Fun Facts

I ran cross country and track for 5 years in high school and college. I have always always loved movies, especially foreign films, and my initials happen to be ASL!

About Me

I'm Ashley! I graduated Cum Laude from UCSD with a Bachelors's degree in Media Arts and a minor in American Sign Language. I'm a very patient person, easy to talk to, and am always willing to go out of my way to provide extra help if needed. I'm a film major, not an English teacher, but I tutor because I love watching students gain confidence in a subject that they struggle in. Whether it's grasping a new element of material or moving up a reading level, I get just as excited as they do!

Experience

I have been tutoring English and ASL for the last five years and absolutely love helping students overcome their insecurities or fears in a subject that they struggle in. I'm also an ASL minor and have been signing for eight years. At UCSD I helped found the ASL club which provided free tutoring sessions, homework help, and conversation practice for ASL students that needed extra help or or wanted to improve their fluency.

Approach

I have worked with all kinds of students from young elementary to adults learning English or ASL as a second language and have learned that every student learns differently, so I'm always excited to figure out how best to structure lessons or the way I explain material in order to help them to succeed!
