My name is Paola, hearing mum to Everly Mia, who is profoundly deaf in both ears and a cochlear implant user.
British Sign Language (BSL) is her first language and my passion.
I hold a Signature BSL Level 2 qualification and starting Level 3 in September 2024.
Daily BSL user, I am based in Loughton - Essex.
I truly believe that learning a new language is an enriching yet challenging experience, so I am determined to tailor my offer to my student's needs.
It requires commitment and we all have busy lives, so it is key to find the best way to make it happen. That doesn't mean we cannot have FUN while learning, because it's entirely possible and I will show that to you.
Whether your preference is learning face to face or via Zoom on your computer, I offer both.
I cover the areas of Loughton, Chigwell and Buckhurst Hill for the in-person courses, which can be taught in the comfort of your home (I hold an enhanced DBS certificate), just as a 1:1 for you or for your whole family, or caretakers (grandparents for example)
Main courses:
- A taste of BSL: a brief 6 weeks introductory course of the duration of 1 hour each week that covers the very basics of BSL. This course is suited to adults (16+) and can be delivered also on a 1:1 basis. You will learn greetings, colours, numbers, transport and how to hold a basic BSL conversation.
- BSL Nursery Rhymes: a 3 hour brief course, split across 3 weeks (1 hour each week), to learn 2 signed most famous nursery rhymes at each session (total of 6). This course is suited to families who have or look after a deaf baby or child (up to pre-school age), whether they are parents or grandparents, nursery and school teachers, childminders, nannies, providers of baby courses or anyone who is interested to learn to sing and sign!
When you enrol in one of my courses, material (PDFs and video lessons) is included, to support learning throughout and revisit once the course has ended and also Whatsapp support as needed.
At present, I deliver courses during evenings (6pm-9pm) Monday to Friday term time (see dates here Academic year 2024 to 2025 | Essex County Council ) and weekends (days and evenings).

I look forward to speaking to you!
Open today | 09:00 – 17:00 |
