Testimonials
Our services make customers happy!
"Learning at home with Sign-Hear is relaxed, easy and fun. I am a busy working mum and having classes in my home or doing them online, is a great help. Sharon being super nice, is just an awesome added bonus!!"
Tracey Corbin-Matchett - Client
"My 12 year old son Cayden was born deaf with additional needs. For many years we have been unsuccessful in teaching him Auslan. In early 2019, I came across Sign Hear's Facebook page. I decided to give it a go even though Sharon had no experience with kids with autism at that time.
From day one, I have been blown away by her passion about making a difference to my son who is nonverbal. Her patience and calm nature is out of this world. Slowly but surely, Cayden's Auslan vocabulary grew to 100 words within the first year. I am proud to say that we are hitting the 200 mark this year! Sharon gave my son a voice!!

"We have been working with Sharon from Signhear for just over two years now. Miss Sharon teaches our Preschool children Auslan. Her lessons have become an integral part of our weekly curriculum and program and the children love Miss Sharon and look forward to her weekly classes. We have found her lessons to be invaluable to all our children, and have witnessed such progression in many of our children. We even have a community member join us for Sharon’s classes to polish up on her Auslan skills that she learnt many years ago. We hope our partnership with Signhear with continue for many years to come. We are so grateful for Signhear to give children in our community the opportunity to learn Auslan."
