Conversational Hebrew, or Bar/Bat Mitzvah prep: A Fun Learning Experience

Are you looking for help with Hebrew homework at school or university? Are you going to Israel and would like to be able to speak with people there? Perhaps your child doesn't have time for Hebrew school, but you'd still like him/her to learn? I can help! I teach adults and children, Jewish or not. I am gentle and patient, and I make sure my lessons are fun and entertaining. Connections are made between various subjects, we sing songs, watch relevant film clips, and tell stories. Bar and bat mitzvah prep is also available. I enunciate all words very clearly, making it easy to learn by imitation.

About Bettina S.

4.9
(89)
I grew up in Sweden, speaking Swedish at home, but going to French school. At age four, I was immersed in a French environment, and had to sink or swim. I swam! In my late teens, my family moved to Israel, so I became fluent in Hebrew as well. I understand a lot about the language acquisition process. While languages fascinate me, and come easily to me, I understand that that is not the case for everyone. I am very patient, and willing to try different methods in order to succeed. I realize that some people learn best by seeing the materials, while others need to hear them, or even sing them! Others need to move their bodies and engage in kinesthetic learning. I facilitate all these methods. I have taught all ages, from preschoolers to the elderly. I have taught in preschools, elementary schools, universities, and informal educational settings (like summer camps) as well as one-on-one privately. While teaching languages, I often include song clips or video clips of stories in the target language. I’m very flexible with timing, and available as often as you’d like, Sunday to Friday.

Bettina is excellent at her Swedish teaching, I am trying to focus on pronunciation and conversation, after 3 lessons, I am confident I will improve!

Bettina was a great teacher for my 11 year old who was really interested in learning Hebrew but also a little nervous. In just a few lessons, Bettina built trust and helped my daughter gain some confidence as she starts her B'Mitzvah prep. I've even heard her talking to her friends on the phone sharing what she's learned with great enthusiasm, thanks to Bettina. Getting a tween's endorsement is quite an accomplishment :-) Thank you, Bettina!
