Roslindale, MA Hebrew Lessons

I am a fluent native speaker, and can teach Biblical and modern Hebrew. I combine reading and conversation in order to put Hebrew into context. Lessons will focus on students' needs, whether it be bnei mitzvah tutoring, learning the language, learning prayers, etc.

Lived in Israel for a year and rehearsed and taught the language in its Modern and Ancient forms on several continents. Being a former student in a Yeshiva in my early teen years, I am also deeply aware of the liturgy and the Tanach / Hebrew Bible and how it impacts contemporary languages such as Hebrew and English.

I teach Modern, Prayer, and Biblical Hebrew, and adjust my methods to every student. My strengths are adding additional structure to the language (so everything makes more sense to you!), accent reduction, and vocabulary acquisition. I have prepared students for high school entry exams, travel, reading in synagogue, bar/bat mitzvahs, and lifelong learning. When teaching a 5 year student, I developed a new method for acquiring Hebrew language skills at a very young age. I also posses extensive knowledge on Judaism and Israel.

My students can expect to begin with the alphabet, and then building upon the vowels, grammar, and vocabulary. I will teach from three texts, the Torah, "A Grammar For Biblical Hebrew" by Seow, and an "Introduction to Hebrew" by John Parsons from Zola Levitt Ministries.

Hi Everyone,
I am so happy you chose to study Hebrew, this is my first language and I teach this subject for more than 4 years. I was tutor for University students and elementary school pupils. I always liked this profession, and I think that Hebrew is beautiful language, like so many others. If you want to learn the Holy Language or if you exciting to hear about cultural characteristics of Middle East country, this is the place where you can have them both. I look forward to meeting you:)) Odaya

Hi, there! My name is Maya and I can't wait to meet you! I've been teaching private lessons since 2012 and have loved helping my students in the process of learning reading, writing and speaking Hebrew, as well as expanding their knowledge about Jewish traditions (should they choose to do so). Nothing makes me happier than when my students are so comfortable speaking Hebrew that they don’t even need me anymore! I grew up in Israel speaking Hebrew as my native language. I'm young, enthused and positive. My teaching style is fun; focused and encouraging. I look forward to helping you reach your goals

I believe that the most important thing in learning a new language is to speak. As much as you can.
We must shake of the fear of embarrassing ourselves or making mistakes.
In my classes I will give you all the confidence you need in order to feel comfortable to speak.
I am very patient, encouraging and have a sense of humor, so classes will be fan.

I was born and raised in Israel, so I read, speak, & write it fluently. I'm very outgoing, & I like to make things fun, so learning Hebrew wouldn't be as difficult and boring. I feel like I would be a really great tutor.
