About

I have been teaching and tutoring ASL for almost 10 years. I have my own degree in Sign Language Interpreting. Over the years, I have been able to work with students of many diverse backgrounds. I enjoy working with private or group sessions. I have successfully helped students as young as 3 years old as well as students older than 80 years. My curriculum is flexible and easy to access. I like helping students embrace such a beautiful language.

Vanessa has been really great with my daughter! My daughter has an intellectual disability and Vanessa has really made an impact and really connected with her! She makes the lessons easy to learn and I’ve heard Vanessa adjust questions so that my daughter can understand… that’s a priceless quality!!

Ms. Lara won me over with how courteous, and professional, and passionate she is about her work. She adapts her schedule to fit mine, is always on time for our class, and she is very patient when she teaches. I wish I had more instructors like her in my youth.
