For one communicate. Secondly, don't approach in a way that would make you feel like your being taken advantage of. Offer to do some simple things together like go to the mall or go to the library. Simple stuff. Actually do work in some tutoring sessions to begin with.
My best advice is to go to a deaf social, and sign to them that you are an ASL student and you would like some extra help outside class and offer to pay or if you have no money offer to do some things for them as payment such as mowing their lawn for every lesson they tutor, or offer them dinner for teaching. Just make sure your giving back as much as your getting, if not more. Don't be pushy.
If they agree to tutor you, meet up with them at a library or quiet cafe. After the lesson ask them in ASL "What do I owe you?".
The more they realize that you really are trying the more likely you are to get a long-term relationship out of it.
