This was my second Airbnb experience with Martise. I really love the energy he brought to the class. The well-structured lesson made the content very approachable for beginners like me, and it was satisfying when we could sign to a short song. Would wholeheartedly recommend this Airbnb experience!

I really enjoyed learning sign language from Matt’s friend, Martise. As a total beginner, Martise made everything very accessible, and I quickly found myself getting into the rhythm of things. He also went the extra mile by answering my many questions. What was best about this experience was Martise’s amazing ENERGY! I had such a good time that I’ve already booked my next lesson. Looking forward to it!

Martise was excellent! Very personable, professional, and made me feel comfortable. 10/10 would recommend his help to anyone trying to improve their knowledge in ASL. I learned a lot in just one hour. Very thankful for the chance to learn from him!

"One of the best team activities I have attended since we went into quarantine" - actual quote from one of our attendees. I booked this experience for a corporate teambuilding activity and everyone had a blast. Matt is a fantastic host - friendly, engaging, and warm. Everyone had fun while also learning something new and immersing themselves in this creative experience. I highly recommend this activity!
