Sign Language is one of my top subjects! I took two years in high school and have taken 2+ years of college coursework. I have taught various people how to sign, from personal friends to the children of personal friend, as well as college students and other special circumstances. I have a passion for the language and love teaching others the skill for future use.

I begin with fingerspelling and numbers, move to basic signs used around the house and in casual introductory level conversations, and finally progress to more detail oriented conversations. Every student learns differently and I will adjust the teaching method to what is the most appropriate for that specific person.

My experience begins with ASL 1 and 2 in high school, followed by ASL 3, 4, and 5 in college. I have also taken Deaf Culture, Linguistics of ASL, Deaf Education, and a Fingerspelling, Numbers, and Classifiers course,having a wide range of knowledge of the Deaf community. My tutoring experience includes numerous college level students, close friends, adults and elementary aged children. Additi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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.
