Hi. My name is Yair! I am a hard-of-hearing male who is looking to tutor clients in ASL [American Sign Language]. I learned sign language in a deaf school. I am a graduate from the University of Arizona with a Bachelor's degree in Deaf Studies with a minor in Leadership. I have known ASL now for more than 15 years.

I teach 2 hours session(s) to ensure that you, the student, will not only learn the new information but also to ensure that, through practice, you will be able to retain the information for future use. I use well thought out lesson plans to ensure that the process is both efficient and fun - rather than just teaching the information by rote. I have taught students American Sign Language with this method of teaching and my students have gotten the best results in their education courses relating to American Sign Language.

I also include teaching information regarding Deaf culture, important bits of Deaf history, relevant laws that have been passed as well as local, national, and globally-related events. If you are local, I can also accompany my students to Deaf events to allow the student to participate as they become more comfortable in ASL and Deaf culture.

It is important to me to provide my students with all the resources they need to learn American Sign Language and to do well in their classes in American Sign Language. I am easy to get a hold of and will answer any questions you may have, and I will look forward to be working with you!

He was great to work with and look forward to further lessons. Meets the student where they are at and puts them at ease. Very observant and provides useful feed back.

Awesome teacher! Very fun and easy to learn!

My experience with Yair was super awesome. He's such a fun and down to earth teacher who really loves helping and seeing his students learn and understand new concepts. He's very patient and funny and makes learning fun. He's also very knowledgeable and answers any questions you have, not only about the language itself but about the def community and so much more.I'm so happy to have found him as a teacher! 👍🏻🎉😄

Very knowledgeable and patient tutor

Yair is awesome! Extremely knowledgeable about ASL and even more patient. He was able to answer all the questions I had asked over our tutor session and there were quite a lot. In the span of one hour, I felt like we covered a significant amount of content and will definitely go back to Yair for any other ASL questions.

Excellent, Knowledgeable Tutor

He was awesome, very knowledgeable and patient, will continue with him weekly. Had the material ready and went over until I was comfortable to move forward. He was very focused on me learning the material.

Flinda, 1 lesson with Yair

Patient fantastic and knowledgeable

Yair takes the time to organize, go over everything he teaches and to make references to help you remember different signs. He even takes the time to show you past signs so should you encounter them you will understand. You won't go wrong with this tutor!!

Sherry, 1 lesson with Yair

Knowledgeable and thorough.

Yair taught my daughter (and me!) several beginning signs and how to sign in sentences. I was pleased with how knowledgeable, thorough, and most of all FRIENDLY he was! My daughter is so excited to learn with him again.
