Bryana Burrell

Bryana is an absolutely incredible ASL teacher. Her lessons are well paced and full of information. She offers resources outside of class, such as useful videos on bettering one's ability to sign or knowledge of Deaf culture. After every lesson, she sends a document with a brief review of the lesson, some suggestions for practice, & notes for what will come next. Her teaching is very well organized without feeling rigid and she is a fun conversation partner. It's a blessing to have such a patient and encouraging sign language teacher. I strongly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn ASL!

More real-world conversation practice. Also, got some cool moderate-to-fast fingerspelling tips today that's going to be a game-changer for me!

Learning with Bryana for nearly a month, I can already sign a lot. Bryana is always so patient and kind, she practises with me during the lesson and I got a lot of chances to practise what I've learnt. Bryana would give me feedback and answer my questions. Our lessons are productive, relaxing, and fun at the same time. I feel very lucky to have found Bryana as my ASL teacher on italki.

I was nervous at first because this was my first time using ASL but I quickly felt relaxed as Bryana was very patient. Even when I wasn't confident in my signs, she never made me feel rushed; talking to her felt easy. If I wasn't sure on a specific subject/sign, she would walk me through it and explain things clearly and concisely. I'm looking forward to our next lesson!

We did exercises in fingerspelling to improve speed and accuracy! Long way to go, but I'm much more confident than I was four months ago. :-)

Bryana is always prepared for our session. She challenges me with interesting concepts with what I want and need to learn.
