About Angela A.
Angela graduated from the University of Florida with her B.A. in Communication Sciences & Disorders (Speech Language Pathology & Audiology). While at UF, Angela was a member of the Signing Gators Club and volunteered countless hours working with deaf, hard of hearing and special needs children and adults. She also took ASL I, II, III, and IV while in college as well as several classes after graduation. Angela is fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) and holds a proficiency rating of Advanced Plus on the Sign Language Proficiency Interview Rating Scale (SLPI), which is a scale for rating sign language communication skills that is based on highly skilled, knowledgeable native-like signers. In 2006, Angela moved to Georgia and began working at The Georgia School for the Deaf, GSD. She worked at GSD from 2007 to 2017 and held many positions there including Accountant, Assistant to the Principal, Office Manager, Speech Language Pathologist, Speech Language Pathologist Aide, ASL Interpreter and Fund Raising Coordinator. She helped to establish the Athletic Booster Club and the Mascot program as well. She also had the unique opportunity to attend an intense ASL Immersion Course at Gallaudet University in Washington, DC., the world’s only university in which all programs and services are specifically designed to accommodate deaf and hard of hearing students. She is an active volunteer at local schools, daycare centers, senior centers and community theaters, teaching ASL and deaf awareness and acceptance, as well as signs, to incorporate into theatrical performances to students, teachers and members of the community. Angela also is a technical advisor and ASL tutor for independent entertainment companies and works closely with actors and musicians to learn and correctly sign their lines in ASL for both on screen and live performances. For the past 15 years, Angela has offered private tutoring to deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing individuals in both English and ASL in West Georgia. Angela is the founder and C.E.O. of both I Love Learning ASL and Crest Pointe Entertainment Group, LLC. which specializes in the booking, management and promotions of live music. Angela resides in Villa Rica, GA with her husband, and together they are the real life "Brady Bunch," having six children between the two of them.

Angela made my first exposure to ASL fun and helpful. She’s a great teacher!

I love having Angela as my ASL teacher. She makes everyone feel welcome. She has a friendly easy going fun loving personality and makes the class fun.

Angela is a knowledgeable instructor, and it has been a pleasure learning ASL from her. She is flexible enough to meet individual needs no matter the student’s age or level. Her method works well as she combines teaching/lecturing, games, student-focused practice, and quizzes. She offers plenty of memory aids as she teaches, and she makes lessons fun and encouraging. Also, she provides thorough explanations to student questions, which shows her depth of knowledge in ASL. I highly recommend Angela!

Angela is a wonderful instructor. She is knowledgeable and brings years of experience to her lessons. As a student, I look forward to her classes which are fun and full of great information about Deaf culture as well as new vocabulary and grammar.

I've been taking classes with Angela for many months and I keep signing up for more because she's an phenomenal instructor! Her class is the perfect mix of new information and low-stress practice. She's a total expert who is also adept at explaining ASL to others, from new learners to advanced signers. Terrific teacher! Highly recommended!

I can not say enough wonderful thinking about Angela and her classes. I’ve always wanted to learn ASL and Angela had made that a reality in classes that were enjoyable and really helpful. Her use of memory aids and games when learning vocabulary really helps to make the signs stick. I’ve taken at least five classes with Angela and don’t plan to stop now!

Angela Ashworth is a very knowledgeable and motivating instructor. She paces her lessons by skills, topic, category or from student requests of need. Through a variety of reinforcement games, students have the opportunity to practice in a fun and inviting way, the vocabulary and or sentence structure of previous lessons. Repetition among all the signers in the class helps gain confidence as we learn from each other with Angela’s guidance. Best ASL class experience ever!

Angela is an excellent instructor. She is very knowledgable about ASL and the most up to date signs. She is patient with new learners and able to increase learning for those with experience. She presents her lessons in engaging ways, but always with patience. I highly recommend Angela as an ASL instructor.

Very patient and clear in her teaching ASL.
