About Shawn

15 years of teaching experience as an Auslan tutor and Auslan teacher in schools, universities, TAFEs/colleges, organisations, community groups, and families'/clients' homes. I taught and mentored more than 1,000 hearing students in my life experience as a Deaf Auslan signing person. Most of my successful students become disability support workers, interpreters, and Deaf community allies or professionals with Deafness Awareness skills and basic Auslan skills for communicating with their Deaf Auslan clients.

About the lesson

Short and easy, fun 1-hour Auslan lessons. Auslan (Australian Sign Language) is the official language of Deaf Australians. Auslan is different from English due to its unique syntax, grammar, Deaf facial expressions, and body language for intonation and contexts. Auslan also has 8 state dialects with regional and local accents. My teaching philosophy is to teach Auslan in an inclusive and safe environment at the learner's pace with learning materials provided. If you need any assistance on topics or vocab, please feel free to book and contact me. :-) I am profoundly Deaf and a fluent Auslan signer. I have lived in Australia all my life. My Auslan tutoring services: 1) Flexibility. 2) Conversations or set tasks/activities ranging from fingerspelling to translating passages - it is up to you! :-) 3) Timely and specific feedback in Auslan and Written English. 4) Honesty and authenticity based on my experience with Auslan teaching. 5) Follow up - if I am not sure of something, I will find out and get back to you! :-D

Perfect! Just incredibly professional and dedicated to appropriate and specific transfer of knowledge. It was for a very rushed film audition and Shawn was incredible in the speed with which he adapted to give the most useful information in the small time we had. Highly recommend!

Shawn has been very good and patient. I feel fine to ask him to repeat signs over and over and he’s very good at slowing down when I need and speeding up when I need to practice more. Very happy

I have known Shawn for approximately 10 years. During this time I have found Shawn to be a very honest, reliable and respectful person. As regards to his work, he is ambitious, very motivated, extremely competent and has developed a strong work ethic wherever he has been employed. He has also been proven to be an extremely competent Auslan Tutor. I therefore have no hesitation of recommending Shawn as an Auslan Tutor for Superprof students!

Details

Cancellations need to be given at least 48 hours including weekends to the Auslan teacher for rescheduling lessons. Minimum 1-hour booking for remote and face-to-face lessons. If you cancel under 48 hours, you will be charged a one-hour full cancellation fee ($75/hour for onsite lessons; $75/hour for remote lessons) because it will be unlikely to replace the work cancelled at short notice. Online lessons are different from face-to-face lessons. 1-hour (webcam) lessons are available.
