Dynamic and Knowledgeable American Sign Language Tutor

American Sign Language (ASL) is a complete and beautiful language with a rich history. I hold an Associates Degree with an emphasis in Sign Language Interpreting from Front Range Community College. I am fluent in ASL and have a deep understanding of its crucial role and significance within the Deaf community. I can provide ASL tutoring on any level you desire from basic conversation skills (i.e. to help you communicate with Deaf friends and/or family members)...to lessons regarding ASL linguistic features and in-depth lessons about Deaf community values and history...and every level in-between. My goal is to help you feel confident and find success in communicating through ASL.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching a great deal and working with all ages of children. However my favored age group is adolescents. I try as much as possible to appeal to as many learning styles as I can in each situation. Not only does this increase the amount of understanding in the student, but it also increases the amount of retention. It has been my experience that if a visual learner gains understanding visually, that understanding is reinforced by other avenues, such as auditory, or kinesthetic. I always do my best to make sure that the student has learned the needed material and gained competency in whatever skill they are learning.
When I graduated college I found myself wanting to help others. I began doing this by counseling youth who had substance abuse issues. For a time I also worked with the youth at a homeless shelter. Helping them with homework, ESL studies, and math skills. ... read more

From teaching preschoolers how to read to teaching high school students how to survive (and enjoy!) Algebra, I find it rewarding to discover how individual students learn and then help them to succeed in their efforts. I love kids and am able to relate to different age levels and needs. I understand that every child learns differently and has unique strengths and weaknesses. My goal is to be able to teach children fundamental concepts that translate into solving specific problems. For example, I teach phonics as a base for reading so that students are able to use the concepts they have learned to sound out new words. In math courses, I not only aid in completing particular equations, but I also make sure the student understands the principles and applies them in other situations. I desire to partner with parents in helping their child achieve academic excellence.
Although I h ... read more

In all my endeavors I strive for variety. My collegiate career at UC Berkeley involved strong academics, competitive athletics and International Study Abroad experiences. My degree in Natural Resources focused heavily on science, specifically ecology, and multiple-use resource management with strong math and social science components. I complimented my core studies with classes on environmental literature and art which helped develop critical reading and writing skills. I have previous tutoring experience with high school math as well as the continual phone-call tutoring sessions with my 17-year old sister, which include Chemistry, Math, History and English! My experience teaching American Sign Language at the university level and my TEFL certification have prepared me well for a tutoring position.
I teach with passion and enjoyment, which has always proved conducive to the le ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love to see a student light up when he realizes for the first time that he is capable of achieving success in an area that he has previously experienced failure. I understand that each person has his own way of learning and I am sensitive to those who need special attention or non-traditional forms of learning. My goal is to provide each student with the tools and knowledge to learn on their own. Incorporating basic study skills into a lesson is key to watching a student become an independent and lifetime learner. I believe that learning is fun and hopefully my enthusiasm and love for learning can help spark a similar love in my student.
My level of academic excellence has led me to pursue a career in teaching. I have earned two degrees, AFA in Vocal Performance and BA in religion and philosophy which has demonstrated and expanded my experience, knowledge, and ability in the area ... read more

During my three years of formal tutoring, I was able to change my tutoring styles to fit the needs of the student. Everyone learns differently and it is important to realize and adjust my tutoring accordingly.
During the last three years of my undergraduate college career, I was a Mathematics tutor for student athletes. Although the courses covered while tutoring ranged from basic math to calculus, I am more comfotable tutoring algebra and geometry. I earned my BA with a double major in Mathematics and Russian in just four years. After college, I helped my sister and step-sister with their math and math-related physcis problems.

More About This Tutor...

I have worked as a special education teacher, both in and outside of the general classroom setting. My experience has been with all age groups, especially birth through 5th grade, however I have recently begun working with at-risk high school students in an online curriculum. I have worked with children with all ranges of disabilities, from various types of learning challenges to physically challenged students and children diagnosed with behavioral differences. I enjoy adapting curriculum and academic tasks to meet individual learning styles.
My teaching style is based on my belief that students learn best when an assignment becomes more of a "hands on" activity. Experiential learning can help all students if tailored to meet their needs as a unique learner. I strive for all of my students to become lifelong learners so that they have a set of strategies with which to approach ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Learning should be fun and engaging. My goal is to be patient and inviting, so the learner feels comfortable around me from the start. Positive feedback helps increase a student's self esteem. I understand that every child is an individual so there is not one universal teaching formula. However, we can all learn by example or something we can relate to. I try to make a connection for the student so that the topic of study is relevant, applicable, and interesting.
I graduated from Tufts University where I earned a BA degree in both French and International Relations. I spent the four months immediately following my graduation working in Talloires, France, where I helped run an academic program for high school and college students from around the world. In addition to planning trips and programs, our institution offered an ESL program teaching English to French high school studen ... read more
