About Ruthie

I am a professional ASL-English interpreter, and graduated from RIT/NTID (Rochester, NY) in 2014.

My desire for new language learners is for them to feel confident in practice, so that confidence transfers to their everyday life!

ASL is my second language, but I learned from Deaf individuals since day one. I will always refer back to the Deaf community as the best people to learn from (ASL is ultimately THEIR native language, not mine). I am simply here and available to support the learning you do from them.

About the lesson

My goal is for you to have fun and feel CONFIDENT using ASL. I remember what it felt like to start out learning this language and worry about whether I could really become fluent one day. Let’s change that for you!

We will:
- Create a customized plan/lessons to meet your individual wants and needs
- Communicate in ASL only, or English as needed
- Complete any homework you have (from high school to bachelor’s degree college levels)
- Create a CONFIDENT you!

Perfect! I had my initial free lesson with Ruthie. She was extremely supportive and responsive to my personal goals and clearly articulate the the structure of her tutoring sessions. She also pointed me to some helpful self-study resources.

Janine is a fantastic student, catching on to things quickly and very motivated to learn more! I appreciate all her flexibility as I've needed to reschedule due to last minute scheduling conflicts. Look forward to working with her more!

Perfect! She is fluent and is very good at noticing my mistakes and correcting me as we go along in a way that shows me to be better at communicating what I am saying. We work on different things so that we are keeping things interesting and not just dwelling on 1 subject making matters boring or monotonous. She is rewarding and encouraging! Most of all knowledgeable! Great teacher!

I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation for my private ASL tutor. Despite the challenges I faced with my professor, my tutor's clear and comprehensive teaching has been invaluable. She has helped me specifically with my exams, quizzes, and video homework, ensuring I understand each concept thoroughly. Her dedication and availability for numerous class discussions have significantly boosted my confidence and understanding. Thanks to her, I've been able to tackle my coursework with greater ease. Her commitment to my success is truly commendable, and I am incredibly grateful for her support.
