Here at Groovy Learning, we focus on learning while making it impactful to the outside world. We are a woman-owned and family-owned organization that wants to impact learners the most. Ms. Annmarie spearheaded a dynamic parent/child ASL program for seven years, using sign language to bridge familial communication. Concurrently, I've spent four years immersing preschool children in the ASL world, underscoring this visual dialect's versatility. Previously, Ms. Annmarie has taught at Outschool since 2020. From Ms. Annmarie, "My affinity for ASL spans two decades. I boast an Associate's Degree in ASL Interpretation and a Child Development Associate certification in Early Childhood Education. I spent 11 years in Florida at the renowned Deaf Literacy Center, crafting tailored ASL programs for learners from infants to adults." Ms. Nicole is hard of hearing and has personal, first-hand experience with the deaf community. She graduated from Colorado State University in 2022 with two bachelor's degrees in Communication Studies and Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts. Ms. Nicole has taught at Outschool since 2020. We have both been using ASL and studying the language for 20+ years. In our classes, we focus on learning and making it enjoyable for every learner who takes our classes. We offer all age groups and all types of classes. Ms. Annmarie focuses on the 3-10 age group, Ms. Nicole focuses on the 12-18 age group, and we jointly take on the 10-12 age group as that is a transitional age group from Ms. Annmarie to Ms. Nicole. Join me as we chart a transformative path in ASL, diving deep into its wonders. Ready to embark on this rewarding quest? Let's dive in!Reviews
