I grew up speaking English and some Portuguese but have since lost my hearing and rely heavily on ASL to communicate day to day.
I recently graduated with my AS in pre-nursing and am in the process of becoming an EMT. I enjoy writing and hanging out with my dogs, friends, and family. I have experience learning ASL, as I didn't grow up using it, and want to provide a safe and welcoming space for beginners to start their journey. I have experience tutoring on SuperProf, Preply, as well as in-person tutoring through my (recently!) old community college!
I can provide an immersive environment to learn at an easy, slow pace for beginners. We all feel a little shy and awkward when starting out something new! Since I am HoH, my sessions are sign only! This creates a great environment that preps your mind for moving away from English. Everyone is welcomed and accepted regardless of age, race, gender identity, sexuality, disability, etc.
If you are currently taking an ASL course outside of the lessons with me, I strongly suggest bringing the material into our sessions so I am able to help with any prep, clarification, or homework.
All sessions are PST ~ :3
