Profile
I graduated with my degree in secondary education with an English focus. I learned American Sign Language while in college and it has become an intricate part of my life. I was offered an amazing job teaching jr. high and high school English and ASL in New England, and I love it here! This year will be my third year teaching in a conventional school. While in college I was employed as a professional deaf interpreter. I have been teaching basic ASL for over 6 years. One of my ASL students has moved on to become an interpreter. I cannot imagine life without sign language. I enjoy teaching in the classroom as well as online. My students vary in age and level; therefore, I do my best to meet the needs of each individual student. If you would like to improve your conversational English or ASL, learn more grammar, or just improve your language skills, I would be happy to teach you. I look forward to inspiring you in the area of language. Amber

    Thailand Trip I am visiting Thailand in April, and I would like to learn some common words and phrases to help me get around while I am there. The alphabet looks very complicated to me, but I would like to try and learn it so I can read some signs and understand at least a little bit. Any advice is welcomed!

    Accomplishment I am excited to have two years of teaching under my belt. Teaching high school has its ups and downs, but overall is one of the greatest things I have ever done. I feel such a sense of accomplishment. I struggled so much in school. I never imagined I would be a teacher, but it seems that God had a higher plan for me than I could have dreamed. I hope I can fill some of my summer time with tutoring, whether on here or in person. I enjoy teaching. I love seeing the progress in a person. Can't really duplicate that feeling of accomplishment. I think this is enough rambling from me for one day! O.o ~Amber~

    How do I find new students? It has been a couple of years since I have taught on italki. I am an English teacher without work for the summer and hoping to find some people to tutor on here. What are some ways to get new students? I need some helpful hints... I'm offering to teach both English and American Sign Language, but I need students...any advice helps.

    Looks like I've missed a lot on Italki these last few months!!! I'd love to sign with all of you in the near future :) I just moved and I'm trying to get settled. I'm getting involved with the deaf community of the area and it's very exciting! Look forward to meeting each of you soon!!!!
