    Dorothea is absolutely amazing. She connects with students right away and is able to bring a person's personality to life through her instruction in ASL. She goes above and beyond to help students and to show them how to do their best. She connected with my child immediately, helped her with her assignments, and spent time creating additional resources for my child to practice.
