Hello! My name is Jeffrey (Yaakov) Lasson.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, Master's degree in Jewish Education as well as Rabbinic Ordination - all from Yeshiva University in New York.
I am also a Board Certified Chaplain.

I enjoy helping students thrive in Judaic Studies via a range of modalities, including videos, worksheets and games. I have tutored students from around the country in Rabbinics, Bible studies (Old Testament), as well as English literature & composition. These are all subjects I have a personal passion for, as well, which comes across in the tutoring.

Students and their parents have been impressed with the personal approach I provide students in planning their lessons or tutoring sessions. To this end, I have tapped into various online educational resources to help students succeed. I have also taught Elementary and Middle School students in Day Schools & Hebrew Schools across the country. Having been a tutor, teacher, and parent of current school students has given me a wife view of the educational experience from different angles

I look forward to helping you and your child succeed! Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Approved Subjects

Bar Mitzvah

Bar Mitzvah

I have taught Bar Mitzva lessons on and off for the past 20 years, both in person and virtually. The lessons included reading from the Torah, but I have also helped students write their speeches as well as understand the material that they will be chanting from in the Torah and Haftara.
Bible Studies

Bible Studies

Since the age of 5, I have been studying the Bible and its commentaries, primarily focusing on the Old Testament (5 Books of Moses). I have taught the Hebrew Bible in Hebrew/Sunday School, Day School as well as to adults - all around the US. [I am not familiar with The New Testament]. I am familiar with simple meaning of the text as well as the deeper explanations, as well. Please reach out for more information and I look forward to helping you deepen your study of the Bible.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

Through an online platform, I have tutored E.S. & M.S. students in various subjects including Math and English. I have taught Judaic Studies to 4/5 grade students, as well. Helping students succeed in their studies in a passion of mine; I believe every student possesses knowledge in various arenas, even outside of the traditional school-based way of thinking of things. I have a Masters degree in (Jewish) Education, as well.
English

English

I have a BS in Psychology and an MS in Education. I wrote many college and grad-school level papers over the years in the fields of literary analysis, philosophy and education. I’ve been told I have a solid vocabulary due to my love of reading. I have a knack for understanding what the student needs to know to help guide them towards better comprehension and composition. I was a classroom teacher for a few years but working with students 1:1 was always my favorite aspect of pedagogy.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I have taken post-grad Public Speaking courses as well as the Dale Carnegie Seminar for Public Speaking. As a Rabbi, I have gotten up in front of congregations, as well as friends and family, to deliver lectures, classes and sermons of all types. I would love to share some tips not only of the actual speaking, but the writing of the speech itself. Some people prefer a written-out text, while others feel more comfortable with notes/bullet points. I can help you feel confident and ready to deliver a great speech! Please reach out for more info.
Religion

Religion

I am quite knowledgeable in Judaic Studies, including Tanach (Bible), Talmud (Gemara), Jewish Law & Philosophy, having studied these subjects for the past 25 years. I continue to deliver classes on these subjects as well at my local Synagogue.
Writing

Writing

I took Multiple College English Lit and Composition courses. I have a love for reading; my nose is constantly in a book. Some of the articles I have written have been published as online blog posts.
