Note:
The video on my profile is a bit outdated (it's from 6 years ago!). I’m working on a new one, so stay tuned!
Shalom! I'm Itay Dafan, a 29-year-old Hebrew tutor from the Tel Aviv area, now living in Houston, Texas. I hold a Bachelor's in Political Science and International Relations and am currently studying Computer Science.
I speak English fluently, having lived in the USA for four years, and I also speak Italian and basic Spanish.
When I'm not teaching, I enjoy sports like skiing, bouldering, weightlifting, and jetskiing. Fun fact: I published a book on military service in Israel!
Moi en tant que professeur
I’m passionate about teaching Hebrew and making the learning process both fun and practical. Whether you're a beginner or looking to improve your skills, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
I take an informal, relaxed approach to teaching. My journey as a Hebrew tutor started when I began helping friends from around the world as a hobby. What started as a fun way to share my language and culture eventually grew into a part-time job, and I’ve loved every minute of it.
If you're looking for a supportive and engaging learning experience, I’d be thrilled to work with you!
Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
I tailor my lessons to each student’s needs and learning style. Whether you're a beginner or looking to improve, I make learning Hebrew practical and enjoyable. I use a variety of materials, including audio clips, videos, real-life situations, and phone calls with native speakers to help you build confidence and fluency. We’ll also discuss current events, cultural topics, and practice everyday conversations. I create a calm, supportive environment where you can comfortably make mistakes and ask questions. Can’t wait to see you in class!

Itay is very good at anticipating my questions, and in explaining minor grammatical or vocab points. I also like how he can speed up and slow down his speech in Hebrew to help my aural comprehension.

I really had a nice first lesson with Itay. He is very sincere, helpful and tenderhearted. He listened to what I wanted and used it as a starting point, and then he was prepared with resources to take me from that starting point onward. Even though I was struggling quite a bit, he constantly affirmed me for what I did right. I liked Itay's teaching style and will want to sign up for more classes.

I really enjoyed my first lesson. I learned a lot in a short time and had a lot of fun in the process. I learned a lot of new vocabulary.
I enjoyed going through the lyrics of a popular Israeli song. It’s a fun method.
The lesson started on time. Itay also gave me recommendations and resources so I can learn more on my own.
I look forward to more lessons with Itay in the future.
