Hello! I’m Tiju Issac, a passionate deaf educator.
I love exploring new places, working with technology, and sharing knowledge with both deaf and hearing people. I am fluent in five sign languages, including ASL, Indian Sign Language, Russian Sign Language, and International Sign Language.
Beyond teaching, I enjoy history, table tennis, coding, and oil painting. I was born with a creative mind and love sharing my skills. My goal is to create a friendly and inclusive learning space where everyone can connect, grow, and feel confident.
Join me today and start your learning journey!Me as a Teacher
I’m excited to help you learn American Sign Language (ASL) step by step. My lessons will help you become good at communicating clearly in ASL. You’ll learn the correct signs and facial expressions, which are very important for understanding in Deaf communication. You will learn 300 important words and 100 key sentences based on Deaf grammar. We’ll practice conversations, so you can feel confident when talking with the Deaf community.
If you want to visit India, you can also learn Indian Sign Language. I will connect you with the Deaf community there, so you can have a great travel experience!
Join me today and start learning sign language!My lessons & teaching style
In our lessons, we cover important topics like vocabulary, handshapes, facial expressions, Deaf culture, and more. I use practical assignments, quizzes, and ASL/ISL phrase practice to help you improve.
Learning the right handshapes and facial expressions is essential in both American Sign Language (ASL) and Indian Sign Language (ISL). These skills help you communicate clearly and connect with the Deaf community. Understanding Deaf culture is also key to effective communication.
With homework and practice activities, you’ll gain confidence and fluency in ASL or ISL.My teaching material
