Experienced educator with 10 years of practice in the language and 7 years of tutoring. Comfortable meeting with ages 4 and up, as well as deaf or hard of hearing individuals. There are many different reasons for people to learn this beautiful language. I have met with individuals who are late deafened, non-verbal, parents of deaf children, children who have been diagnosed with selective mutism, and others who want to become fluent at a conversational level. Each lesson is tailored to the goals and needs of each client. When you sign up with me you also gain access to a personal resource library where I have a multitude of resources for vocabulary, grammar, Deaf Culture, assistive hearing devices, and much more that you can view at your own leisure.

About Chelsy K.

4.8

(70)

I started my own American Sign Language journey in 2012 where I found a passion for the language and the culture. Since then I have been studying, tutoring, and using the language in several different avenues of my life. During my lessons I incorporate the history of this language and information about Deaf Culture to ensure my students have a well rounded knowledge on the subject. I hold a Certificate in American Sign Language Interpreting, and completed a degree in ASL and Deaf Studies. I'm educated on the history of the language, linguistics and discourse, Deaf culture, and have beginner interpreter training experience. My goal is to not simply earn a living, but to live a meaningful life. Whatever your reason for wanting to learn I will be there every step of the way as you begin your Sign Language journey. Come sign with me! ***Please note - at this time I have very limited evening availability. Before signing up please check the calendar first, or reach out to me directly with a day/time you are looking for***
