About
With over a decade of Sign language experience, I hold a Bachelor's in Deaf Studies and a Master's in Special Education with an emphasis on Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) education. My proficiency in American Sign Language is validated by the ASLPI (American Sign Language Proficiency Interview), a standardized assessment measuring fluency in ASL. Through takelessons.com, I have successfully guided many students, as well as worked in a few school districts and I am dedicated to helping you master ASL with efficient and effective teaching methodology.

Marissa Held is an outstanding sign language instructor. As someone who was completely new to signing, I truly appreciated her patience, clarity, and ability to explain sign in a way that made learning both easy and enjoyable. Her flexibility with scheduling and her quick responses to any questions I had made the experience stress free. She played a crucial role in my success in my sign language course, and I’m grateful for her dedication and expertise. I would highly recommend her whether you’re a complete beginner or simply looking to refine your skills. She is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and genuinely invested in her students’ progress.

Sign with Confidence is an excellent company. I wanted to learn sign language so I could communicate with my grandson. Marissa is amazing at teaching how to sign. She is thorough and very knowledgeable. I will continue working with her as I am learning so much!

I have had a great experience working with Marissa in her Signing with Confidence lessons! She is always very patient and professional in our sessions, and I am learning so much about ASL. I would recommend her if you are looking to get started with sign, or even if you know some and are just looking to build up your skills!
