Having more than thirty (30) years of experience serving in the areas of Mental Health, Recreation Therapy, Crisis Management, Behavior Management, Individual, Group, and Family Therapy, Conflict Resolution, Alzheimer's Program Planning, Addiction Therapy services - American Sign Language has been incorporated in the therapies to secure language accessibility for those who may be unable to communicate their basic needs and desires.
Having a clinical background empowers the skills of patience to work with all learners.

Being a member of the Deaf community offers opportunity to share information regarding Deaf events, sensitivities, idioms, and fun things to know, just to name a few.

Years of experience working with children and youth of all ages.

Professional experience also includes American Sign Language Interpreting Instruction & Deaf Ministry development- focusing on Religious Studies - learning how to interpret the Holy Writ for Deaf persons, is part of the curriculum.

Teaching ASL is a great passion for persons of all ages- babies to seniors.

Looking forward to working with you soon. We welcome all learners.

Sign Language

Students will have a face to face interaction with an instructor who is Hard-of-Hearing (HOH), and has been using American Sign Language as their primary method of communication. The Instructor is a skilled lip reader and uses voice to communicate with and in the hearing community. The student will gain personal insight into the life of one whom is HOH, the idioms, slangs, and language. The Instructor has offered ASL instruction for more than 30 + years for toddlers, to ensure better communication with parents until they learn how to vocally communicate, for interested children and youth, and for senior adults who have lost the capability to vocalize their needs. The sign language instruction that has been offered has been instrumental for persons who have had major illnesses or traumatic experiences causing them not to communicate verbally. The Instructors instruction has been in academic/educational, corporate, and religious settings. Students will learn about Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing (HOH) culture and the community, basic finger-spelling, vocabulary, grammatical non-manual signs, gesture exercises to develop ASL enhancement, basic ASL rules, emergency signs, and approximately 500-750 signs, numbers, all with the emphasis on clarity and accuracy. Students will also learn basic signing structure, and learn how to sign their favorite song(s). This course's goal is to secure communicative competence.

Extremely attentive

Dominique was a great tutor!! She made the process of learning sign language much easier. Extremely patient and encourages you to work hard, and pushes you to your limit. I strongly recommend her to anybody looking for a tutor in sign language.

Professional Tutor

Dominique is pretty much as good as you can expect a tutor to be. She kept in contact before the session, came on time, was prepared, was flexible as far as her lesson went, had knowledge on what to teach and when to teach it, provided information in a very clear and concise way, gave homework that was relevant and fun, and was also just a very nice person. She also followed up to find out how I did on my ASL test. I'd recommend her to anyone who really wants to learn ASL.
