Alisa
Certified, Effective, Experienced American Sign Language Teacher/Tutor
As a Deaf person, as well as being a teacher and tutor in American Sign Language (ASL) and for Deaf children for the past 15 years, I am aware of how a person knowing ASL can make a difference in my day as a Deaf person-whether that person is working in a restaurant, a store, a fellow student, or a coworker in the doctor's office I am going to. I was born Deaf and grew up in Southern California, but have taught and lived in Nevada and Texas, as well. I specialize in tutoring those who are ...

Alisa taught us in the first meeting how to engage with the Deaf Culture; that ASL is completely different and unrelated to the English language; and gave us hope that our dyslexic son had the ability to master his foreign language requirement in high school.

Alisa is not only proficient with ASL, she is an experienced educator. These skills combined, Alisa makes the perfect tutor for me, or anyone. She is organized and very patient. She has creative ideas to enhance the learning process. She is reliable and on time. I was very fortunate to have found Alisa and hope that we will be working together for a very long time!!

Alisa worked with my 12 year old daughter who raved all the way home about their time together. Alisa seemed to adjust her lesson plan to fit my daughter's skill level. We are so happy to find a great fit!

Alisa did a great job of assessing where I was at with sign while also keeping it very low key and fun. She has a lot of great tips for improving my signing. Overall, great first lesson!
Maureen U. from Loma Linda, CA
She was wonderfully expressive and extremely insightful, so she knew exactly what I should work on for future lessons. I feel like I got a lot of great conversational experience by watching and signing with her. She can tell a really captivating story and was very quick to clarify anything I didn't understand (and I'm NEW to ASL, so there's a LOT I don't understand). She introduced me to so many new signs. Thanks so much Alisa!
