Hi! I’m Abigail, your fun and patient ASL tutor from Nigeria, specializing in beginner-friendly lessons that build real-world signing confidence. My 10+ years of teaching—including kids and teens—started from a childhood curiosity and grew into a mission to make ASL accessible to all. Whether you’re learning for travel, work, or connection, I’ll help you communicate clearly from Day 1.
When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me exploring cultures (or planning my next adventure!), because life’s too short for boring conversations—signed or spoken. Ready to dive in? Let’s make every gesture count!"Me as a Teacher

My lessons are personalized, engaging, and inclusive, ensuring that every student gains confidence and fluency in ASL. My lessons & teaching style

Whether you’re a complete beginner or already have experience, or you're learning for fun I adjust my teaching to match your pace and goals. I focus on building both your vocabulary and your confidence, so you can start communicating right away.

I really enjoy my classes with Abigail, she is a great teacher, very positive and patient, always explains the signs clearly and makes each class very engaging and fun. I am an absolute beginner in ASL, but after a few lessons with Abigail I could already make simple conversations. Highly recommend!

Abigail is the perfect sign language teacher. We are starting from the beginning and she was so patient with us. I recommend her whether you’re an adult or a child or a total beginner like we are.
