"I am very experienced teaching Hebrew, Judaics, English, and writing. My training in foreign language education means I know how to structure lessons and practice and I can help you master what you are studying. 15 years in college gave me lots of practice in academic writing! I have worked as a private editor and as a university writing instructor. I can help with drafting, editing, and proofreading.

I work a lot with converts, bnei mitzvah, adult bnei mitzvah, and ba'alei tshuvah: anyone who wants to know more about Jewish practice and life as well as learning the basics of Hebrew. I have worked with students in all movements of Judaism and am familiar with different prayers and practice. I also work with first-time language learners wanting to get familiar with Hebrew as it is really spoken in Israel.

For over 20 years I've taught every kind of Hebrew to every kind of student, from preteen to retirement age, including many with learning differences. I also teach Jewish history, culture, religion, and prayer. After Bachelor's and Master's in Government, I focused on Mid-East language and politics, and did graduate study at the U Texas in communications, foreign language education, linguistics, Jewish history, and Hebrew language.

I teach Hebrew alphabet and reading, and first-year beginning level Biblical, Prayerbook, and Modern Israeli Hebrew. I'm especially good at explaining and drilling grammar and vocabulary. I've taught at UT, many synagogues, 2 day schools, and tutored many individual students. I've taught many adult prayer learners as well. So whether you want to learn the prayer service, how to converse in Hebrew, or read the Bible or other religious texts, I can help you out.

If you are already in a class, I'll be happy to work with your particular textbook. If not, I can suggest or provide materials for study. I'm generally available Sunday-Thursday and respond quickly to messages." less...
