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.

Teaching Style

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. After introducing and implementing the basics, conversational skills are my preferred method as these allow the learner to become more comfortable and produce at their own speed.

My Hobbies

I enjoyed attending Deaf events in the Sacramento area, and experiencing the outdoors: snowboarding, longboarding, going to the beach, kayaking, and paddle boarding. Going to or playing any sport any well: basketball, baseball, soccer, etc.

Other Comments

American Sign Language is an incredible language. Many people think, "I want to be able to do that because it looks cool", but this really doesn't allow you to fully immerse in the language. While it is absolutely fascinating to use your hands to communicate, the culture behind the language is remarkable as well. The ways the people of the Deaf community express themselves is like no other. From painting to poetry, the creativity and pride that the culture displays is part of what makes ASL as great as it is. When you consider learning American Sign Language, take the full leap and immerse yourself in the true beauty of it, you won't be disappointed!
