"My name is GinaMaria, I have Bachelor's in Criminal Justice with Felician College and Master's in Counseling Psychology with Felician University. American Sign Language is my native language. I’m excited to guide you on your journey into American Sign Language (ASL) and Deaf culture. I bring over 13 of experience as an ASL instructor, Deaf Language Specialist, and advocate for language access in both educational and clinical settings. I’ve taught ASL at the college level, developed online courses, and worked directly with Deaf and hearing students of all backgrounds.

My teaching style is immersive, interactive, and student-focused. Whether you're brand new to ASL or looking to strengthen your skills, you’ll find a supportive, inclusive environment that encourages growth, cultural understanding, and real-world communication. Lessons are designed to be engaging and accessible, blending visual learning with structured feedback and hands-on practice.

I hold myself to the highest standards of professionalism and am committed to making your learning experience both meaningful and enjoyable. You can count on clear communication, timely feedback, and a safe space to learn and ask questions. I look forward to helping you build confidence in ASL and gain a deeper appreciation of the Deaf community.

Let’s get started!" less...
