Hi there!

​

I'm Ioanna, owner of Sign + Learn and a Licensed Little Signers Club teacher**. I started running baby signing classes in November 2019 and since then I have been fortunate enough to meet many lovely families and see babies learning their first signs with me. 

My academic background is in Social Anthropology, a field of study that has shaped my personality and the way I perceive the world. My first contact with British Sign Language was in 2012, when I met a group of deaf adults in the library I used to work. I soon decided to undertake some formal learning and worked my way up to level 3 in BSL at Frank Barnes School for Deaf Children in London. This is when my twins arrived and everything was put on pause, as raising twins proved a full-time job on its own! 

Having a background in British Sign Language and a love for children, baby signing ticked all the boxes for a change in my career. And Little Signers Club was by far the best organisation to work for. 

​

Last year a new chapter began with Sign + Learn. I'm so excited for what's around the corner and look forward to many more years of bringing you high-quality signing classes, smiles, and fun!

**As a licensed LSC teacher, I deliver classes, courses, and workshops that fall under Little Signers Club® Licensed Practitioner frameworks.

Little Signers Club Licensed Practitioners are supported and endorsed by speech, language, and communication experts, child development experts and set the standard for baby signing in the UK. Truly unique in their structure and ability to adapt to the changing needs of a group, classes focus on signing and communication, bonding and attachment, responsive and respectful care, life skills, and core competencies, and are delivered under license by BSL-qualified, fully trained, practitioners.
