Certified Tutor

Deaf since birth, my teaching and tutoring philosophy introduce various aspects of American Sign Language (also known as ASL) that keeps learning simple, accessible, and enjoyable. By teaching/tutoring in a way that is accessible and culturally relevant, the process of teaching in ASL enables the student's easy development of signing skills.
Learning ASL in this way empowers
and encourages students to develop confidence while building bridges between Deaf culture and expands the students' appreciation of blended cultures and languages in a supportive and positive environment.

A Philosophical World View of Sign Language By Dr. Karen Bregman, D. Min My teaching philosophy is to write and sign simple thoughts that can be easily transformed into simple American Sign Language and complex idioms. Over time, students learn to mentally and visually put together thoughts, emotions, feelings and be understood. Each international country, the student learns to discern each location’s country, language, Deaf culture, and distinctive heritage. When the brain lack a missing function, communication is affected, albeit our sentence(s) reflect our inability to comprehend a Deaf person’s linguistic thoughts. Our words convey simple and complex thoughts that can be enjoyable to use for accessible, streamlined, precise expression, greater meanings, perspectives, and help them feel becomes whole. As a Teacher, I’m interested in expressing only signs, then we gain more understanding of the individual’s thought, expression of perceptive students’ thoughts with greater enjoyment, a sense of collaboration with their varied peers and develop greater personal confidence. The individual is learning to be accessible and relevant. This teaching method, combined with ASL enable the student’s development of expressive and perceptive signing skills to be easily learned within a supportive environment and encouragement. Learning the language of American Sign Language, also known as ASL, is empowering for the Deaf; Deaf people in the USA inspire Deaf people from other countries to give and receive empowerment within their respective sign language. As we support and encourage one another, Deaf people recognize their respective and unique heritage, share one another's sign language and culture. This confidence leads to overall confidence, embracing their respective, distinctive languages and unique heritage within a Deaf worldview.
