I come from a background of Film, Theatre and American Sign Language. For the past ten years I have been interpreting and tutoring at various colleges. I have a great love of the creative arts! I love tutoring and helping students find a way to improve their grades and confidence by encouraging an appreciation of learning and how to apply it to each subject. My favorite part of tutoring is watching students confidence grow when they see their accomplishments. I would like to see each student's session be an enjoyable learning experience.

I have been a American Sign Language Interpreter for over ten years. In that time I have tutored both hearing and Hard of Hearing students in ASL, ESL (Eng. as a second Language), Theatre, English, Art, and Math. I have also tutored actors when they needed to learn ASL for a role. I have tutored many HOH students in learning ASL and in learning ESL as well. I've tutored many students in English, Computer, Math and Art.

I started my career in television and worked for 25 years as a producer on various television shows. I have a vast knowledge of both Film and Television and can be a valuable asset in this area as I have an enormous amount of experience in both behind the camera knowledge and in front of the camera knowledge.

I am available Mon. - Fri. 8:00am - 4:00pm. and Sat./Sun. 10:00am - 3:00pm

My rate is $55 in person. I do offer discounted (per person) group rates. For Hard of Hearing no more than three in the group. Please contact me for details. I look forward to hearing from you and working with you!!

Film

For over twenty-five years I worked in the Entertainment Industry. I was a producer on various television series for the there major networks, NBC, ABC and CBS. I loved what I did and would love to tutor a student in this field of study. I have vast experience in the field of film and television and could be as asset as a tutor for someone needing extra learning assistance in this area.
Theater

Theater

I've been involved hands-on with Theatre from elementary school, middle school, high school, college and even to the point of producing a play several years ago in West Hollywood. I have extensive knowledge about Theatre and all it entails. As a tutor I use that experience to help you learn all the facets about play production and being on stage while making the process a fun one.

Very knowledgeable

Janet knows her stuff and works with the student to get the most out of every session. My son always feels better and more comfortable with the language after a session.

Great fit for my ADHD kid

Janet has been very punctual and great at making accommodations for my teen to learn and practice ASL and get the credit from the online course they're taking from BYU. Definitely our go-to for anything ASL-learning related for in person instruction in Los Angeles!

Really Clear, and thorough

I'm only one session in and I feel like I got a lot of information and a deeper cultural understanding of ASL. Janet is really patient, clear and worked towards my goal.

Lola, 1 lesson with Janet

Very knowledgable and easy to work with.

Janet helped breakdown and translate many of the key signs we needed to use with our son. She was very clear and offered ways in which we could remember them as well as sending the vocab list for us to work from. Very pleased.

Excellent ASL tutor!

Janet is an extremely knowledgeable, and personable instructor. She was authentically passionate about helping me improve my sign language skills, and encouraged me to pursue the language further. Weather you are a beginner or advanced ASL student, or simply interested in using the language for conversational purposes, Janet will guide you and motivate you towards your path. Simply the best!
