Levels taught:
Beginner, Intermediate, AdvancedHi! I am a fluent ASL user. I have taught classes for both Deaf and Hearing children & adults for over 25 years, and even founded a Christian school for the Deaf! I've interpreted professionally in the community, at religious services, medical venues, and in higher education for 30 years, I have a strong knowledge of local signs and Deaf language tendencies. In addition to teaching basic ASL, I have taught groups and done individual mentoring for advanced ASL learners and ASL interpreting students. For Deaf learners, I offer individual online classes for writing and English skills, as well as lessons to help you understand documents and write resumes. I love making ASL fun to learn, but accessible to people who want to quickly get involved in communicating with the Deaf community.

My co-author and I have just had a book published about a young deaf boy, “I Talk With My Hands. We worked very hard to make it authentic to the deaf and fun for both hearing and deaf. With Cathy’s help, I am learning basic signs which will help me as we write book #2. I highly recommend Cathy. Very patient, fun, and an expert in ASL.
Cathy is a fun, enjoyable and very knowledgeable ASL teacher. I have been getting better week by week and is communicating with more ease with my deaf brother who is so excited about it.
She’s so patient, encouraging, and helpful! I am taking a sign language course in college and wanted extra help. She really helps me to understand things better and has helpful ways to remember signs. I would definitely recommend her!!
