Hello! I’m Tiju, a Deaf teacher who uses several sign languages, including ASL, Indian Sign Language, Russian Sign, and International Sign. I enjoy helping students communicate with confidence in real life—whether for daily use, travel, or meeting new people. My lessons are simple, relaxed, and focused on practice. I also share Deaf culture and experiences to make learning more meaningful. I teach both Deaf and hearing students. You don’t need to be perfect—just come ready to learn step by step. Let’s start your journey in sign language together 🙂 I’m happy to help you learn ASL step by step. My focus is to help you communicate clearly, not just memorize signs. You will learn correct signs, facial expressions, and how Deaf people really use the language in daily life. We’ll cover around 300 useful words and 100 important sentences, and we’ll practice together so you feel more confident. If you’re planning to visit India, I can also teach Indian Sign Language and share how to connect with the Deaf community there. Come join my class and start your sign language journey 🙂 In my lessons, we go through important things like vocabulary, handshapes, facial expressions, and Deaf culture. I also give simple practice, small tasks, and some quizzes to help you improve step by step. Handshapes and facial expressions are very important in both ASL and ISL. They help you show the right meaning and communicate clearly. I will guide you to use them correctly in real situations. ...
