**ACCESSIBLE HEBREW FOR ENGLISH SPEAKERS**
-->Hello! I am David. I’m in my mid thirties and I live in Baltimore, MD. One of my strongest interests is learning about all different kinds of people–their culture, career interests, lifestyle and hobbies.
-->As an American with a long standing interest in the Hebrew language, I understand the unique challenges of English speakers who want to study Hebrew.
-->Whether you have a cultural interest in the Hebrew language or you’d like to improve your Hebrew for scholastic or professional purposes, I am confident we can find the right medium and mode of study which works best for you!Me as a Teacher
-->As a teacher I try to be as much about the student as I can:
What specifically do you want to study? What are your particular areas of interest? How do you prefer to learn? What kinds of study materials really work for you?
-->By answering these questions we can tailor-make a Hebrew course that’s most beneficial for you!My lessons & teaching style
-->I try to make my Hebrew lessons as student-driven as possible. From the basics of learning to make words and sentences in Hebrew, all the way through achieving consistent hebrew dialouge between us, I tailor-make each lesson to the interests of the student.
-->Let's be creative together in finding ways for you to master your Hebrew! Maybe you prefer worksheets? Audio-Visual materials? Flashcards?
-->Choose the Hebrew you’d like to study and study it your way!My teaching material
