Ms. Annmarie - With over 15 years of experience as an ASL educator, including ten years working directly within the Deaf community, I bring a wealth of expertise to this class. In addition to teaching ASL at various preschools and private kindergartens in my local area, I also lead a music and movement program. I have firsthand experience using signs to communicate with my daughter, who is hard of hearing and also an Outschool teacher.
My teaching philosophy centers around creating a fun and engaging learning environment that fosters a genuine desire to continue learning. It is important to note that this class strictly adheres to a professional code of ethics, and no sensitive information or high-risk topics are covered. Rest assured; our focus is on providing an enjoyable educational experience that inspires a lifelong love for ASL.
Ms. Nicole - As a hard-of-hearing individual and teacher, I love sharing the language that I have been learning and growing my knowledge on for the 20 years. For American Sign Language I had been taught the language by my mom (Ms. Annmarie), Deaf individuals, and taken multiple classes at the High School and University Levels.
During my time in University, I studied Communication Studies and Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts along with minoring in a bunch of different things to make me a well-rounded educator and peer to all learners.Reviews
