Testimonial by Megan Warnke

My score before working with you was only a 37%. So in two months I went up by 16%. That is an amazing feat in itself. I am proud of my growth and progress. Here are my plans. I am going to continue to tutor with you. I think you are amazing. You have brought out a confidence in me that I haven't seen in many years. You have given me the confidence to take the EIPA. Before tutoring with you I would have never even thought that I would be ready or even think I could be ready to take the EIPA. Thank you!

Testimonial from a web-cam ASL Interpreting Student

"Just wanted to say Hello! I am now learning to interpret for a small ASL class for a friend and although it was nervewracking, I did it! Thanks to the opportunity of watching you interpret, I felt so impressed - it inspired me to do the best I can."

Three choices in how you can be tutored:

1 - If you live locally (CO)- we can meet in person.
2 - If you are out of state - we use a top notch web-cam.
3- Or use a video-phone.
Take your pick!

1 hour of tutoring session is $25.00 - to see other rates, go here.

Testimonial from UNC ASL Interpreting Student:

As a senior in one of the only online bachelor's programs for ASL-English interpreting in the nation, I work with RaVen in order to ensure my interpreting quality. Working with her has benefitted me in numerous ways. One activity that we use to improve my skills is to interpret TED Talks. This past week I interpreted a TED Talk from which RaVen gave me constructive feedback that allowed me to think about my interpreting process and production. In addition, RaVen then interpreted the same text to show me a more visual and ASL production. I recognized my strengths and weaknesses through seeing her work and we were able to discuss the various aspects of the interpretations. This process has helped me greatly and I look forward to continue working with RaVen.
