Hi everyone, I’m a college student. I come from a deaf family and love being part of the deaf community.
I'm a hearing person, but ASL was my first language thanks so much to my deaf parents and seven deaf siblings
I'm in my final year at CBU, studying communications, and I'm aiming to become an ASL interpreter in the future. I've done some interpreting at the S.T.E.P conference, which gave me a good look at what goes on behind the scenes. Plus, I had a deaf best friend growing up, so...

Very patient, understanding, flexible
One of the best things about Natalya is that she is willing to meet the child on their level. When my son is on the ground, she gets down. If he's in a chair, she sits with him. When he's in my arms, she holds books up and signs to him there. It's great to see her ability to follow the child so she can meet the existing need and create improved skill.

Knowledgeable and concientious tutor
Natalya makes ASL fun for my daughter. She enjoys Natalya's style of tutoring. She checks in with her to make sure she understands what is being taught and reviews what she has taught at the end of class.

Great trainer, excellent communicator, passionate about ASL language and culture.
Natalya has taken the time to understand what I want and need to learn. She has customised her training style to my learning abilities. For example: she, through our conversations, has figured out that I retain more knowledge when she integrate words into the ASL conversation rather than simply reviewing a vocabulary list. This and other small adaptations makes learning ASL with Natalya a comfortable, beneficial, and enjoyable experience. CWiley
