About Me
italki teacher since May 4, 2021Interest topicPets & AnimalsTravelHistory
I was born and raised in Tel Aviv. My first hobby was languages. My other hobbies are dancing, singing, Yoga, Hiking. I have a BA in International Politics and in recent years I have been studying about the human psyche and holistic healing. I absolutely love traveling, seeing new places and meeting new cultures, and spending time in nature. Love animals.Me as a Teacher
I have been told by my students that I have a way of explaining and simplifying things in a way that helps in understanding them. Anything new that we learn in class, I encourage my students to practice it in speech. I adjust my pace to that of the student, and feel every day what they need that day. My aim is for the classes to be pleasant, fun and fruitful.My lessons & teaching style
Some people say Hebrew is a difficult language. I think it is not necessarily difficult, but it is complex, and if things are explained properly and we can understand the "why" behind how things are said, it suddenly becomes very logical and easy to understand. So that is one of my two primary aims - to make sure my student can make sense of the language and will therefore not get frustrated. I also encourage my students to practice speech all throughout the class, see it as our main aim in learning a language is being able to communicate with other people. Constant practice will not only improve the student's skills, but it will also give them the confidence they can do it on their own.My teaching material

Work Experience
2012 - 2013
Hebrew and English teacherI was a Hebrew and English teacher for students of elementary school and junior high (3rd grade to 9th grade). This teaching experience really contributed to my creativity as a teacher, as I didn't always have the right materials and I had to create contents for some of the classes.
2014 - 2014
Hebrew teacher for group classesWorking in a formal Ulpan helped me acquire experience and knowledge of the teaching methods in formal Ulpans in Israel (Ulpan = Hebrew school).
2014 - 2016
Hebrew teacher 121 lessonsWorking in the private Ulpan gave me experience in a different paced way of teaching Hebrew. Different to the formal Ulpans, which focus more on grammar and writing, the private Ulpans focus more on acquires conversational skill as quickly and efficiently as possible. It is a very practical and straight forward approach to learning a new language.
2016 - 2021
Hebrew teacherTeaching Hebrew as a self employed teacher allows me to take all of the experience and knowledge that I have acquired in previous years and implementing it in a way that feels to me the most efficient and beneficial for my students.
2008 - 2010
Spanish teacher for beginner groupsThis Spanish school gave me my first training as a language teacher. They taught me a lot about how to approach teaching a foreign language to adults. They gave me a lot of incredible tools that I use to this day in any language I teach, in simplifying grammatical rules and the differences between the student's mother tongue (the original way in which they learned how to think) and the new acquired language.
