Sign Language

I’m a professional ASL Interpreter and Linguist with over 17 years of experience in medical, educational, and community settings. I hold a B.S. from Cal Poly University, completed formal interpreter training, and continue to expand my expertise through ongoing education. I also work with VSL Labs, collaborating with Deaf linguists and engineers on emerging A.I. ASL technology. My background allows me to provide accurate, culturally grounded instruction in ASL grammar, vocabulary, Deaf culture, and real‑world communication. I help students build natural, visually clear signing skills rooted in Deaf‑centric language use, not English‑based signing.

Review

My daughter, Jazgul is really enjoying learning ASL with Rosanne. The online lesson is once a week for an hour. Rosanne is patient and encouraging as she teaches. She loves the time with her!

Hi Deanna, Thank you so much for such a sweet review. I'm so glad to hear that Jazgul is enjoying our ASL lessons. I truly enjoy our time working together. It’s wonderful to see her passion for ASL!

Knowledgable and patient tutor

Rosanne is an excellent ASL tutor! She is incredibly knowledgable and skilled in ASL, and working with her has helped me improve my signing and become more confident in my skills. She is patient, supportive, and great at explaining things in a way that is easy to understand. I've really enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their ASL!

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

Hi Sabrina, I truly appreciate your thoughtful review! It’s a joy to support your progress in ASL and to see you connect with the language and the Deaf community.

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.

Great with college age student studying sign language

Rosanne was patient and knowledgeable. She explained things and helped with assignments. She was always willing to find time with my crazy college schedule. I highly recommend her for ASL tutoring.

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.

Hi Jennifer, Thank you for your thoughtful review! I'm thrilled to hear that you found our sessions so beneficial. It was a pleasure to work with you and help you advance in your ASL skills.

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. Sincerely Reagan L.

I need to learn ASL to perform my job better, and Rosanne has been very flexible with the time I have available to help me get the most out of tutoring. She is so friendly and makes the learning experience very comfortable. Her tips and ways of helping you remember words and phrases are excellent!
