Bruce is an excellent teacher! He tailors each lesson to the student's skills and goals. Today we chatted for a few minutes (in ASL) and then we practiced expansion techniques. Bruce is always prepared with materials on the whiteboard, and he includes lots of examples for practice for each concept. He is very kind and encouraging, and he's good at explaining features of ASL that do not exist in English. I'm looking forward to our next lesson!

I had a good first lesson with Bruce, he is knowledgeable, and I would take another class with him.

Bruce did a great job of quickly figuring out exactly the level I needed us to sign at and sticking with signing the entire time! I felt super confident signing with him but also stretched in my abilities just enough that I feel like I leveled up a ton during the lesson. Great teacher if you want someone who will challenge you but not intimidate you!

Bruce was set up to use the iTalki classroom features, unfortunately, my internet never plays nice with iTalki. I'm certainly happy with the port of the materials to zoom whiteboard. I had some ASL instruction in high school, so some parts are familiar instead of new, and I like how the classes are mostly full immersion in signing. Bruce provides a clean lesson summary after each class which has really helped me make flashcards and remember what I've been taught in each lesson. Grammar is also being introduced a little more each class, and Bruce will field topic requests if you need/want to learn how to talk about something specific.

Had an Excelente time building my ASL vocabulary translating a children’s book for my son, later I was able to tell the story to my son and he thought it was so cool!!
