"Hello!

My name is Elizabeth, and I’m Deaf and a native signer of American Sign Language (ASL). ASL has been my primary language throughout my life, and I’m passionate about teaching it to others.

Learning sign language directly from a Deaf person provides a more authentic and immersive experience. I’ve been teaching ASL for over 10 years, including weekly sessions with hearing colleagues, and I’ve found that students learn best through direct interaction and hands-on practice.

I understand that some people may feel nervous about working with a Deaf tutor, especially if you're just starting and don’t know many signs. Please don’t worry — I am very patient, easy to communicate with, and committed to helping you feel comfortable and confident. I will guide you every step of the way.

I tailor each lesson to your learning style and goals. We can focus on specific vocabulary (like colors, sports, or everyday phrases), conversational practice, fingerspelling, or even advanced ASL comprehension. You can bring your own list of words or topics, or I can create a lesson plan for you.

Whether you're a complete beginner or an advanced signer looking to improve fluency, I’d love to work with you — or your child — and support your ASL journey.

I look forward to connecting with you!

Warm regards,

**Elizabeth**" less...
