Michelle's own journey as a second-language ASL learner gives her a first-hand understanding of your needs as a hearing student.
You'll benefit from her experience as a certified teacher working in Deaf schools, and her specialized training in ASL/English Bilingual-Bicultural Education. Imagine finally learning ASL easily and quickly with a course that is the perfect fit for your multi-sensory needs!
And you won't have to do it alone or suffer through needless mistakes and frustration! Michelle and her team will be there to answer questions, provide tech support, host Office hours, and keep you accountable so you can make more progress than you ever thought possible.
"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!"

"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 t)he 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."

"Quick to respond to questions. Personable."

"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."
