About

[4.95 rating over 250 reviews from another lesson platform]

Hello everyone! My name is Victoria and I am looking forward to having you join me in the ASL classroom! I have a degree in the field of Sign Language Interpreting, something very dear to me. I have worked with Deaf students from elementary to college levels. I've had the joy of teaching ASL to students with multiple disabilities from the ages of 3-8 and working with so many people with all different circumstances and backgrounds. Interpreting has taken me to many different fun and exciting assignments including medical appointments and hospital visits, classrooms, awards assemblies, job interviews and much more.

Teaching, though, has allowed to me to experience a whole new love of Sign Language because I am able to help others not only learn fluent and correct ASL, but teach them about Deaf culture! I have had experience teaching ASL for 7 years now and absolutely love my work.

Victoria is a top notch teacher. She is extremely thorough and strives to use every single second during your time with her to accurately help you learn ASL. She is clear and precise. She has well thought out lesson plans and provides great direction. I have tried other teachers and methods to learn ASL and Victoria is by far the best!! I'm so happy we found her. I feel so much more confident about my ASL learning journey with her as my teacher and guide.

I've been taking sign language lessons with Victoria since last year, and it has been a truly rewarding experience. As someone who isn't learning sign language for professional reasons, but rather for personal enjoyment and self-care, I've found her teaching style to be perfectly suited to my needs. Despite my slow pace and limited practice time due to life's demands, Victoria has shown incredible patience and understanding. She is adept at helping me through my struggles, always allowing me to progress at my own pace. This approach has been invaluable, especially as I've grappled with my perfectionist tendencies and the frustration of not meeting my own expectations. Her support has made a significant difference, helping me to enjoy the learning process and to view it as an integral part of my self-care routine. Overall, her patience, adaptability, and encouraging demeanor have greatly enhanced my journey in learning sign language. I'm grateful to have her as my tutor and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn sign language in a nurturing and pressure-free environment.

Sometimes fingerspelling the word with the plural English ending for the word is another way to pluralize for clarity, especially signs over the body that indicate a role or title: "King (ASL sign of a K from shoulder to opposite hip as a sash) of Kings (fingerspell kings). That is done similarly when a sign has two meanings such as "He found gold (ASL sign for gold) in California (fingerspell Calif).

Victoria is phenomenal! I believe her college professors would be truly proud, or perhaps envious, of her skill level. She loves teaching ASL and it shows. She has immersed herself in the very secluded deaf community and returned to share her respect, knowledge, and abilities with her students. ASL is a visual language with so many nuances, and the grammar is very different from English (which is my weakness- rearranging my grammar in my head, and then translating from spoken words to signs and mouth morphemes), but Victoria is kind and patient. She offers helpful explanations and fun mnemonics which make learning easy and even natural. She allows you to set your own learning goals and pace, so that you can achieve them without pressure/stress. I think we all wish our foreign language teachers in HS were not only this capable, but rather proficient. Aside from reading reviews, I recommend watching some of the posted teaching videos, of multiple teachers that you are considering. Everyone has different learning styles, and not all teachers can adjust. I am very happy that I found Victoria. I myself, am a volunteer online facilitator (for an organization that works and advocates for Special Needs individuals) and I hope that I can provide as positive an impact as Victoria has done for my journey into deaf culture.

I started taking private ASL classes with Victoria 2.5 years ago so I could better communicate with a Deaf friend. Victoria keeps the classes fun, engaging, and informative. I've learned so much! Victoria is a patient and encouraging teacher, and is always happy to explain things again if I forget or need further clarification. Her warm and friendly teaching style has created a really comfortable learning environment for me so I always look forward to classes! My friend and I are able to communicate easily in ASL. We've done several overnight trips together where we're signing constantly. Even her family were surprised that I've only been learning for a couple years because I could sign with them too. I know I have a way to go before I'll be fluent but I've established a really strong foundation in ASL and feel comfortable interacting with Deaf people in their native language. I highly recommend taking classes with Victoria. You'll get a knowledgeable, friendly, flexible, and dedicated teacher who will make learning really enjoyable but also effective!

I had a difficult time deciding on a teacher in the past on here because of early reviews people had after only one lesson. I decided to wait until I took all 10 of my one hour lessons with Victoria to give my insight. It has been a great experience me, and whether you are a little experienced with Deaf culture and sign language, or know absolutely nothing, I know you will benefit from taking classes with Victoria. I have felt my confidence communicating with Deaf people increase and I can feel that I am getting better each week. It has been great being able to go at (what I consider) a fast pace and not having to go at the slower pace of a large class, while still getting the attention to detail and ensuring that I am understanding and following the correct grammar and signs. I recommend that, while you take classes, you practice and put in work outside of that time so you can benefit even more from her lessons. I'm already looking forward to the next 10 lessons and hopefully more!

After the first session with Victoria, my daughter was much more confident about her ASL homework assignments and her signing abilities. She often felt that the teacher in her class would be frustrated or annoyed when she asks her to sign more slowly. The teacher would sign too fast for her to understand and she felt lost. Victoria reassured my daughter that she was doing fine and that it is hard for any beginner to learn in a “voice off” class. Victoria was patient, supportive and knowledgeable. We look forward to future sessions!

Victoria really helped my daughter feel more confident and positive about learning ASL after one session. She helped to reinforce signs that aren’t clearly presented in class. My daughter often feels that her teacher gets annoyed when she asks her to sign more slowly and felt embarrassed in class. Victoria is able to identify how to help my daughter and does so in an encouraging and uplifting way! My daughter feels more positive about learning ASL, now. We look forward to future sessions.

Quite a beginner with ASL. I have tried other classes and immersion to start out learning and usually walked away frustrated and kind of embarrassed.

She breaks the information down into small groups and we review the information often during the class period so we have a better chance of remembering it.

I have taken a few ****** classes (covering vocabulary relating to holidays, months, animals, and weather) with Victoria and have enjoyed them immensely. I have learned a great deal. In particular, I found it very helpful how she encourages the students to put the vocabulary/topics covered in the lessons into practice at the end of the classes. Having the students communicate with one another, using the vocabulary/topics that have been introduced, is an excellent way to reinforce what has been covered during the lessons.

My daughter is 6 and has been interested in taking sign language class for a while. After her trial session she was very excited to learn. The 1st lesson was good. My daughter wasn’t as focused initially, however, Victoria was patient and was able to get her back on task easily. We can’t wait for the next class!

I wanted to learn ASL to help me talk to patients in medical emergencies. I had no previous knowledge of ASL, and by the end of my first lesson, I was already learning practical phrases that I could use during my day. Victoria is GREAT at mixing general knowledge and signs and focusing on what I specifically need to learn for work! She has experience with medical interpreting and it's exactly what I needed.

Teaching Style

In my years of expereince, I have learned that each student is different and so too the pace in which they must be taught. There are also some aspects of learning this language that are just difficult like the grammar and sentence structure, and additional concepts that don't exist in English. 

While I am completely flexible to your needs and wants, generally speaking I enjoy working in units of vocabulary that help you to progress through every level of ASL. In each unit we have vocabulary, yes, but we take time to learn concepts related to those words and how those signs are used. Then we use them! We work on sentences that you sign. After, we work on receptive skills, sentences where I sign and we see how well you are able to understand. Lastly, we work on conversation practice. All of this happens from unit 1 so you can expect to be able to sign complete sentences and have brief conversations right off the bat.

Of course, I also tutor for those who are taking classes and need extra assitance. Those lessons will be totally catered to you and your needs.
