Shalom! My name is Maoz (מעוז). I'm a certified teacher of Hebrew as a foreign language and have been teaching here for quite a while now.
I'm passionate (some might say obsessive) about languages and history, though I'm generally curious about pretty much anything and am glad to talk about any topic. I'm fond of etymology and the roots of words, and learning languages myself has taught me a few tricks over the years concerning language acquisition. I enjoy sharing and making use of my experience in order to help you along your road with Hebrew.
Insegno anche molto volentieri in italiano!
Me as a Teacher
I structure my lessons based on the student's needs and can adjust to the student's level of knowledge.
Having a thorough understanding of the rules and structure of the language, I am comfortable explaining them both with and without all the complex grammatical terminology. Very often when we learn a new language we hit some hard points, for example when we don't understand why a certain sentence is phrased in a certain manner, or why one word is used rather than the other. I'm more than prepared to help simplify all those things and make the learning process easier.
My lessons & teaching style
I like to work on all aspects of language acquisition, including ones often neglected, such as pronunciation and intonation, how to remember difficult words more efficiently, colloquial language and more.
I use a variety of textbooks (the classic ones used in Ulpan classes in Israel) together with my own exercises and, for more advanced students, short stories and news/video articles.
All levels welcome - if you are a complete beginner we can begin from the very beginning, learning how to read the alphabet without the vowel signs (a seemingly daunting task at first, but not at all impossible!). If you already have experience with Hebrew, we can pick it up and build on previous knowledge.

Maoz has been teaching me for almost a year now. He is an extraordinarily skilled language instructor with exceptional teaching skills, a wide breadth of knowledge, unusual intelligence (although he dislikes wearing this badge), the ability to adapt content to our - student - needs, and he has the patience of Job. He has the ability to make the complex simple... all in the target language, in Hebrew.

Maoz is a great Hebrew teacher. I have learned so much from him in the year that we worked together. He has excellent materials and is the most patient teacher that I have ever had. He has a well-thought-out system for teaching you Hebrew in a manageable way. He is the easiest person for me to speak Hebrew with. His method is very practical. He gives you good homework and it has helped me progress much faster because of it.

Maoz is a great teacher, he can lead a 60 minutes class talking only in Hebrew with an absolute beginner like me. Astonishing patience, great abililty to nurture students respecting their natural pace of learning.

Another extremely productive lesson with Maoz. He is highly knowledgeable and I love the way he structures his lessons. He clearly loves teaching and makes you feel comfortable. I am so glad I no longer have anxiety when it comes to speaking Hebrew. As a new immigrant in Israel I used to have anxiety with the language but it is fading away and my family in law congratulates me :)

Maoz is an amazing teacher. He knows exactly what your needs are and will guide you all the way. He makes the language sound easier. I was a bit discouraged before I met him but now I am confident because I know I can definitely speak with ease even though I still have a lot to learn but with Maoz's perfect teaching I will succeed. Look no further, he is the very best!
