About Me
italki teacher since Sep 29, 2023Interest topicReadingTravelPets & AnimalsFoodFilms & TV Series
My name is Reb Noyekh (or Noah Barrera in goyish). I'm a career Yiddishist and language enthusiast, currently teaching at the YIVO-Center for Jewish Research. I love the language and culture of Yiddish and am passionate about passing it on to the next generation! For me, the best teacher is a life-long student. I'm currently learning Spanish and Hebrew. I've also been learning the piano! I'm also meshuggah about traveling and meeting new people! The farthest place I've been to is Australia where I met all sorts of Yiddish speakers! We're everywhere! And I held a koala and pet a dingo! They're so cute.Me as a Teacher
I'm fun and relaxed, as well as very enthusiastic and passionate! I love to make students laugh with my Yiddish antics. I'm determined for my students to succeed! I love having conversations about all sorts of topics! I love teaching all ages. My students have ranged from 11 to 92!My lessons & teaching style
I stress the importance of conversation. I speak mostly in Yiddish and use English only when necessary and requested. I teach grammar thoroughly and clearly. I absolutely love teaching Yiddish literature! I'll customize the lessons to you as we get to know each other. Take a trial lesson!My teaching material

Shkoyekh R' Noyekh! I basically speak Yiddish (c1) and I could tell that Reb Noyekh is fluent and a grammar expert.
He was able to switch seamlessly from conversation to grammar lesson and back again. Very understanding, not patronizing at all. Highly recommend

I was Reb Noyekh's first student on italki, and what a welcome surprise it was, since I had taken lessons with him in person 4 years prior! It's really a small world out there. The lesson was great and I plan on continuing with him.

Ma première vraie leçon avec Noyekh aujourd'hui et je suis super contente ! Un professeur aussi sympathique que sérieux et qui donne envie de travailler et de progresser. Vivement ma deuxième leçon !

My lessons with Reb Noyekh are great. He’s very clearly a competent Yiddish speaker and teacher. He’s very focused on making sure his students are achieving their goals. I’m quite pleased!
