About Me

Shalom! I’m Rachael Alice, a UCLA-trained English and Hebrew teacher with a twist—my background in Anthropology and corporate life (JCPenney) taught me how language shapes connections. After moving to Israel, I fell in love with teaching, specializing in Biblical Hebrew, English as a foreign languate, conversational fluency in English and Hebrew, and helping learners overcome fear of mistakes. Since 2009, I’ve tailored online lessons to make Hebrew feel like home and English sound natural—whether you’re decoding ancient texts or chatting over coffee. Let’s turn your language goals into stories!Me as a Teacher
I became a teacher in order to help people in the real world be able to speak a new language. I teach English and Hebrew. I know how it feels to be in a new country and not be able to speak your mind. When I came to Israel, I could read a bit of Hebrew but it was very difficult to speak because I was afraid of making mistakes. As a teacher, I can help you to feel more comfortable in the new language. My lessons & teaching style
I am a very open minded teacher and I use many different resources and materials to help my students. Often you will have homework to watch a video or to read a short article and then we can talk about it in class. For Hebrew class, we can do exercises or to read a book in Hebrew or even the Bible in Hebrew. My goal is your goal. Learn your target langauge and be able to read, speak, listen and understand.My teaching material

Tutto benissimo, vorrei fare qualche prova in più come raccomandato da voi per scegliere insegnate, ma per il momento Rachael Alice sarebbe una buona scelta.

Very interesting session. Rachael has a lot of knowledge and I found our discussion very helpful for my reflections (academic writing). I was impressed as in our first session we immediately went further than I thought! Looking forward to our next session. Thanks a lot Rachael!
