Hard of Hearing

Hard of Hearing

As an ASL interpreter who is hard of hearing, I have a personal understanding of the unique communication needs of students who are Deaf or hard-of-hearing. My dual presence in both the hearing and Deaf communities allows me to bridge the gap. To do this, I use hearing aids to continue working as an interpreter. I am patient and can effectively communicate in ASL and orally, with experience tutoring individuals in English, reading, writing, and ASL. I believe that everyone deserves equal access to education, and I am committed to providing that support.
Sign Language

Sign Language

With over 16 years as a medical ASL interpreter, a decade of ASL teaching experience, and current work as a Linguist in A.I. ASL development, I bring real-world expertise and cultural depth to every lesson. I hold a B.S. from Cal Poly University, have completed formal ASL interpreter training, and stay current through continued education. My close connection with the Deaf community both professionally and personally, allows me to offer students culturally grounded, authentic learning experiences. I specialize in helping high school and college students master ASL grammar, gloss, vocabulary, Deaf culture, and conversational fluency, providing personalized support and constructive feedback. Whether you’re learning ASL to communicate with someone you love, explore a new language, or deepen your appreciation for Deaf culture, I’m here to support your journey at your own pace. Let’s build your confidence, deepen your understanding, and celebrate the beauty of ASL together.

Reviews

Knowledgeable, organized & goes above and beyond.

Rosanne helped my 17 year old daughter with her High School ASL class. Rosanne was extremely knowledgeable and very organized. You could tell she wanted to help my daughter in any way that she could, and went above and beyond by sending her extra resources etc. after the session. I was incredibly impressed with Rosanne and will contact her every time my daughter needs help with ASL.

Hi Mandy, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I'm delighted to hear that my support was helpful for your daughter's ASL class. Your kind words and trust mean a lot to me. I wish your daughter the best!

ASL

Ms. Rosanne is an amazing ASL tutor! She really cares that the student is actually picking up sign language and in the correct way as well as there is PSE and other forms of sign language. I really enjoy how dedicated she is to ensuring that I am taking in the language and the culture as a whole rather than just trying to have me memorize signs. Additionally, she gave me access to a lot of things I could do both in person and online to get better at signing i.e., showed me how to join groups, deaf events etc. By far my favorite ASL tutor I have had yet. Love Ms. Rosanne she is awesome

ASL 201 Help

Rosanne is a great individual who has helped me learn above and beyond what they have taught in my college ASL 2 class! I started out not remembering much from my first class but she helped me catch up to speed in no time. If you are looking for an ASL tutor, I highly recommend her!!

Hi Kim, Thank you so much! I’m grateful to have been part of your learning journey, and I appreciate your kind words.

Knowledgeable and Friendly Tutor

She taught me the whole alphabet and numbers in one sitting. I know common phrases when meeting someone, and how to say/ask things. Even though learning ASL is a hobby, I plan to learn the entire language.

Great Teacher that makes you smile!

Rosanne is a great ASL tutor that is one of the few hearing tutors on Wyzant. She is excellent and the fact that she is able to verbalize the lesson allows you to cover more material in less time.

Hi Victoria, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It's been a pleasure getting to know you!

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!

Rosanne used the book I am currently using in my class which was wonderful. She taught me new vocabulary, and helped me to structure my sentences better. She was patient, and willing to help. She also provided resources to help with signing more. She has so much experience and willing to share that knowledge. Rosanne is a wonderful ASL tutor. You will not be disappointed.

Very helpful tutor

Rosanne N. was extremely helpful in getting me through my first ASL course. Rosanne was very patient with me and explained things in a way that made it easy for me to understand. I never would have passed this course without her help. She is quick to respond to email and flexible with tutor times. I would highly recommend Rosanne if you need help with ASL.
