TESTIMONIALS
"The Dash Of Deafness
workshop offered a lot of interaction and activity. There was a lot of info
about Deaf and HH culture, raising Deaf and hearing babies and the process
of becoming an interpreter. There was also some practical interaction using
sign, including practice conversations and fingerspelling games."
Dan, age 41, student in ASL VI at MCC, Flint, MI
"I have always been fascinated by sign language and wanted to know more. Because of financial reasons, my options were very limited. While searching for local sign language courses, I stumbled upon THIS website. I was immediately impressed by Michele's willingness to personally respond to any questions I had about her classes patiently and very personably. I enrolled in the Conversational Sign class. For the extent of the course, it was nothing less than the highlight of my week! Michele and Kenny's style of teaching is very warm, patient, and inviting. I had heard from many, many people that the most effective way to learn any sign language is to enroll in a class taught by the Deaf. It can sound a bit daunting, but trust me, with Michele as your teacher, it isn't at all scary. I can't stress enough, how much her patience and friendliness helped me to learn. I would recommend Michele and Kenny to anyone who wants to learn in an environment where you are more than just another face in the back of a classroom. They will give you personalized help. Oh! And Michele LOVES questions!"

"My daughter is 6 and showed a passion for the sign language she learned from her 1st grade teacher. While we had no experience with the hearing impaired, I found Deaf Expressions and decided to try private lessons for her. Michele is a patient and passionate teacher! My little one has learned so much in such a short time! I'm amazed at how quickly she could put together words and sentences! Michele has opened a new and fabulous 'silent' world to us! My daughter thinks she is great!"
Kerrie Falconer, Mother of student, Rockford, MI
"Deaf Expressions really opened my eyes to the incredible world of deaf culture. The Deaf Culture Workshop had it all: informative topics, fun activities, and friendly faces. Michele and Kenny do a great job at welcoming people from every background in exploration through workshops, classes, and tutoring."

"Working with Michele was fun and helped me increase my confidence with ASL. She is easy to work with and very encouraging for beginners!"

"The absolute luxury of being tutored one on one is by far the easiest and most efficient way to learn anything. Combine that with Michele's relaxed and patient teaching style - and you'll learn surprisingly quickly. As if that weren't enough - finding a personal tutor at this price is just one heck of a great deal! If you've always wanted to learn sign - this is the fun affordable way to go!!"
Sherryl, Tutoring and Conversational Sign Language student, Wyoming, MI
