Professional Hebrew teacher at Tel-Aviv University, specializing in guiding absolute beginners to fluency—especially Chinese speakers with zero background. My dual expertise in language education and cultural research (I speak 11 languages!) helps me craft lessons that resonate across borders. Students call me ‘the confidence builder’—mistakes are celebrated here as stepping stones. Let’s turn Hebrew into your second nature, one tailored lesson at a time.
Me as a Teacher
I teach Hebrew from the alphabet to very advanced in terms of vocabulary, grammar, diction, and idioms. I can help you improve your pronunciation as my accent and way of conversing is natural. I will speak to you slowly in a calm and welcoming tone.
All my classes are specific are tailored to each student's needs. I care about your personality, and ways of learning. I adjust to your specific requirements and states of mind.
I am a very open-minded person I like talking about psychology, history, anthropology, cross-cultural exchanges, and so on.
I mainly teach to adults and I have over five years of experience to a variety of nationalities.
My lessons & teaching style
I provide all the materials and can give you homework assignments. I will take notes during each lesson so you can review vocabulary.
I offer classes to every level so it doesn't matter if you are totally new to Hebrew.
I am a very concrete self-confidence builder and am quite able to guide you through the different levels of comprehension during the lessons.
What can you expect from my lessons?
Substantial progress and results in both writing, speaking and comprehension,
a major increase in your usage of vocabulary in whatever field you will need.
So why don't book a lesson with me and see how it goes?
I can't wait to teach you and hear your progression.

Gerade habe ich mich wieder eine wunderbare Stunde mit Tzuf gehabt. Und ich geh beschwingt in den Abend.
Inzwischen lerne ich mit Tzuf seit zehn Monaten hebräisch. Dank ihm bin ich immer dran geblieben, trotz vieler Momente, in denen ich mich gefragt habe, ob ich dabei bleibe. Seine offene und bestärkende Seite wie sein Humor haben mich durch so manche Frustration getragen. Auch seine Bereitschaft, jede meiner Hausaufgaben zu korrigieren, ist eine große Hilfe für mich.
Herzlichen Dank!

Tzuf is geduldig, denkt graag mee en gebruikt graag dingen die je interessant vindt in de lessen. Tegelijkertijd zijn de lessen ook niet te makkelijk en zo garandeert hij dat je begrip van Hebreeuws telkens beter wordt.

Tzuf brings to his lessons great atmosphere, engaging materials and plenty of practice! I felt some progress already after my first class, and realized how much I need to learn even before that, when Tzuf reviewed my intro homework. Very helpful and recommend to anyone with serious attitude and intention
