Hello! I’m Tiju Issac, a Deaf educator fluent in 5 sign languages (ASL, Indian, Russian, International Sign, and more). My superpower? Bridging cultures—whether you’re mastering ASL for daily life or Indian Sign Language for travel adventures.
As a tech-loving globetrotter and artist, I weave creativity into lessons—think coding meets oil painting meets Deaf history! Whether you’re hearing or Deaf, my goal is simple: a vibrant, judgment-free zone where signing feels like second nature.
Let’s turn signing into your next passion—or passport!"Me as a Teacher
I’m excited to help you learn American Sign Language (ASL) step by step. My lessons will help you become good at communicating clearly in ASL. You’ll learn the correct signs and facial expressions, which are very important for understanding in Deaf communication. You will learn 300 important words and 100 key sentences based on Deaf grammar. We’ll practice conversations, so you can feel confident when talking with the Deaf community.
If you want to visit India, you can also learn Indian Sign Language. I will connect you with the Deaf community there, so you can have a great travel experience!
Join me today and start learning sign language!My lessons & teaching style
In our lessons, we cover important topics like vocabulary, handshapes, facial expressions, Deaf culture, and more. I use practical assignments, quizzes, and ASL/ISL phrase practice to help you improve.
Learning the right handshapes and facial expressions is essential in both American Sign Language (ASL) and Indian Sign Language (ISL). These skills help you communicate clearly and connect with the Deaf community. Understanding Deaf culture is also key to effective communication.
With homework and practice activities, you’ll gain confidence and fluency in ASL or ISL.My teaching material

I think I enjoy this teacher giving new words. I also hope to have more sentences to practise. Conversation is the best way to really practise the signs.

His class was interesting. Appreciate him for typing out the words I didn't know. I enjoyed the conversation part to learn new words and a list of words for revision and new knowledge. I hope to gain more confident in signing.
