"The school organized a private teacher for my one week stay in Tel Aviv. She was an excellent teacher, and I really improved my Hebrew within one week of intense teaching and practice."

Dana M Schmidt-Krayer, student from Germany

Because I was only in Israel for a week I received a private teacher in her home. We went out shopping and to restaurants so I could practice Hebrew in real life situations. I really enjoyed this week of learning and hope to have the opportunity to do it again.
I did not care for the arranged housing so I booked my own arrangements.

Dana, so happy to hear that you felt the impact on your Hebrew skills and combined 1-1 lessons with immersion excursions. The high holidays period limited the number of study days in the week you chose and our instructor extended study hours to compensate for a shorter study week.
If we had known while you were here that there was an issue with the accommodation, we would have addressed it immediately.

"Old school teaching for a high price"

Talia Segall, student from USA

The classes were held in the home of a private teacher. The teacher was extremely nice and a decent teacher based on traditional methods. I was quite surprised because the program was sold to us based on the idea that a teacher would be taking my daughter around Tel Aviv and teaching her through conversation about what they were seeing and experiencing.
While the teacher was extremely sweet, she had no knowledge that this was part of the program, nor did she even know where my daughter was referred to her from.
The classes were extremely expensive. If I had known that the classes were to be taught in a traditional manner, I never would have chosen this program.

Leigh Smith, student from USA

I stayed in a hotel and cannot comment on anything but the quality of my instructor. For this reason, my rating below is a three regarding everything except my instructor.

"Great experience!"

Vanessa Kurz, student from Germany

I had a private course in Tel Aviv with my teacher Kim. She was very flexible, made me feel comfortable and it was really fun to learn from her. Even though it was only one week, I feel like I have learned a lot.

I can highly recommend Lirom and teacher Kim!

"Didn't attend the centre"

Mike Haberfield, student from Australia

Met teacher Shay at cafes.
Shay is very personable.
He provided me with excellent exercises to complete as homework.
He also wrote notes in front of me to explain grammar
We also spent time only talking in Hebrew, despite my limited vocabulary.
This gave me some confidence in my ability to learn and speak.

"Amazing experience"

Monika Maleckova, student from Czech Republic

Everything was absolutely awesome and I have nothing bad to say about anything. My experience with the school and the teacher was great; Shay made sure that I learn as much as possible and even though I often had a lot of work to do I very much enjoyed it and found it very helpful and useful. Location, facilities and housing were without any kind of problem or complaint from my part, it was just great and pleasant.

"I learned a lot in a fun and efficient way."

Anna Schönenbahc

I studied Hebrew with my personal teacher for those days in her apartment. The course were three hours a day for four days. Her apartment was in the center of Tel Aviv and really good to reach so it was very convinient. Kim, my teacher was very nice and competent. She learned with me through spoken word and work sheets wich helped a lot to learn writing and reading. She always made me feel comfortable and helped me, but also pushed me which was very good. There was not a thing I can think of which I did not like. I feel like I know a lot more about the language and can make some very simple conversations.

"I was totally satisfied and look forward to go back next year!"

Maria Victoria Simon Gonzalez

My teacher, Shay, was extremely kind and professional. The lessons were very well adapted to my level and I am pleased with the progress made. I stayed in a hotel at Allenby, near the beach, which enables me to go throughout the city, mostly walking, with no problems. Of curse the weather was fine! A happy experience!

"Very good and nice teacher who had a lot of experience."

Jakoba Inama, student from Austria

I've been in Tel Aviv for three weeks and I took a language class in Arabic with my teacher Elie Naaman. It had been my first attempt in this language, I really started at zero. Elie was really nice and after only a few hours of studying together I already felt like I was getting better in Arabic. At the end of my visit in Tel Aviv I really learned a lot, thanks to the help of my teacher. He was also very spontaneous, we often meet at the campus and also in cafes close to the place where I stayed. For me it was the perfect holiday, accompanied with a lot of fun in learning a new language.

"Excellent course!"

Emmanuelle Sirat, student from France

This is the first time I had a Hebrew course in Israel, especially a one-on-one.
My teacher, Shay, is very knowledgeable, patient and very nice!
I stayed in a studio in the center of Tel Aviv that allowed me to move around easily to see family and friends.
The progress I made in 2 weeks is considerable!
The system "turnkey" was planned in advance by Lirom which allows us to think not only lessons but also leisure upon arrival!

Do not hesitate a moment to contact Lirom for your language courses!

"Learning Hebrew in Tel Aviv"

Maria de los Angeles Lopez Montero, student from Spain

This was my first class ever in Hebrew. I had a one to one class with my teacher Shay. The classes were very good and Shay was an excellent teacher, very knowledegeable and very patient. The lessons fullfilled my expectations and my objective, which was to get a "push" to start learning Hebrew. To attend my classes, I went to a flat which was 20 minutes from the place I was living at, so it was nice that it was so close.

I loved Tel Aviv, although it was awfully hot at this time of year. I lived in an apartment right off Dizengoff Square, in a beautiful Bauhaus building, 10 minutes from the beach.

"My experience was amazing!"

Anna Chang

I had an excellent experience with Lirom Language Center. My teacher Gil was very educated, patient, and easy to get along with. He came to every lesson on time and well prepared with relevant material and a positive attitude. I can honestly say I looked forward to each and every lesson and finished them feeling extremely satisfied. In the short two weeks I feel like I learned so much with material far more complex than I had even imagined. I loved the structure of the book we worked out of because it got us to a much higher level of speaking at a very rapid yet understandable pace. Gil's teaching methods of drawing grammar and structural connections to Hebrew as well as encouraging us to make associations for the vocabulary to help with memorization was really helpful. Gil created a very comfortable and fun learning environment, helping guide us through our mistakes while celebrating our small victories. Going out onto the streets and trying to practice our Arabic was both enriching and validating as well as a nice break from the intensity of our book work. Overall, I got a very good impression of the Lirom Language Center and would love to come back and learn more!

"Lirom really takes care of their students. They try to organize everything so that you can have a great stay."

Julia Traar, student from Austria

I had a private course in Tel Aviv. My teacher lives next to my apartment so it was really comfortable to reach her.

My teacher was really great. Absolutely an amazing teacher! I really learned a lot although I just stayed for one week.

The lessons took place every day for two hours (she was very flexible with what time I want the lessons to take place).

I can highly recommend Lirom!
