Same meaning, different order. Vocabulary apps teach you words. The structure underneath them is where people stall out, and it is most of what we work on.

What you get

Eight weeks, one on one, over video.

Fixed start and end date. Sessions run weekly and are not banked for later.

  • Weekly session

    45 minutes of live one on one video instruction, every week for eight weeks.

  • Video feedback

    Twice a week you record 60 seconds of signing and I send back a recorded correction.

  • Practice plan

    A specific assignment after every session, sized to be done in fifteen minutes a day.

  • Assessments

    Recorded in week four and week eight, so you can watch the difference instead of guessing at it.

  • Community

    Three assignments that put you in real Deaf spaces, with a list of local and online options.

  • Delivery

    All sessions happen live on Zoom. You need a camera, decent light, and a plain wall behind you.

Who this is for

People with a reason.

Parents and family

You have a Deaf or hard of hearing child, grandchild, or partner, and you want to talk with them rather than around them.

Teachers and school staff

You have a Deaf student in your room and the interpreter is doing all the talking. I spent ten years watching that happen.

Healthcare and service work

Deaf patients and customers come through your door and you want to handle the first two minutes yourself.

People who tried already

You have done a year of apps and YouTube, you know a pile of signs, and you still cannot hold a conversation.

Who I am

I started at zero in a college classroom, same as you.

I learned ASL from nothing in a college class, kept going, and became an interpreter in 2016. Since then I have spent ten years in K-12 buildings as an EIPA certified educational interpreter, scored at 4.7, which sits above the level most states require to work in a classroom.

What I watched in those buildings, over and over, was hearing people who wanted to sign and never got anywhere. They had the apps and the flashcards and nobody who would tell them their sign was wrong, so they practiced the mistake for a year until it set. That correction is the thing I am actually offering.

ASL belongs to the Deaf community, and eight weeks with me is a start rather than an ending. Part of the program is putting you in Deaf spaces and pointing you toward Deaf teachers, because that is where the language keeps going after I am done.

What happens by week eight

An honest answer.

You will hold a five to ten minute conversation on familiar topics, fingerspell clearly enough to be understood, catch most fingerspelled words at a normal pace, and walk into a Deaf social without freezing up.

You will not be fluent. Nobody is fluent in eight weeks, in any language, and anyone selling you that is selling you something. What you will have is a working foundation and the habits that make the next year of practice count for something.

Tell me why you want to sign and what you have already tried. I'll tell you straight whether this is a fit. If it is not, I will point you somewhere that is.
