Introduction: My ASL experience includes working with Deaf students and staff at The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind and Interpreting studies at The University of North Florida. Now my main focus is teaching my own 3 children at home and my remote ASL students. Most of my ASL students are learning sign as a part of their high school or college degree requirements. I love introducing people to the Deaf Culture while they explore learning American Sign Language. Besides the cognitive benefit learning a second language, students of language become students of culture and ambassadors of inclusion. It is fun to see people discover new things about themselves through learning about others. I also enjoy being one of the tools people use to overcome a challenge!

Shannon helped me to not only understand the content of my ASL course for university in a deeper way, she also helped me understand myself in my relationship to signing. Shannon helped me feel comfortable and confident in myself and my individual learning process. She is helpful and attentive, as well as honest in her teaching process. Shannon keeps a line of communication open for asking questions and ensuring that I was participating in my constant practice. Sessions were challenging, inspiring, and informative. I would highly recommend Shannon to others and will continue another round of sessions.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer a flat rate per hour as well as a discount if the customer purchases a set number of hours ahead of time. I do not offer refunds for those who purchase a set number of lessons ahead of time, then decide they do not want to take advantage of the tutoring time they’ve purchased. If meeting locally, there may be an additional charge, which would be discussed and agreed upon ahead of time.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to meet my prospective clients over the phone or a video program such as Skype to clarify what the student’s goals are. This may take anywhere from 10-60 minutes and there is no charge for the consultation. Then I’ll email them a simple lesson plan to review so they can get an estimate of the amount of time/lessons they will minimally need to invest to attain their goals. I will also include my pricing structure and a list of my additional free services if the student has a Smartphone and is willing to download a free app.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I work with students and Deaf colleagues everyday in the Residential Program at The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind. My husband and I are also teaching our infant ASL at home!
