Maayan Glaser-Koren

San Jose, Cambrian area (near Campbell)

I am a certified teacher from Israel and I teach Hebrew classes at congregation Beth Am, Los Altos and Israel's culture and history at congregation Shir Hadash, Los Gatos.

I teach private classes and willing to open a 4 student group if interested.

I build my lesson plans in a way that introduce Hebrew in different ways. The emphasis is on learning modern Hebrew by talking, listening, writing and reading while having fun. I am a big beliver in learning through doing, therefore, the class includes activities in Hebrew, such as games, story time, conversation, crafts and videos.

In addition, I create lesson plans to fit with the student's personal level. Every child gets my full attention.
When a Jewish Holiday is around the corner, we will have a lesson plan related to the topic.

Each session is usually an hour long.
Rate depends on the amount of students in the class.
I am located in San Jose, Cambrian/ Campbell area.

"I highly recommend Maayan as a phenomenal Hebrew teacher. She is particularly talented at working with all ages. My three teen/tween kids love her because she is funny and “cool” and they always look forward to her lessons! She comes up with creative plans for every session, including cooking, arts and crafts, and all sorts of Hebrew games. We recently moved from Israel and I was worried that my kids would quickly lose their Hebrew. Now that Maayan is working with us, I’m confident that my kids will not only retain their Hebrew fluency, but also significantly improve it!" Heidi E., San Jose

"לא פשוט ללמד ילד בגיל חטיבת הביניים עברית ברמה בסיסית. מעיין מצליחה לאתגר את בני ובו בזמן להטמיע בו את אהבת השפה העברית. מעיין משקיעה מאוד בתכנון תכנית לימודים אישית שתתאים לצרכים ולדרישה של לקוחותיה הצעירים. תכנית הלימודים משלבת כתיבה, קריאה משחק ויצירתיות." Ilana A., Campbell
