Hi, there! My name is Tonya! I've been teaching American Sign Language since 2016 and have loved helping my students learn essential vocabulary and grammar needed to have meaningful conversations with Deaf and Hard of Hearing people. I have grown up and lived in Oklahoma for my entire life. I went to the University of Tulsa and earned a degree in Deaf Education in 2016. I'm have been told that I am a fun person to work with and my classroom is usually filled with lots of laughter! I am hoping that teaching lessons online can help more people to enjoy sign language so we can close the language barrier between the hearing and the Deaf.
Please don't hesitate to ask me questions on my profile! I look forward to meeting you and starting your journey with sign language today!

Write a ReviewTONYA RULZZZZZZZ!!!!
Couldn't ask for a better instructor!
Tonya was very welcoming and helpful! We accomplished so much in our first lesson. Definitely, recommend!
We learned colors today, as well as going over again the 5-parameters. Tonya is effective at teaching me sign, and I bet she would be for you too! I enjoy our classes very much.
This was awesome. I really enjoyed my first lesson, and this is amazing! Thank you.
My favorite teacher! She is very caring and works well with students.
Tonya is an excellent teacher! I've seen her interact with her students, and she is very personable and has a thorough knowledge of subject matter. Her passion for teaching is very evident, and students and parents alike are very thankful for her efforts. Book Tonya today--you'll be glad you did!
