Hello! I am a Deaf native ASL signer and a graduate of Gallaudet University with a Bachelor's degree in American Sign Language and a minor in Linguistics.

I have experience teaching and tutoring ASL in both classroom and one-on-one settings. I have taught middle school and high school ASL courses and worked with students of various ages and backgrounds. I also provide private tutoring for beginners, intermediate learners, college students, and individuals who want to improve their conversational ASL skills.

My teaching approach is engaging, structured, and tailored to each student's goals. I assess each student's current skill level and create lessons that focus on building confidence in vocabulary, fingerspelling, receptive and expressive skills, grammar, and Deaf culture. I use interactive activities, guided practice, and real-life communication to help students apply what they learn.

As a Deaf educator, I provide authentic language exposure and cultural perspectives that help students gain a deeper understanding of both American Sign Language and the Deaf community. Whether you are taking an ASL course, preparing for exams, learning for work, or simply interested in ASL, I am committed to helping you succeed.

Online tutoring is available nationwide through Zoom or Google Meet. I look forward to helping you achieve your ASL learning goals!

Sign Language

I received a bachelor's degree in American Sign Language and minor Linguistics. Also, I worked as a teacher assistant for an internship that helps me with confidence and uses teaching methods. In 2017, I was only working as a Cultural/Language Consultant for one month at the Actor Theatre of Louisville. I used to be acting at the theatre since I was a young girl. So, I am familiar with what sign language is and what facial expressions to match different roles in each character to act. I do have a few work experiences related to ASL teaching. I have been an ASL instructor and tutor for almost 8 months. I can teach with sign language levels of beginner, intermediate, and advanced for deaf and hearing with any age. I can do teaching, tutoring, and conversational; if you want to learn, practice, and don't understand from your class. I am willing to use remote in the zoom or google meet. Also, I tends to use lesson plans in which I usually introduce the topic in an enjoyment and resourceful way, then explicitly teach the material. I can give an assignment for practice that will develop your skill with sign language. I have always wanted to see the students succeed with their skill sign language and who really want to learn about American Sign Language and deaf culture; I will support them to motivation sign language and allow them to enjoy interacting with the deaf community and learn from deaf people in around. I have two options for one-on-one or group in the session --- only up to 5 students in the class. The session only one hour up to. Please let me know which you prefer the options. Also, please feel free to contact me about your concern and schedule a lesson. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Easy to work with

My ASL tutor was incredibly patient and understanding, especially when I was interrupted by my sick toddler during our sessions. She signed very clearly, explained concepts in a way that was easy to understand, and helped me work through the areas I was struggling with. Her encouragement and supportive teaching style made learning much less stressful. I really appreciate her help and would highly recommend her to anyone learning ASL.
