Connecting with tutors

A tutor can help with Hebrew, Gemara, academic subjects, or test preparation. WHERE TO FIND ONE • Ask your school. Teachers and advisors often know people. • Search community groups on Facebook and WhatsApp. • Check university notice boards. • Ask older students and alumni. TIPS • Be clear about what you want: subject, level, schedule, and goals. • Meet in person or online for a trial session. • Agree on the price, session length, and how you will pay. • Ask for references if you are not sure. • Choose someone who speaks your language or has experience with English speakers. GOOD TO KNOW • Rates vary. Learning from a student can cost less than from a professional. • Private lessons are easy to schedule around your classes. • Many tutors teach online, which widens your options. WATCH OUT FOR Do not prepay for many sessions. Pay as you go until you are sure.
