Give Students a New Way to Communicate
Language is about more than words—it's about connection, confidence, and understanding.
We're looking for an enthusiastic American Sign Language (ASL) Instructor to introduce students to ASL through an engaging, interactive, and inclusive learning experience.
Students will build foundational signing skills while developing an appreciation for communication, accessibility, and Deaf culture. Through hands-on activities, conversations, games, and real-world scenarios, you'll help make ASL practical, approachable, and fun.
This is an opportunity to teach a valuable skill while helping students become more confident communicators and more aware of the diverse ways people connect with one another.
Whether you're an ASL instructor, interpreter, Deaf educator, fluent signer, language instructor, college student, recent graduate, or someone passionate about ASL and accessibility, we'd love to hear from you.
Curriculum guidance and instructional support are provided, so you can focus on connecting with students and creating an engaging classroom experience.
What You'll Do
- Lead engaging and interactive ASL classes
- Introduce students to foundational signs, vocabulary, fingerspelling, and conversational skills
- Teach practical signs and phrases students can use in everyday situations
- Help students practice signing through games, activities, conversations, and interactive exercises
- Introduce age-appropriate concepts related to Deaf culture, accessibility, and inclusive communication
- Demonstrate signs clearly and provide supportive, constructive feedback
- Encourage students to practice without worrying about making mistakes
- Adapt instruction to different learning styles, abilities, and levels of experience
- Create a welcoming, inclusive, and respectful classroom environment
- Encourage curiosity, participation, and confidence
- Monitor student progress and celebrate student accomplishments
- Maintain an organized and positive classroom environment
- Communicate professionally with program coordinators and school staff
- Arrive prepared, dependable, and ready to make ASL an enjoyable experience
What We're Looking For
You don't need to be a traditional classroom teacher. We're looking for someone who can make ASL engaging, approachable, and meaningful.

- Ability to demonstrate and explain signs clearly
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills
- Patience, enthusiasm, and an encouraging personality
- Ability to lead and engage a group of students
- Comfort adapting instruction to different learners
- Reliable, organized, and professional work habits
- Respect for Deaf culture and inclusive communication practices
Prior experience in ASL instruction, interpreting, Deaf education, teaching, tutoring, mentoring, camps, or youth programs is a plus—but not required.
