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.
American Sign Language // one on one
Eight weeks of private video coaching with Storm Myers, an EIPA 4.7 educational interpreter with ten years in K-12 classrooms.
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
Fixed start and end date. Sessions run weekly and are not banked for later.
45 minutes of live one on one video instruction, every week for eight weeks.
Twice a week you record 60 seconds of signing and I send back a recorded correction.
A specific assignment after every session, sized to be done in fifteen minutes a day.
Recorded in week four and week eight, so you can watch the difference instead of guessing at it.
Three assignments that put you in real Deaf spaces, with a list of local and online options.
All sessions happen live on Zoom. You need a camera, decent light, and a plain wall behind you.
Who this is for
You have a Deaf or hard of hearing child, grandchild, or partner, and you want to talk with them rather than around them.
You have a Deaf student in your room and the interpreter is doing all the talking. I spent ten years watching that happen.
Deaf patients and customers come through your door and you want to handle the first two minutes yourself.
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
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.
Not ready to pay yet?
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.
