Shalom everyone! My name is Dana Shem-Ur. I am a passionate Hebrew teacher, a novelist (author of "Where I Am", New Vessel Press, 2023), a fiction translator, and a Ph.D. candidate in the history department at Tel Aviv University. I also hold a master's degree in contemporary philosophy from the École Normale Supérieure in Paris.

Me as a Teacher
I am an autodidact polyglot. In the past decade, I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to travel abroad and learn six foreign languages in a short period of time: Chinese, Russian, German, Italian, and French. During this time, I developed a unique learning method that I share with my wonderful students. For the past five years, I have been teaching Hebrew to people of all ages, from beginners to advanced students who want to delve into Israeli novels together.
My lessons & teaching style
As a former actress, I use learning methods inspired by theater techniques to help my students memorize new vocabulary and speak Hebrew with confidence and joy. I use lyrics, pictures, and stories (among other things) as learning materials, and I strive to keep my lessons as interactive as possible. I would be happy to elaborate on my teaching method when our learning journey begins!

Dana is knowledgeable, personable, and understands the mechanics of language in a way that makes her teaching clear and easy to pick up. I love that she uses her students interests as jumping off points for her lessons and incorporates her knowledge of various languages, pop culture, music, art, and more to help her students connect to the language. She is fun to learn from and her teaching methods are effective, personalized and unique!
