    My Story

    Ever since I was a child, people told me I would become a teacher. Teaching has always been a part of me, starting from my role as an artillery sergeant in the IDF. Over the years, I’ve taught various subjects, but my true passion lies in the Hebrew language, and perfecting it has led me on extraordinary journeys.

    My journey of teaching began in the 1990s when I found myself teaching Hebrew to the Royal Air Force in the UK. I also taught Hebrew to those converting to Judaism, deepening their love for Israel along the way. My teaching journey has taken me to numerous countries, including Israel, Italy, Greece, Portugal, France, and Luxembourg. From online classes to elementary, middle, and high school students to young and older people who follow their dream to join the IDF and need to improve their Hebrew, I am there for them. In every place, I’ve encountered young and old alike eager to learn Hebrew.

    What sets me apart is my deep love for the Hebrew language and the incredible journey Iโ€™ve embarked on with my family. Weโ€™ve crossed countries, seas, and continents, and everywhere we went, I shared the magic of the Hebrew alphabet, words, sentences, songs, and stories. My son has inherited my passion for languages and speaks five fluently, while my French husband speaks Hebrew with a charming French accent.

    I love teaching with enthusiasm and passion, and I eagerly look forward to meeting students of all ages who wish to learn Hebrew with me. There’s magic in learning a new languageโ€”the joy of watching curious children pronounce sounds, read letters, form sentences, and read stories with excitement. Together, we celebrate their success and the delight of reading, exclaiming, “I did it! I can read!”

    Join me on this magical journey of learning Hebrew, where every lesson is an adventure and every word is a discovery.
