Personal Description:
Shalom!
I am a native Hebrew speaker with an Israeli Teaching Certificate. I hold a PhD degree from SOAS, University of London, and my dissertation focused on Israeli society, the Israeli diaspora, and diasporic Hebrew. I am the author of the Hebrew learning book Hebrew for All (Haifa: Pardes, 2020), which offers a modern and feminist approach to the study of the language. Apart from teaching, I am also an author, and I published my first book in Hebrew in 2016.
I'm a friendly, organized, and motivating teacher with more than 10 years of experience (in Israel, the UK, and Germany, in schools, after-school programs, and universities, and online with students from Russia, Canada, and the UK).
I currently teach only online via Zoom. It works great and even saves time commuting :) I offer a 30-minute free trial lesson.
I also offer a 10% discount for students who sign up for 10 classes in advance.
Teaching Experience:
I started teaching during my national service, and I was teaching Hebrew to Palestinian kids in Lod and to migrants in South Tel-Aviv. I later gained a teaching diploma from the "Kibbutz Seminar College" in Tel Aviv. After moving to London to study for my PhD at SOAS, I have had the opportunity to teach academic courses as a Teaching Assistant at the university. I also worked part-time teaching Hebrew at the New London Synagogue. I worked there with kids in a Sunday school, and with adults going through the Conversion to Judaism Hebrew program. In the past 4 years, I have mostly been tutoring privately, and I am enjoying it immensely. You are more than welcome to try a free trial class with me.
Teaching Approach:
I strongly believe in learning while using materials and topics related to the students, which is why I prepare different classes and different reading materials for each student. You will not need to buy an expensive Hebrew book; I will provide all work materials.
I always have a first meeting or talk with my students, understanding where they stand, what their level is, and why they need Hebrew (for research? for family? religious reasons?)… I then structure my classes based on the students' needs and objectives.
If you choose to start a Hebrew course with me, you will be required to do homework each week and dedicate yourself to learning. A new language requires time and commitment!

Very helpful
only good things to say… many thanks,
Jean
You made lessons extremely worthwhile and enjoyable. This has helped to re-kindle the passion I have for learning.
I am very confident that I will progress and achieve fluency
I strongly recommend Hila as a teacher
I have seen a definite improvement in my spoken Ivrit and my confidence, which is really important. I would certainly recommend Hila as she is a really fun teacher, flexible and patient.
My children like her. She is very patient and I feel that my children have learnt a lot over the months. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a Hebrew tutor.
