all out.

Entering Year 3 of sign and sign on a regular basis and love it. I decide how best the child learns before making a full plan of how to help them. I am currently in college, attending Chabot College. I was recently in a 4 year college down in Pomona, CA for a quarter, Cal Poly Pomona, and in a couple of years I will be transferring Cal Poly SLO. I passed my high school years with A's and B's and have also been passing my university/college classes with the same. In high school, I tutored kids for free and a lot of them were in grades above me. Near the end of high school I started teaching younger kids through care.com. I absolutely love tutoring and I think it's amazing to watch a child's mind grow right in front of you.

I prefer to not speak while tutoring because all of my teachers have been deaf and an immersive experience is the most effective. Hello! My name is Emma and I have taken 3 years of American Sign Language. My experience in the classroom involves only having deaf teachers, which I feel was the most helpful to my learning. I am well aware of deaf culture and can provide background knowledge and etiquette. I plan to continue taking ASL courses in the Fall.

I grew up with a deaf mother and I speak fluent American Sign Language. I am considered a Child of a Deaf Adult (CODA), but not officially certified by any agency. I graduated with a B.S. in Business Administration Finance and worked the last 15 years as a uncertified, free lance American Sign Language Interpreter. My interpreting skills includes college classes (all subjects), medical appointments and social services visits. I like to show the concept behind the signs. Understanding the purpose, helps with learning.

Itaught two different schools for the Deaf, one in Maine and one in Fremont, CA for 46 years. Then I was an Americn Sign Language teacher at Delta College in the year of 2011. Last year, I was a full time ASL teacher at the Valley Christian High School in Dublin. And now I am an ASL teacher at Los Medanos College in Brentwood. I am very experienced with ASL as I am Deaf but can speak and read lips very well. Teaching has always been my passion and I enjoy working with people of all ages very much. I have a Master's degree plus 15 units from University of Maine, Portland-Gorham after I graduated from Gallaudet Unversity in Washington D.C. I also taught Baby Talk with hearing parents who have hearing babies and toddlers at the Livermore Lawrence Lab for 8 weeks. Another ASL class I taught was at Quail Lakes Baptist Church in Stockton.

I have been actively learning ASL since 2009 and have completed levels 1-4 with a B or higher. I have taken the lab classes to help improve my skills while interacting with other ASL students and a deaf teacher. I am an active volunteer with the deaf community and have several deaf and hard of hearing friends that have helped make learning ASL that much easier. I have the ASL books from my classes and also believe seeing and doing are better teaching tools than a book.

My vast experience has allowed me to perfect many different teaching styles. All children are different and there are many different ways to teach them. I like students to have hands-on learning so they can get more out of what is being taught. I believe in visuals and realia whenever possible. I think that songs and movement are very effective tools in teaching. I am a patient person with a great sense of humor that only wants to provide the best educational experience for all students. My passion for providing students with an excellent education has led me to 28 years of teaching experience. I hold a Bachelor's of Science in Education and a Masters of Arts in Special Education. Throughout my career, I have worked with a diverse population of students and have become proficient in designing lessons that accommodate multiple intelligences and incorporate aspects of varied cultures

I enjoy working with students of all ages. I like to get to know the student I am tutoring and what their individual learning style is like. I adapt to how they learn best and go from there. I am patient, and willing to do what it takes to encourage learning and success. I have always been eager to learn and help others learn as well. I especially love the sciences, but have always loved and excelled in school. I have previous tutoring experience, and love when new opportunities arise. I recently obtained a BS in Biology from Simpson University. This provided me with a significant background in both the sciences and in math. I have tutored high school student math courses, history courses, and science courses.

I am firm, fair, and fun. I believe in building upon a student’s strengths and strengthening their weaknesses. I like to teach to the individual student’s learning style. I achieve this by using differentiated instruction, concentrating on the individual’s favorable learning style. I may incorporate manipulatives, music, motion, or visual aids. I believe the student should be active in the learning process and enjoy being engaged with the material to become proud of his/her work and take ownership of the learned material. I began teaching in a second grade classroom. After receiving my Master’s Degree in Special Education, I taught at an inner city shelter facility. Shortly thereafter, I taught online for a cyber charter school and tutored at Huntington Learning Center. I have recently taught math at the junior high school level (for 5 years), while coaching softball and basketb

I love teaching whether they are kids, high school kids or adults. I believe I was blessed to have had my college education for free and my way of giving back is teaching. I believe anyone can learn anything if one has the right teacher and environment. So my style is custom made to the person I am working with at a particular time. I had full scholarship for both my BS in Computer Science and MS in Data Communications in two of the best colleges in the world. I thus have very deep understanding of Maths Physics and Chemistry. I have taught and tutored at middle & high school, ITT-Tech, The Art Institute of California -San Francisco and Menlo College. I have been an Instructor in the enterprise hi-tech industry on and off for the past 16 years. I am also a Certified Personal Trainer. I have taught yoga, dance, soccer and athletics.
