Greetings, my name is Monique'. I have been interpreting since 2010. I did not have a background in sign language nor Deaf culture prior to enrolling in a Bachelor of Science in Education; ASL Interpreting degree program. Since then I have learned a lot and accomplished many milestones along the way including earning Top ASL Interpreting degree program student at Valdosta State University, graduating Summa Cum Laude, obtaining and maintaining certifications and continuing to learn by regularly attending professional development opportunities.
I enjoy tutoring because I can relate to most of my tutees; because I am a NERDA (Not Even Related to a Deaf Adult). I learned a new, complicated, yet enchanting language as a young adult. As a matter of fact, I did not know anything besides the alphabet prior to enrolling in the program. As a result, I dealt with and overcame many obstacles, but learned and developed amazing coping and learning strategies. I look forward to sharing some of my tips, experiences and knowledge with others.

I have earned the following certifications: BEI, EIPA and SSP. I have also passed the NIC Written.

Trained on various sign systems including, but not limited to: ASL, SEE, PSE, Transliteration, CASE, Rochester Method, cued speech, etc.

I look forward to helping you achieve your goals of learning and excelling in sign language!

Great 1st experience!

This was my first time using Wyzant and Monique was my first choice in helping me improve my conversational skills in ASL. She was so kind, relatable, and informative before, during and even after our session. I had made her aware that before entering my current interpreter training program, that I did had signed for several years prior and was a little rusty and to please be patient with me as I relearn some of the foundations. She exceeded my expectations and was incredibly patient with me. I would most definitely recommend Monique with the highest regard. You won’t regret choosing her.

Hi Rebecca, thank you so much for the review. I try to make my students as comfortable as possible, as I know learning and practicing ASL can be intimidating and stressful. It was a pleasure working with you and I wish you the best!

Like a teacher!

Monique is professional and serious about educating in ASL. She touched points in every aspect of ASL to see where my strong points and weak points were. She analyzed my receptive skills and ability to translate ASL to English or vice-versa. She is a wonderful tutor.

Knowledgeable, patient and great teacher.

I am in my second week in tutoring with Monique and she has been wonderful. She is teaching me to sign and I am amazed and how her pointers have helped me pick up ASL at a very good pace. She breaks out a no voice section in every class so I am able to practice sign. Love her teaching method!
