About Me
|
|
My name is Lisa Mills & I am your online tutor. I am a registered school teacher (early childhood, special education, primary & secondary) with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Visual Arts & Drama; & a Graduate Diploma in Education. |
I am bilingual in spoken English & BSL (British Sign Language) / Auslan (Australian Sign Language).
Deaf since birth, it wasn’t until my teenage years that I learnt to sign. It was the best thing I ever did as it enabled me to discover my deaf identity & learn ways to be proud of my deafness.
I have published a beautiful hardcover deaf awareness book 'Look at Me: Deaf Awareness' & a sign singing DVD for children called 'Sing & Sign with Lisa'. Both are popular resources! These are both available in my online store.
I am also married to a wonderful deaf man from England & we have two gorgeous hearing children 4y.o & 2y.o. Both children are growing up to be bilingual in sign language & English. In fact, both are said to be demonstrating very high communication, language & vocabulary skills for their age - thanks to sign language!
Sign language is a beautiful language & has opened many doors for my family & I. And, I anticipate that learning sign language will open new doors for you too.
Sign Language: Auslan and BSL
To view my style of teaching for my Auslan / BSL video tutorials please click on this youtube link. This video clip is number 1 on Google rankings for Auslan fingerspelling. It has many views, likes & comments. Please note this is an Auslan fingerspelling video tutorial. However, if you are here to learn BSL Online, you too can benefit from this video because Auslan & BSL fingerspelling are the same. Do take a look!
Deaf Yoga
I am also a trained yoga teacher with over 500hrs of training in Level 1 (200hrs) & Level 2 (300hrs) Yoga Alliance accredited courses. This training was predominantly in Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Iyengar & Hatha Yoga as well as Yoga Anatomy, Pranayama, Meditation & Ayurveda. In addition to this training I have completed Level 1 & 2 teacher training in Children's Yoga, Special Yoga (for children with disabilities) & Prenatal Yoga.
To view my style of teaching deaf yoga please click on this youtube link. This is a new video clip & is currently being very well received. It highlights ways to make yoga accessible to deaf people.

- Sally Ann, Special Needs Teaching Assistant
"This is the best thing I have done, I'm practicing all the time and teaching the children the new things I learn. It's easy to follow and I love the fact that I can have 10 minutes or half hour depending on my free time. I needed a little technical help and my request was responded to swiftly and the issues were resolved. "

"Thank you. I really enjoyed your course, and found your teaching very easy to follow. Looking forward to doing level two!"
- Elizabeth O'Driscoll
"As I’ve been doing this course I’ve shared all my learning with my two small boys (6 & 8 years old) as practice and because I think it’s important they learn too; they have been showing their teachers, and on Friday my youngest son came home and taught me how to sign merry Christmas, which his teacher had looked up and learned for him. Just joining this course has opened up so much extra communication and as a family we are all learning so much - and now a whole class is learning, because I joined a course. Thank you!"
- Lizzie Adams
"I have thoroughly enjoyed both levels. It's been brilliant to find out how much I knew already from watching the interpreter at church and gradually joining in with as much of the signing in the songs as I can manage. I needed to learn the signs that I don't see so often in church services (some of the sports and activities come up in the notices, I had missed out on some colours etc.) - and the little words sometimes speeding past me so fast I wasn't picking them up. This course has really helped my confidence and shown me the handshapes that it's harder to see at a distance (e.g the soon handshape which I was doing as a fist). Now I need to carry on practicing! I will be using the course to revise till it's all sunk in deep. Thank you very much."
