I have been teaching American Sign Language for over 15 years. I worked in the Deaf community for ten years. I teach a music and movement program in my local area and teach American Sign language at different Preschools and private kindergartens in my local area. My daughter and I use signs to communicate as she is hard of hearing and an Outschool teacher. I aim to make learning fun so that learners want to keep learning.
