Lotus
American Sign Language (ASL) taught by your Deaf Instructor, Alyssa Sullivan.
Welcome to ASL Lotus!
Hi! Welcome to ASL Lotus. ASL Lotus was established in August of 2020 by your Deaf ASL Instructor, Alyssa. ASL Lotus is based in Phoenix, Arizona but connects with clients all over the United States.
I work one-to-one with children and adults. For a 40 minute session is $35 for all ages. For a shorter session (most suitable for children) is anywhere from 15-20 minutes is $20. When you book an appointment with me, you will receive an email with the Google Meet link which we will use for our session. In addition, after each session, you will receive another email from me with the reviews we covered during our session.
​
My goal is to help you succeed in ASL! With my one-to-one session allows you to interact with a Deaf person and ask any questions you have, with peace of mind that the information you are getting is accurate. ASL is my first language and I am very well immersed into my Deaf community. We will go at your own pace and review as much as needed until you feel comfortable moving onto the next lesson. It is up to you how many classes a week you want to take and I am flexible if you need to cancel or reschedule.
​
I offer ASL Level l, ASL Level 2 and ASL Level 3. If you are not sure which is suitable for you, our first session will help us decide where we need to start. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns alyssa@asllotus.com.

TESTIMONIALS
"We have been studying ASL with Alyssa for a year, and we look forward to every class! Our niece was born profoundly deaf in 2019 and received her cochlear implants in 2020 and 2021. But after her mom noticed that she didn’t always want to use her “helper ears” she encouraged the rest of the family to study ASL and recommended Alyssa.
After a year of lessons, we have not only built our ASL skills and deaf culture knowledge, but we’ve found a true friend. She’s funny, patient and immensely kind and caring. Every time we have an upcoming visit with our niece, Alyssa has gone above and beyond to craft special lessons to help us better communicate with her. When we first decided to study ASL it felt like a daunting task, but Alyssa has guided us through our ASL journey with such joy and care. She’s the best and we’re so lucky to have her as our teacher and friend."

"I've had lessons with Alyssa for the past 2 years, and at this point our whole family takes lessons with her. It's been wonderful for us. We're taking lessons because the littlest of our family was born deaf, so we want to communicate equally with him in our family. Alyssa is really easy to schedule with, flexible about her times and availability. Lessons are affordable and easily accessible online. She plays games to increase vocabulary and word retention, and every lesson is fun. She makes learning ASL accessible for everyone. I highly recommend Alyssa for your whole family!"

Classes with Alyssa are exciting and always fun! She is very patient, flexible, and kind in her approach to organizing a class to suit her various student needs. Now that I'm at an intermediate level, she is finding new challenges like sessions on Deaf news, or conversation, or more complicated vocabulary. She can just as easily switch gears for classes prepared for my 5 y.o. son whose first language is ASL and effectively keeps his attention and love of learning. Classes with ASL Lotus are a bright spot in our week and something wonderful to look forward to.
