My name is Katharine. I am fourth-generation Deaf, which means everyone in my immediate family is Deaf. So, I grew up always having 100 percent accessibility to ASL. I have been teaching ASL and Deaf Culture at college, university and in high school over 35 years. I love animals and nature such hiking, camping, swimming, SUP and pickle ball. I have one black cat and I have one Deaf daughter. She graduated from Gallaudet University in 2022. she is currently English teacher at Maryland School for the Deaf in Frederick, Maryland. I am looking forward to meeting you!

I use a variety of teaching resources such as Signing Naturally Curriculum. I teach ASL with non manual signals, NMS. How are NMS used in ASL? NMS are grammatical and semantic features other than hands. They include mouth morphemes, eye gazes, face expressions and body shifting. NMS also are used to modify verbs, adjectives and other adverbs. Without NMS, the signs themselves can only rarely create a comprehensible construction in ASL. Best way to learn ASL and Deaf Culture is from Deaf teacher. I also teach Deaf Culture and history. No voice used when you learn ASL. I will teach you ASL quickly, so come and find out!

Ms. Katherine is great. I appreciate her patience with me. I'm looking forward to working with her again! 

Today was my first 30 minute ASL lesson with Katharine. There was no time wasted and it was a great first lesson. Katharine was patient and kind, and only used the comment box if I absolutely needed it. I look forward to next week. 

Very thorough and on task. Give's many ways of signing sentences.

Assessed our levels quickly. Very patient, friendly and knowledgeable. Able to ID areas that need most work.

Katy is professional, dedicated, personable, and caters to student's needs.

Katherine is amazing and so patient!! So excited to keep learning!!

I like how Kathy was able to pick up on signs I was unsure about. She was friendly and personable.

Katy is an amazing teacher and really meets you where you're at. I'm deaf and have been learning ASL for over 10 years and haven't ever progressed as fast as I have while learning with her. I'd recommend her to anyone who is serious about learning the language.

Amazing instructor! She uses an immersive method that leads you organically into ASL in a very natural way. Even as a complete beginner like me you will learn new signs so fluidly within the context of open discussion  with the instructor that it feels more like a friendly talk than a rigid lesson. That said she clearly has a well designed curriculum that rapidly leads to improved communication. I would 100% recommend to anyone.

Katy is great!  I’ve had three session so far and she’s always prepared with a lesson fit for my skill level (I’ve previously completed ASL 4 through Gallaudet online).  I find her signing clear and I appreciate how she shows me different ways to sign things (from a native signer’s perspective). I’d highly recommend her.

Quiz is given to a student for comprehension check.
