More Than Just Classes,
We Are a Community
Bridging the gap between the Deaf and Hearing worlds through education, accessibility, and real human connection.

MISSION
Why We Exist
MyASLTeacherROCKs was founded by Somer Stanley, a hearing individual with deep, lifelong connections to the Deaf community. With over 20 years of experience as a certified ASL teacher and interpreter, Somer realized that learning ASL needed to be more than just memorizing signs, it needed to be about connection.
We believe that learning ASL should be accessible, inclusive, and rooted in real interaction. Whether you are a parent of a Deaf child, an aspiring interpreter, or someone looking to grow, we support you every step of the way.
