Hello! I’m Tiju Issac, a passionate and dedicated deaf educator. I love to explore new places, work with technology, and share my knowledge with everyone I meet—whether they are hearing or deaf. I am fluent in five sign languages, including American Sign Language (ASL), Indian Sign Language, Russian Sign Language, and International Sign Language, with ASL being my first language.
I create a welcoming, inclusive learning space where everyone can connect, grow, and feel confident in their abilities. Whether you want to improve your sign language skills or learn more about the world from a fresh perspective.

I’m excited to guide you step by step through learning American Sign Language (ASL). My lessons focus on helping you become fluent and clear in communication, teaching you the correct use of signs and facial expressions, which are essential for meaning in Deaf communication. You’ll learn 300 important sign words, along with 100 key sentences based on Deaf grammar, to build your skills.
We’ll also engage in practical conversation exercises, giving you the confidence to communicate effectively with the Deaf community. As a Deaf teacher, I offer a unique insight into Deaf life and culture.

In our lessons, we cover a variety of important topics, including vocabulary, handshapes in sign language, facial expressions, Deaf culture, and more. I use practical assignments, communication quizzes, and ASL phrase practice to help you strengthen your understanding of the language.
By learning the correct handshapes and facial expressions, you'll not only become proficient in ASL but also build meaningful connections with the Deaf community. Understanding Deaf culture is key to effective communication. Homework and practice will further enhance your skills, ensuring you become confident and fluent in ASL.My teaching material
