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.

I also have been a loved of Ukulele since 2012 and been learning on my own. It's such a fun instrument to help learn and share music. I have a musical background from playing flute and saxophone all through high school and college. I can teach you how to read music and learn any song on the ukulele. It's all about having fun!

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 or Ukulele today!
