Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a state certified teacher with an ESL endorsement and nearly a decade of experience teaching ASL to young learners. I have studied Sign Language Interpreting at Oakland Community College in Michigan and went on the further my studies at St. Clair College in Windsor. I also grew up with a deaf neighbor and through our friendship developed skills and a love for American Sign Language. I have always been fascinated with the story of Helen Keller and have always wanted to communicate with others who live in a silent world. Please feel free to enroll in my Helen Keller class to further intrigue your learner to understand my fascination with being able to communicate without words.Reviews
