Hey there, I’m Michelle!
I've been signing American Sign Language since I was 8 years old.
I love ASL. I love the Deaf Community and Deaf Culture.
I love to see the impact that learning ASL has on the lives of children, adults, and families.
I believe that anyone can learn ASL and that there is more than one way to learn any language. It's my mission to help more people learn, not just to sign, but to really communicate and connect with ASL, and I want to help you experience the joy that signing can bring into your life.
I create ASL courses that support multi-sensory language learners and help people of all ages to communicate with their friends, children, and members of the Deaf community.
What our Students are Saying...
"Before I would gaze in amazement when I saw someone signing and see how beautiful it looked, wondering what they were saying. Now that I have taken the course and learned the basics, I have a better understanding of it."
Helen O'Connell
"As someone experiencing hearing loss, I have gained confidence from this course. I feel more secure about my ability to communicate. Start now!
It's a wonderful course that you can
fit into your life easily."
Kristy R.
"Stellar ASL was more than just learning vocabulary, I actually learned to have real conversations. We also learned sign variations so we can understand different signing styles. Office hours and video feedback for homework were invaluable! They gave me the confidence to make mistakes (without fear of judgment) and try new signs, rather than playing it safe. Definitely feel it helped expand my vocab."
Yari A.
"Easy to follow lessons built in small pieces that allow for frequent practice sessions. She creates building blocks but incorporates spur of the moment lessons during live courses. And all the lessons and recorded classes are yours to keep and review! She cares about her students being able to communicate within the deaf culture--even if we're not deaf! Will definitely continue my ASL learning path with Michelle!"
Stephanie A.
"Loved the finger spelling pdf. Nice to have a list of letter combinations to practice already created. Also enjoyed that the videos give a lot of information that is helpful to someone first starting out but was not too dry that someone with some knowledge isn’t bored."
Isis
"Take it you will love it ! The teacher is awesome. I learned the correct placement of fingers, not squeezing them together as I was shown prior to seeing this course. It was learning and seeing the L to Y combination but I will practice doing it."
M.
"Quick to respond to questions. Personable."

ASL Online: How to Choose the Best Learning Path for You
Introduction:
Embarking on a journey to learn American Sign Language (ASL) can be an exciting experience, but finding the right course to guide you on this path can also be an overwhelming task. With more and more options available, how do you know which one is right for you? We're here to help you sift through the choices and spotlight the key features of an outstanding online ASL course.
1. Understanding The Challenge-Comfort Balance in Learning
Language learning is a delicate balancing act between pushing your boundaries and retaining your comfort. A course that's too simplistic can lead to boredom and lack of progress. On the opposite end, an overly complicated class can create feelings of frustration and overwhelm. The key is to find a course that operates on the Goldilocks Principle - it's 'just right' for you. Here are some things to look for:
A leveling system: The best courses have a clear progression, guiding you from beginner levels to advanced stages. You should always feel slightly challenged, but never overwhelmed.
Adaptive content: Ideal online classes adapt to your progress, offering more complex content as your skills improve. This keeps you engaged and prevents you from getting stuck at one level of skill.
2. Building Skills: Gaining Confidence Bit by Bit
Language learning isn't about the memorization of words and phrases. It's about acquiring a set of skills that you can apply in real-world conversations. The best online ASL courses understand this and structure their content to teach you language skills bit-by-bit, in a conversational way. Why is this important?
Understanding in real-life: Learning with a focus on conversation helps you see how signs are actually used in everyday life.
Confidence building: Using signs in meaningful sentences boosts your confidence, preparing you for actual conversations with the Deaf community.
3. Replay, Review, Repeat: The Advantage of On-Demand Content
One of the key benefits of online learning is its flexibility, which extends to the ability to review content at your own pace. The course you choose should provide you with easy access to revisit lessons whenever you need a refresher. This is crucial because:
Repetition aids memory: The more you revisit a lesson, the better you remember the information. It's an essential part of the learning process.
Flexibility improves learning: The ability to pause, rewind, and replay lessons allows you to fully grasp the nuances of ASL, something that is harder to do in a live, in-person class.
4. Community Matters: The Value of Group Practice
Learning a new language can sometimes feel like a solitary journey, especially when you're studying online. However, the best online ASL courses understand the power of community and offer plenty of opportunities for group practice. Here's why this matters:
Exposure to diversity: Chatting with others exposes you to different signing styles, increasing your comprehension skills.
Peer support: A supportive community can provide encouragement, share resources, and make the learning experience more enjoyable.
5. Personal Touch: The Importance of Teacher Feedback
Self-paced courses offer great flexibility, but they can sometimes leave you questioning the correctness of your signing. The ideal online ASL class strikes a balance between self-study and teacher interaction, offering opportunities for personalized feedback. This is essential because:
Error correction: Early correction of mistakes prevents them from becoming bad habits.
Progress tracking: Regular feedback helps you understand your progress and identify areas for improvement.
In Summary
Choosing the right online ASL course is a critical step on your language learning journey. It's about more than just convenient access to lessons. It's about finding a comprehensive, carefully designed program that walks you through the learning process, supports you in overcoming challenges, and celebrates your milestones. It's about joining a community that shares your passion and commitment.
In-person classes might provide the immediate feedback and direct interaction you may be longing for, but remember that quality online ASL classes can offer the same benefits and more. They offer flexibility to review lessons, the chance to learn at your pace, and opportunities for one-on-one feedback. Plus, the right online ASL course will provide a vibrant, engaging community to learn from and grow with, even from the comfort of your home.
In essence, the best online ASL class is one that combines the strengths of traditional classroom instruction with the convenience and flexibility of online learning. It meets you where you are, both in skill level and lifestyle needs, and guides you toward becoming a confident, fluent ASL signer.
As you embark on this journey, remember that learning ASL is more than just mastering a new language. It's about opening up to a rich, vibrant culture and community. It's about expanding your world and deepening your connections. It's about transformation, and the right online ASL course will be your partner on this transformative journey.
