Beginner, IntermediateHi, my name is Alan. I am a college graduate who is deaf and fluent in ASL, but can also speak and lipread well. I have been teaching/tutoring ASL privately for 15+ years with individuals on a one-to-one basis or in a group setting at various locations around the Bay area. I have also been tutoring online for 9+ years. In addition, I had volunteered to teach a sign language class to a group of hearing students at a public library weekly for several years. I would love to help you learn ASL and interact with deaf people using the expressive and receptive skills that I have mastered throughout my life. I am a very patient teacher who would like to see you become successful in conversing in ASL. I am available to provide you with my tutoring service in the mornings, afternoons or evenings during the week. Please contact me if you are interested.

In my first lesson I've already learned so much! I've tried teaching myself ASL in the past, but still images aren't even close to a real-time teacher. He's super nice and makes it easy to learn. Thank you!!
Alan is patient, knowledgeable and generous with his time. The prepared lessons he sends in advance of the class are very helpful. My biggest surprise and challenge is that many of the signs I've been learning on the internet are outdated. Now I have to unlearn old signs and bad habits. That's the biggest advantage of having a live instructor. Not only do I get to practice, but I can stay current. I definitely plan to continue my lessons with Alan.
