Experience Summary
I have been studying Hebrew for almost 3 years, but my abilities are located between 5th and 6th year proficiency and fluency. I am trained and skilled in both Modern and Biblical Hebrew. I was selected to teach an intensive 3 1/2 week university Biblical Hebrew course for 4 hours a day this past summer. I have tutored a number of Modern Hebrew students over the past year so that they might improve in their speaking and writing abilities. I was chosen to be the leader of the men's Modern Hebrew Language Apartment at BYU where students were required to only speak in Modern Hebrew in order to develop greater language fluency. While there I cultivated and maintained Hebrew as the only language to be used in the apartment. I oversaw, taught, and corrected each residents Hebrew development so that they might become fully fluent in the language. I led the Hebrew Apartment from the beginning of the fall semester of 2013 to the end of winter semester 2014.
Teaching Style
I love to have fun and play games with my students! I believe that a fun environment allows students to become passionate about the subject matter and that it also enables them to grow and progress without feeling pressured or bored out of their minds.
My Hobbies
I love spending time with my wife and trying out new restaurants! Playing and watching soccer is one of my favorite things to do, especially if it involves the English Premier League. I also enjoy talking, meeting, and getting to know people from all walks of life.
