About Robert
I have tutored Hebrew off and on for just over 20 years, since studying it in college. I've tutored nine students in Hebrew, ranging from a first-grader currently to my college classmates to a senior citizen. I've helped several students do well in their Hebrew courses, and recently prepared one student for listening and conversing during an extended stay in Israel. Of the several subjects I teach, I gain some of my most positive student feedback for Hebrew. I began working with ESL students as a tutor in the University of Maryland's Writing Center as an undergraduate, and have since worked with several ESL students independently. I've developed a special rapport with non-native English speakers; having learned two other languages myself, I know what it's like to try to master a new language from scratch. I do what I can to simplify the challenge of learning one of the world's most irregular languages.

I studied French for four years in high school and Modern Hebrew for three years in college, and studied Biblical Hebrew on my own afterwards. I try to balance vocabulary and speaking/listening practice with grammar. I help my students get inside the language by discussing root meanings of words and words' connections with one another, and I like to use the Socratic method to challenge students to take the next step in learning to show them how much they already know.

Robert was consistently reliable, helpful, and creative in his teaching methods. I found him to be an excellent tutor who worked towards creating a lesson plan geared towards my strengths and spent extra energy on figuring out what connected material would be most interesting in order to maximize my learning.
Robert has been my English tutor for five years. First of all, he is an excellent tutor for conversation. When I came to the US, I was not good at speaking English, and was afraid of having conversation with Americans, who spoke so fast without taking care of my ability of English. But I find that Robert is so kind and approachable. Robert speaks English so clear, and he listens to me carefully and corrects my English moderately. His gentle character makes him a tutor like a friend. Also, his thoughtful expressions and profound knowledge make a conversation enjoyable. Speaking English with him is beneficial and fun.
Second, I believe that his strongest point is editing English. I have had some professional editors before I found Robert, but among them he is simply the best. Robert can provide a high quality of editing service, not only because he has a professional reading skill supported by his education and experience, but also because his broad knowledge and academic mind enable him to follow the argument even on the doctoral level. So far, Robert has edited my papers about politics, history, religion, and philosophy. He usually understands the argument first, and then points out the grammatical errors. I’m satisfied with his work. For he is not a mere editor who improves the quality of my English; moreover, his comments and suggestions educate me how to write English and how to think like English speaking people.
I have already introduced Robert to some of my friends. All of them are satisfied with his ability as a tutor and impressed with his gentleness. I recommend him as an English tutor both to the beginners and to the one who needs a tutor for advanced level.See more recommendations
