This class is taught in American Sign Language.
  • Learn the glossing process, which involves writing ASL signs in a structured format to understand sentence construction better.
  • Improve fingerspelling skills and expand ASL vocabulary.
  • Study ASL sentence structure, using proper grammar and syntax to form clear and accurate sentences.
  • Practice everyday conversations, ensuring learners can communicate effectively in various scenarios.
  • Gain insights into Deaf culture and community, fostering a deeper appreciation and respect for ASL and its users.
With more than 15 years of experience in teaching American Sign Language, including a decade of working within the Deaf community, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table. In addition, I run a thriving music and movement program in my local area, providing ASL instruction to preschools and private kindergartens nearby.

My experience with a hard-of-hearing child has honed my skills as an Outschool teacher, allowing me to bring a unique perspective to the classroom. As an educator, I prioritize creating a fun, engaging learning environment that inspires and motivates students to continue learning.

Please note that I adhere to strict confidentiality guidelines and never disclose sensitive information or engage in high-risk topics during my classes.
