You can find online tutoring companies that offer a long list of ASL tutors,
their qualifications, prices, and reviews.
You are welcome to put together and submit to me a "request for tutoring" email
in which you state your preferred and alternate tutoring schedules, the price
range you are willing to pay, your willingness (or lack thereof) to participate
in semi-private tutoring, your interest level in traveling to and participating
in small-group immersion experiences (including how much you are willing to pay
for such an experience), a link to a brief self-introduction (in ASL), and any
other information you feel might entice a skilled ASL tutor to work with you.
Warm regards,
+ Bill

William G. Vicars, Ed.D.
When seeking an ASL tutor it will help if you type out clearly what days and times you are available to be
tutored.
If you "do" get together with a tutor, do not expect them to have a process or a
system.
Instead I recommend you bring a list of sentences or signs or items that
you wish to review. Make an extra copy for the tutor.
See below for an example of a good "tutor request".
Cordially,
Dr. Bill Vicars
Sample Tutor Request:
======================================================
"Hi (first name of tutor),
My name is __________ and I'm
taking an "ASL 1" class at ________.
Your name was listed as a potential tutor and
I'm wondering if you could meet with me a few times? I'm available on the
following days and times:
[List EVERY time you have available. Do the WORK of making
a decent, clear list. Don't make the tutor play email ping pong with you to
figure out a time that will work.]
We could meet in the lobby of Eureka and find an empty classroom or even go to
the library to do the tutoring. I'll attach a pic of myself so you can recognize
me when we meet. I'll bring a list of signs and sentences that I wish to review.
Thank you in advance. I appreciate your time.
Sincerely,
[your first and last name]
[your email]
