Hebrew lessons: a guide for pros
What customers ask, how to win the job, and what to put on your profile.
Offering hebrew lessons
You teach Hebrew in Modern or Biblical form, covering the alphabet, reading, speaking and grammar. Your listing should name the form you teach and the goals you help students reach.
What customers ask
- Can you teach me to read Hebrew letters and vowel marks?
- Do you teach modern conversation, or only Biblical Hebrew?
- I am moving to Israel next year. What should I focus on first?
- How long does it take to read a simple text?
- Do you teach teens, and how do you handle a parent who wants to sit in?
How to win the job
- On the first call, ask whether the student needs Modern or Biblical Hebrew and what they want to read or say.
- Offer a short reading check and explain how it will set the order of the first lessons.
- Show a sample lesson built on a real need, such as a simple work message or a passage the student wants to read.
- Share a short example of a vowel and letter drill so the student sees your method.
- Put the form taught, lesson count, homework and re-check date in the quote.
- Say which parts of Hebrew you teach well, so students with a narrow goal can choose you.
What to put on your profile
- Your Hebrew training, such as a degree, a teaching certificate or time spent living or studying in Hebrew.
- Whether you are a native speaker or a trained second language teacher, and the form of Hebrew you teach.
- Photos of your teaching space or online set-up, with no student faces unless they agree.
- The learner types you work with, such as travelers, professionals or students of ancient texts.
- Reviews that name the goal and what the student achieved, once they agree to share them.
Follow-up that helps the customer
- After a level check, suggest a short plan with one clear goal and a date to re-check.
- Send a list of the letters, words and verb patterns covered in each lesson so the student can review them.
- Recommend a reading group or a conversation course when the student's goal fits, and let them decide.
Licenses and permits
No license is usually required to teach Hebrew privately. Keep your degree, certificate or references ready, and check your state and local rules for any business registration you need.
Questions
Do I need to be Israeli to teach Hebrew here?
Not usually. Students look for training, a clear method and the form of Hebrew you teach, so describe those on your profile.
Can I teach both Modern and Biblical Hebrew?
Yes, if you have the training for both. List each form separately so students can see which one you teach best.
