Hey everyone,

0:03

my name is Tamara and I am an American Sign Language

0:08

tutor on Lesson Pal.

0:10

I specialize in coaching beginner learners of American Sign Language.

0:15

So if anyone who has ever had the desire to bridge the gap between sound and

0:20

silence, so that real meaningful conversations could have is,

0:24

is that something that you have the desire to do,

0:27

then I am the tutor for you. Typically, before the session,

0:32

I love to have a brief discussion with you about your level of skill.

0:37

Once that's completed, I know exactly where to begin. In our session,

0:41

I have experienced tutoring, a variety of ages,

0:46

some as young as 11 to SE to 76.

0:51

I have enjoyed each and every one of my experiences with these students.

0:56

I have also had the privilege of getting my associate's degree in,

1:02

in applied science, graduating from the I T P program,

1:06

which is an interpreting program at an accredited college. After graduation,

1:11

I have had the opportunity to work in the v r s field.

1:16

V r s stands for video relay service.

1:19

So it's a phone communication service just for the deaf and heart of hearing so

1:24

that they can have the opportunity to communicate with hearing people over the

1:29

phone lines using a sign language interpreter.

1:31

I've also have a interpreting certification that allows me to

1:37

interpret in the school settings. So it's really,

1:41

really exciting for me to be able to soon meet you

1:45

and um, to just get you started in my sessions.

1:50

And if you have any questions, ping please pinging me.

1:53

I do offer one-on-ones I offer courses. Anything you can think of,

1:59

I am here for you. Okay? So please feel free to reach out.

2:02

I am so excited to meet you very soon. Take care. Bye.
