Hello! My name is Kimmi and I enjoy studying and teaching language. I love to study and languages is my topic of choice. You can always find me with a book in hand or my nose to my phone reading the latest linguistic news out there. I am fluent in English and American Sign Language. I am a CODA [child of a Deaf adult], so I grew up using ASL in my day to day conversations. While languages can be challenging, I think that exercising your mind is one of the best ways to better yourself and the world around you. The better you learn to communicate, the more people you can meet. Language enriches our lives in many ways and branching out our social circles is just one gift that language gives us.
Ik als leerkracht
I graduated from a four year program with an A.A.S in Deaf Studies. I tutored students at my college but I had been a tutor before that in my community. I have taught at my local E.L.K.S lodge and I have worked in an elementary school in Deaf classrooms. When I take on new students, I do like to take the first lesson with them to get to know them and ask them questions about their desire to learn sign language. This gives me the ability to figure out the best way to cater to each student individually. Having worked with children as well as adults, I am able to teach beginners as well as work with those who have more advanced skill.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My lessons are dependent upon each student. For students who are taking a class, I am able to help explain things that they are having trouble understanding in class and can help practice for presentations. For those who are self studying, I am able to help come up with a guide for that student to follow with me to better their vocabulary, grammar, and conversational skill. I also like to include information about Deaf culture in my lessons as I feel that understanding the culture is imperative to understanding the language.

I really enjoy Kimmi's classes!
I work as a British Sign Language Interpreter and I wanted to learn ASL as I often meet deaf people who have not learnt British Sign Language yet know ASL. Kimmi has been able to easily adapt to me and is able to match my needs. I love her flow and style! She has lessons planned and provides knowledge of the structure/ grammar of ASL, which helps me to grasp the language more easily. I can't wait to continue my ASL journey with her! Highly recommend!

Kimmi did an amazing job explaining elements of the linguistics of ASL to my Introduction to Linguistics class. None of us wanted the lesson to end! Highly recommended!
