I am a Hebrew teacher with over 15 years of experience, working with students of all ages and backgrounds — from kindergarten and elementary school to teenagers, university students, new immigrants, adults, and golden-age learners. Throughout my journey, I have taught in many settings: private lessons, schools, Jewish community centers such as JCC, Ulpan programs for new immigrants in Israel, international programs such as MASA, and at Tel Aviv University. These experiences shaped not only my professional path, but also my understanding of people, language, and learning. I am also the creator of a Hebrew textbook, currently used by teachers in several Ulpan programs, and the developer of Milot Yachas, an App focused on Hebrew prepositions. I also record Hebrew read-along videos for children and create educational content about Hebrew when inspiration comes. My journey with Hebrew began when I was about 10 years old. I only knew the alphabet, yet I was asked to help a girl join a Hebrew group. I taught her the letters — and somehow, it worked. She understood everything. I didn’t know it then, but that moment became the first seed of a lifelong path. Later, while studying music, I also pursued linguistics with a focus on Hebrew. Within six months of learning the language, I began teaching private lessons — and private teaching has remained part of my life ever since. In Moscow, I worked at a Jewish Community Center, leading music and Hebrew programs for children, and participated in educational camps as a Hebrew teacher and activity leader. During my studies, I also completed an internship at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. A significant part of my life was my work in an Ulpan in Israel, where I taught new immigrants. For them, Hebrew is not just a subject — it is an essential tool for life, adaptation, and belonging. Being part of that process meant much more than teaching vocabulary or grammar. It was about connection, support, and human relationships. Alongside this work, I taught students in international programs such as MASA, as well as university students at Tel Aviv University. Each group required a different approach, and over time I learned how to adapt my teaching to different needs, motivations, and goals.In my teaching, I focus first on creating a safe and supportive environment. I want every student to feel comfortable speaking, making mistakes, and being heard. Language is not only a system of rules. It has rhythm, atmosphere, it reflects culture, and emotional depth. That is why I bring creativity into the learning process — through songs, images, symbols, movement, and associations. I often use an immersion-based approach, influenced by different methodologies, including spiral learning and ACTFL standards, which emphasize gradual development and revisiting material at deeper levels over time. For me, learning Hebrew is also about self-expression — the ability to speak about who you are, what you feel, and what matters to you. To laugh in the language, to understand it from within, and to experience it as something alive. This is the space where language becomes more than learning — it becomes connection.
