About Tanya H.

4.9
(67)
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.

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.
