"Hi, I'm Ashley! I am a high school American Sign Language teacher with over 10 years of signing experience and am currently pursuing an interpreting certification. I absolutely love the language and the Deaf community and am always excited to see new students choosing to learn sign language to make our world a more inclusive place!

I graduated Cum Laude from UCSD with a Bachelors's degree in Media Arts and a minor in Language Studies with a focus on American Sign Language. I have been tutoring English for the past 8 years and ASL for 5 years, and throughout that time have worked with all kinds of students from young elementary to adults learning English as a second language, and have learned that every student learns differently, so I'm always excited to figure out how best to structure lessons or the way I explain material in order to help them to succeed!

I'm a very patient person, easy to talk to, and am always willing to go out of my way to provide extra help if needed. I teach and tutor because I love watching students gain confidence in a subject that they struggle with. Whether it's grasping a new element of material or moving up a reading level, I get just as excited as they do.

I want to benefit the students I work with as much as possible and therefore welcome any resources or suggestions that students or parents can provide. I am easy to reach and will always provide quick responses. Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions or to schedule a lesson!" less...
