I have a Master's degree (an MSW) in Social Welfare and Bachelor's Degree in Communications & Public Policy from UC Berkeley. I also obtained Certificates of Completion in Addiction Studies and Child Development from Los Angeles Pierce College.

As a native English speaker, I went to Hebrew School and graduated Hebrew High School. I traveled to Israel on a 10 week summer Ulpan and again over successive summers. My Hebrew was getting noticeably better with each trip to Israel I completed my first two undergraduate years entirely in Hebrew at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel, I finished a few intensive, advanced Hebrew classes to further improve my Hebrew. I spoke more and more Hebrew to family and friends as my Hebrew was improving. and my fluency increased.

For over 10 years I taught Hebrew at several Hebrew Schools, Day Schools, Language Schools, and a private Secular School (a Waldorf elementary school). Grade levels (pre K through college) ages (preschool to adult) and skill levels (beginner to advanced) varied I prepared and taught many dynamic and engaging lessons and classes in both Modern Hebrew (reading, writing, and speaking) and Biblical Hebrew (prayer, blessings, Bible/Torah text study, Bar/Bat Mitzvah preparation).

I prepared and taught fun, engaging, inspiring Hebrew lessons to children in preschool, elementary, middle & high school, young adults in college, and to adults. In addition, I have taught and tutored students with autism, learning disabilities, behavioral problems, and mental health challenges. I often adapted lessons to accommodate their unique individual learning needs and styles and to encourage their "hands on" participation. I facilitated many engaging Hebrew lessons and provided extra support to young and old, gifted, average, and high to low achieving students.

With first hand experience learning Hebrew from the "ground up" and building upon my own acquired skills and fluency, I developed patience, and understanding that was rooted in my own experiences as a Hebrew

Linda was really great

We talked about Hebrew , the structure of a Bat Mitzvah, and how my daughter might want to approach and prepare for that wonderful day. We were very impressed with her knowledge and experience. We look forward to meeting with her next month. Thanks Linda

Bat Mitzvah Tutoring

Linda is currently helping my daughter prepare for her Bat Mitzvah; she is very knowledgeable and patient. It's only been a couple of sessions and my daughter already feels less anxious and more excited about her upcoming big day! I highly recommend Linda as a Hebrew tutor.

Great Tutor

Linda has been easy to work with, flexible, and reliable. She has helped my child raise her grades. My child has improved with her skills and attributes this to Linda's help. I would recommend her as a tutor if your child needs some extra support with Hebrew.
