Woodbridge American Sign Language Tutoring FAQ
General education requirements at both the high school and undergraduate levels often require students to master another language. For those who choose to pursue American Sign Language over the course of their studies, the unique nature of the subject may prove difficult. While many languages require students to master a new written system of communication, using foreign letters and characters, ASL requires students to become adept in a new form of visual communication. Adapting to the use of movement in place of verbal cues is a process that simply cannot be conveyed through a book, and impersonal online tutorials fail to provide useful interaction. For those wishing to improve their skills outside of the classroom, American Sign Language tutoring may be the best option. Varsity Tutors can help you connect with ASL tutors throughout the country, helping you build the knowledge to be successful in this challenging language.
While American Sign Language is, inherently, not foreign, it still bears many of the characteristics of languages outside of English. While some foreign studies highlight the use of different emphases and intonations, American Sign Language demands a focus on gesticulation and facial expression. Integrating your understanding of spoken English vocabulary, ASL phrases, and expressive behaviors can pose a challenge to becoming fluent in the language. The only truly effective way to master the dynamic aspects of American Sign Language is through interpersonal engagement, and private ASL tutoring can provide this.
Each tutoring session offers one-on-one interaction, meaning that your tutor can focus on improving your mastery of every aspect of the language. The personalized environment gives you the opportunity to receive immediate relevant feedback during your studies, and provides you with a partner with whom you can practice your developing skills. American Sign Language tutoring allows you to develop new vocabulary and exercise your communication skills. By regularly communicating and interacting with your tutor during lessons, you can easily begin to build the muscle memory necessary to become fluent in American Sign Language.
If you are falling behind in your ASL course, a private tutor is an excellent option because they can spend as much time with you as you need to work through any concepts you are having difficulties with. Your teacher likely doesn't have the time to slow down, especially when there is only one or a few students who are having trouble. A private tutor can be very beneficial, because they can give you the type of individualized attention you need to excel.
Varsity Tutors can help you connect with many talented instructors nationwide who can provide convenient and flexible lessons. Your tutor will work around your schedule, allowing you to choose meeting times and locations. Your lessons can even occur online, if you prefer. Varsity Tutors' live learning platform enables you to meet with your private tutor face-to-face online. This provides you with a lot of convenience and flexibility because it allows you to decide exactly when and where you would like to meet your tutor. So whether you feel most comfortable studying in your own home, at a local library, outdoors, or in your favorite restaurant or café, your private tutor is willing and able to meet you there.
When you contact Varsity Tutors, we will work to understand your particular learning style and familiarity with American Sign Language in order to help you connect with the right tutor to fit your unique needs. Whether you are learning the language for fun, as part of your academic requirements, or out of necessity, a tutor can help. Get in touch with our educational directors for more information about connecting with an ASL tutor in your area.

Recent Woodbridge American Sign Language Tutoring Session Notes
The student and I worked on his study guide for his Mandarin test tomorrow. We were able to go through the whole thing with very little problem. He knows the material very well, and his speaking skill is excellent. We did get a chance to focus on pinyin as well, and help clear up some confusion for him. For a beginning student, he is doing great; we just need to continue to work on pinyin and distinguishing specific sounds.
Last week I assigned the student homework with ten questions. This week I checked her homework and she got everything right. Also, I asked to her to count 1-10 in Chinese and read all the Pinyins I've taught and she had no problem doing it. Also, when I asked her to translate animal words and other things to me, she had no problem with it. I was impressed.
We spent more time reviewing lessons 1, 2 and 3 to make sure the student had a good grasp of that content before moving on. I gave him translations from English to Chinese and vice versa, and we worked on pronunciation a little bit.
The student is a very good student who likes to ask questions. The student and I reviewed the material from previous lessons and discussed new materials for two lessons. The student also did completed practice problems for the new lessons.
Reviewed counting, days of the week, month , year. Had him translate some conversations into Japanese. Practiced the first 35 hiragana by writing them to reinforce learned vocabulary.
Today we started with a conversation about school, the weather, clothes, and food. We then segued into talking about leisure activities and things she likes and doesn't like to do. The student is continuing to show great improvement in her ability to hold a conversation without resorting to speaking. Her vocabulary is increasing which assists her in being able to talk about a wide variety of subjects. I did a lot of fingerspelling and gesturing to show her new signs today, instead of speaking the word, and she did well with picking them up.
