American Sign Language

American Sign Language has been an important part of my life for over 20 years when my family learned ASL in order to teach my sister who has cerebral palsy so she could communicate. I have been a professional American Sign Language interpreter since 2008. I graduated from MacMurray College with a Bachelor's degree in American Sign Language Interpreting and from Walden University with a Master's degree in Education and Master's in Business Administration.

American Sign Language students can expect to gain the foundational skills for conversation. Students will also learn the history and culture surrounding the Deaf Community.

I teach students of all ages and experience levels. I can teach American Sign Language students the grammar and vocabulary necessary for communicating in American Sign Language. I also teach students learning interpreting skills focusing on American Sign Language interpreting.

As a nationally certified ASL interpreter, I am on the state registry of supreme court interpreters, and have worked as the Director of a Community Center for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing. I have taught ASL privately since 2009 and professionally since 2014.

I have taught students with all abilities, needs, and learning styles.

I look forward to meeting you and helping you to reach your goals.

The Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, Inc. (RID), a national membership organization, plays a leading role in advocating for excellence in the delivery of interpretation and transliteration services between people who use sign language and people who use spoken language. In collaboration with the Deaf community, RID supports our members and encourages the growth of the profession through the establishment of a national standard for qualified sign language interpreters and transliterators, ongoing professional development and adherence to a code of professional conduct.

To empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding through Lions clubs.

The National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation's premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students. More than just an honor roll, NHS serves to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since its beginning in 1921.

Lessons are customized and catered to the needs/goals of each student.

I have been communicating using American Sign Language for over 20 years. I have a bachelor's degree in American Sign Language interpreting. I have been an interpreter since 2008 and I am nationally certified through the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf. All ages welcome. Let's get started!

I love my lessons with Tanya! I have been taking lessons for 2 years now and thanks to Tanya I am able to go to Deaf events in my area and hold full conversations in ASL. In fact, the last event I went to, I was complimented on my vocabulary and signing skills. Tanya is the absolute best! 

Tayna is absolutely terrific. She is friendly and patient, and we are covering exactly what I want to learn. I am continuing lessons with her, with intention of becoming fluent is ASL. In addition, to the lessons she regularly adds other information such as documents and other websites that are very helpful. I am very grateful to her for her help and assistance, and she is very good at this. 

Tanya is a great instructor.  She is very thorough and knowledgeable.  She provided instruction to match my current signing level.  I would highly recommend Tanya.

Her style is straight forward and patient, and I am not only enjoying the lesson, but also learning exactly what I need to know. I will be taking additional lessons with her.

Tanya is an amazing teacher that has the skill and patience to teach you at ANY level you may be. I have trouble with communication at times so ASL has been a tremendous help to my family. We have fun in every session and have learned so much in just a short amount of time. It's amazing to actually understand AND be able to respond!

Tanya is an outstanding ASL instructor. She is very well organized, and very good at explaining signs (meaning and correct hand positions/facial expressions). She also adjusts her lessons according to the pace of her students. She offers clear instructions about homework and practice, and then she begins each lesson with a review of the content of the last one. My wife and I attended ASL classes with Tanya, and we were very happy with the amount we learned. We both highly recommend Tanya as an ASL instructor.

One of the scariest things in the world is being older and learning something from scratch. However, when one of my children began to experience hearing loss, I knew learning ASL was crucial as he continued to grow. Tanya is amazing. She's patient, especially when we may have to go back and review something I've already learned, and she doesn't just teach the "what" of ASL but the why and the respect this beautiful language deserves. I look forward to every lesson. I highly recommend taking lessons from her.

Tanya is a fantastic teacher and is incredibly patient and understanding. Even at the very beginning, when I did not know any signs at all, I felt supported and relaxed in our lessons. I absolutely recommend Tanya as a teacher!

Tanya is excellent at teaching sign.  She is highly knowledgeable, approachable, and patient when I mix up my “r”s and “t”s.  I highly recommend her to anyone.

Tanya is a great teacher who is very professional and knowledgeable in ASL. My daughter has been taking lessons with Tanya for almost a year and really enjoys her classes and has learned so much!

She was very kind and easy to work with. She provided not only an education in the actual language itself but also in the information surrounding American Sign Language and it’s difference from other countries. She gave me strategies to practice and help me keep learning even outside the classroom and classes were a lot of fun!

Tanya is a fantastic teacher! She was always so flexible, taking the time at the beggining of each lesson to answer any questions we had. ASL truly came alive for us under her tutorledge.
