Getting Tutoring Services for Deaf People

Although we are still enjoying the pool, school days beckon very soon. Gallaudet University frequently gets inquiries about how to get tutoring services for deaf people. This guest article by Cindy Officer from Gallaudet University explains how to do that.

This article definitely raised questions about any qualified and comptent tutors for deaf youngsters outside the Gallaudet community.

I often see many deaf students in mainstream settings, desperately scream for deaf tutors. I never seen any kind of employment ads for deaf tutors within mainstream schools.

Do you have any kind of experience with your deaf sons in mainstream school on tutoring subject?

I don’t see any centralized tutoring assistance for pre-college deaf youngsters like employment postings for deaf tutors, etc.

I am all done with tutoring stuff. I really enjoy tutoring Gallaudet students in the past. I don’t know about deaf pre-college students.

Let other deaf individuals do tutoring sessions. I am much willing to do the ASL tutoring depend on comptent ASL instructor/ instructional materials.

I rather teach classrooms than being a tutor.
