SIGN LANGUAGE TUTORING

PRIVATE TUTORING IS FOR YOU!

Our first meeting will give us a chance to see where you are in your abilities and decide on a lesson plan. We will discuss whether Conversational Sign would be better for your purposes or if American Sign Language would be your goal. Depending on that decision, we can discuss what will happen next.

COST OF TUTORING PER HOUR IS ONLY $20/person

If more than one person wants to tutor in the same hour, it's only $10 each additional student!

This can take place at our location or yours! If you live within 20 miles of Grand Rapids, there is no extra charge for us to come to you. More than 20 miles and there is a small travel fee. Most sessions are held at our location in SW Grand Rapids, off 131 and Burton, at the Wyoming Library on Michael, at the Seymour Library on Alger and Eastern or at the Home School Building on Burlingame in Wyoming (may charge for room rental). But, if none of those places work for you, let us know and we'll work out an alternative!

DONT DELAY.....CONTACT US TODAY!

 

Send us an email today to get you started on your way to signing! Just click on the picture below. Or TEXT us at 616-516-6314.

SIGN WITH YOUR BABY WORKSHOP

Click on the picture above to learn more about the Sign With Your Baby approach!

Babies can use their hands to "talk" long before they develop the fine motor skills needed for speech. Attend a one-hour general workshop on Baby Sign Language. Using American Sign Language signs, we teach you the best way to introduce new topics and signs for your baby or toddler. This workshop can be done with or without your little one present!

 


RELIGIOUS SIGN LANGUAGE WORKSHOP

Click on picture above for more information

As the Bible says, "Jesus is the Way the Truth, and the Light," and so is our responsibility as Christians to show all people what Jesus taught. To lead them to become saved and celebrate an awesome eternity in heaven.

But how do we show something so vital to a population of people who are deaf or hard of hearing?

The Religious Sign Language workshop was designed specifically for Christians to share their optimism and hope that others will come to know the Lord and celebrate salvation as they move forward. Contact us with any questions or to reserve a date. Contact information is below.


PROJECT EDUCATION:

CHRISTMAS IN SIGN:

This festive opportunity is fun for the whole family! We even take requests for which songs you'd like to learn! So, just set up a buffet, have everyone bring a dessert or appetizer (or provide your own), throw in some Egg Nog, and you're on your way to having a blast!
