About

Welcome Home

I'm Maayan. Home for Hebrew started as just me, my students, and a stack of materials I'd written by hand. It's now a full curriculum used by learners, teachers, and communities in 14 countries. Whoever you are, we'd love to help make Hebrew feel a little less far away.

The method

A solid foundation

The curriculum follows a clear, step-by-step path through the language, built unit by unit so students always know where they are and what comes next. Their confidence grows alongside curiosity, and a they'll feel a sense of connection to Hebrew and its culture, through conversations, audio, and content that is relatable.

I wish I could teach everyone. Lucky for me, these wonderful people teach with the books, too.

I have been a Hebrew teacher for over a decade, with experience teaching at Ulpans and schools in Israel and New York City. I offer personalized Zoom and in-person lessons for adults at all levels, tailoring each class to the individual student's goals and needs. My approach engages students in real conversation from day one. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Education and a Master's in Social Work.

Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel

I have been teaching Hebrew for nearly a decade, based in Haifa as of recently, with experience at a private Ulpan in Israel, the Jewish community of Lisbon, and as a Hebrew instructor for graduate students at George Washington University. I hold a PhD in Cultural Studies with a focus on Israeli culture, and love connecting language and culture in her teaching. I believe Hebrew learning can be challenging at times, but also deeply enjoyable and rewarding. My classes are built around helping students speak and live in Hebrew from the very beginning.
