Matthew
Experienced ASL and ESL Tutor
I am very experienced in the field of ASL. I learned the language when I was 6 years old because my older brother is hard of hearing. My whole family learned ASL and my two sisters became ASL interpreters. I followed in their footsteps and became a ASL interpreter when I was 18 in the Washington D.C. area.

Matthew is terrific. He taught five of my grandchildren (ages 7 to 11) sign language. By the end of the summer, they could sign "We Wish You a Merry Christmas". He was very patient with all of them. He is very knowledgeable. A very rewarding experience.

I learned a lot from him and I started to gain more confidence in my signing skills as time went on. I liked that he had a variety of creative lesson plans it keeps it interesting. Affordable, flexible, and dependable!

I have been working with Matt for about 4 lessons now (sign language) and very pleased so far. He is very approachable, creates an atmosphere for learning, and flexible with meeting times if I have to rearrange my schedule. He has shown a genuine interest in sign language as a whole as well as my goals behind learning it. I would encourage anyone who is interested in learning sign language to just contact Matt for a meet and greet (he and I met at a local Starbucks for our meet/greet) and go from there.

Great tutor. My son had a wonderful experience and learned a great deal. I wish the summer was longer. I really wanted to continue the lessons to give my son some real world lessons outside of the norm.
Jacqueline P. from Crofton, MD
Matthew was a great teacher and tutor. Altered the lesson plan to help me meet my goals. Emphasized key signs and phrases and repeated them with me until they became muscle memory. Very kind and flexible with times/meeting places.
