Hey there! I'm Barak.
You know, diving into a new language can be a fascinating journey, and I've been there myself! I taught myself Italian starting from Hebrew – two languages that couldn’t be more different. Hebrew hails from the Semitic family, while Italian is a proud member of the Indo-European clan, with its Latin roots. Yet, here I am, after achieving the highest level: C2 CILS certificate in Italian. 🎉
I genuinely believe in patience and kindness when teaching, and I enjoy it immensely.
Can't wait to meet you! 😊

Me as a Teacher
Hey there!
I'm not just your average teacher; I genuinely care about delivering value to my students. While I'm all about having a fun and light-hearted approach, trust me, our lessons will never be dull! I equally enjoy diving deep into serious, colloquial, and even scientific topics.
You know how some lessons can feel like they're dragging on, or, the opposite, like they’re too rushed? I pride myself on my efficient approach to teaching. Once I've got a sense of your learning style and needs, our lessons will feel just right: the perfect balance of new content, practice, and those all-important breaks to let things sink in.
Looking forward to our learning adventure!😊
My lessons & teaching style
Jump in with me, and before you know it, folks will mistake you for a native speaker.
While the language journey can be filled with hiccups, I’m here to make it smooth sailing. Together, we'll pinpoint subjects you find relevant, dive deep for clarity, and then discuss every nook and cranny for solid practice.
Most importantly:
You'll find a confident, unique voice, free from doubts.
Nail pronunciation like you've spoken the language your whole life.
And together, we'll unearth cultural expressions that'll have you blending in seamlessly.
Let’s get started! 🚀

It must be difficult to remain present for an hour-long long lesson with someone who is struggling to communicate, but Barak's attention never wanders and he is always so positive. It is a joy to hang out with him every week.

Barak es un gran maestro. Llevo casi un año estudiando con él y veo una mejora bastante grande. Me alegro de haberlo elegido, las clases son realmente divertidas y interesantes, tenemos muchos temas de conversación en común, pero sin importar de qué hablemos, él siempre encuentra la manera de sacarte un poco más en tu proceso de aprendizaje sin hacerte sentir la más mínima estrés o presión.
Barak sería una excelente opción para aquellos que están aprendiendo italiano y quieren disfrutar del proceso y experimentar un progreso rapidísimo.

I highly recommend Barak as a tutor! He continues to surprise me with his great ideas on how to approach learning Italian.
I have studies French and Spanish and already after just a few weeks I feel more confident with my Italian than I ever did with the other languages. I have Barak to thank.
His suggestion for me to study and conquer basic pronunciation at first sounded boring and useless. I'm now a believer. I know he uses different approaches for different students and am thankful he quickly found what worked for me.
Plus his lessons were always relaxing and fun. Gracie mille!

I always feel so inspired after a lesson with Barak. He is very good at explaining things and is very patient. I feel very comfortable trying new phrases and I know he will be very encouraging.
