Bruce

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’s insightful and intuitive teaching style is on the list of intangibles that I look for in a teacher. It’s a gift when I find a teacher with whom you jibe so well and who also has such developed yet versatile pedagogical acumen.

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!

Today was really great practice at signing spontaneously and getting my thoughts across. Based on my profile pic on Zoom we got into a discussion of my volunteer position working with marine mammals. All very useful vocabulary for me and I never would’ve thought to bring this up as a topic of conversation, but I’m so glad that Bruce asked me about the image. Now I can describe something that I devote a lot of my time to.

I always look forward to my lessons, very interesting and thought out
