Hi! My name is Abigail, and I’m a Nigerian living in Nigeria. I’ve always been passionate about languages and communication. My journey with sign language began when I was 10 years old, and what started as curiosity has grown into a lifelong passion. Today, I not only use ASL daily but also teach it to students across the country and beyond.
I love creating a supportive and interactive learning space where students feel confident and motivated. My teaching style is patient, practical, and engaging — focusing on real-life communication you can use right away.
Outside of teaching, I enjoy adventure and exploring new cultures.Me as a Teacher
