Online Hebrew Tutors
Online Hebrew Tutors — Learn Hebrew from Home
One-on-one video lessons with certified native Hebrew speakers. Modern or Biblical Hebrew, right-to-left script tools, aliyah preparation — all without leaving your home.
Why Online Hebrew Lessons Beat In-Person
Israel & Diaspora Time Zones
Tutors span Tel Aviv (UTC+3), Jerusalem (UTC+3), New York (UTC-4), and London (UTC+1) — covering the major Jewish diaspora communities. Morning, evening, and Sundays are widely available.
Right-to-Left Script Online
Learning to read and write Hebrew from right to left is a unique challenge. Your tutor uses interactive whiteboard tools optimised for Hebrew script — tracing letters, connecting vowel points (niqqud), and building reading fluency step by step.
Modern vs Biblical Hebrew
Modern Hebrew (Ivrit) is the living language of Israel — colloquial, rapidly evolving, and richly tied to contemporary culture. Biblical Hebrew is the language of the Torah and academic scholarship. Your tutor will help you choose the right path — or combine both.
Aliyah & Israeli Citizenship
Making aliyah (immigrating to Israel) requires navigating the ulpan system, the Ministry of Interior, and daily life in Hebrew. Tutors who have personally gone through aliyah can fast-track the vocabulary you need from day one.
Lesson Formats
1-on-1 Video Lesson
Private 25- or 50-minute sessions. Your tutor builds a personalised syllabus around Modern Hebrew conversation, Biblical Hebrew, or aliyah preparation.
Group Class
Three to six learners at the same level. More conversation turns, lower cost, and a cohort for practising spoken Hebrew.
Script & Reading Track
A dedicated sequence for learning to read Hebrew script, including niqqud (vowel points), from complete beginner to independent reader.
Intensive Weekend
Six hours across Saturday and Sunday. Ideal for an aliyah vocabulary sprint, ulpan simulation, or Biblical Hebrew immersion.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an online Hebrew tutor cost?
Rates on Unox range from $14 to $55 per hour depending on the tutor's qualifications and speciality. That is well below the $65–$130 per hour typical for in-person Hebrew tutors in North America or the UK.
What is the difference between Modern Hebrew and Biblical Hebrew?
Modern Hebrew (Ivrit) is the spoken and written language of contemporary Israel — used in conversation, media, and business. Biblical Hebrew is the classical language of the Torah, Talmud, and Jewish liturgy. They share the same alphabet and many roots, but differ in vocabulary, grammar, and register.
Can I find a tutor for aliyah preparation online?
Yes. Tutors who have personally made aliyah or specialise in Israel immigration can teach the vocabulary for ulpan enrollment, Ministry of Interior appointments, rental contracts, and day-to-day life in Israel from the very first session.
Do I need to install any software for online Hebrew lessons?
No. The Unox classroom runs in any modern browser and fully supports right-to-left Hebrew text on the interactive whiteboard. A webcam and microphone are all you need.
Can I switch tutors after the first lesson?
Yes, there is no lock-in. Book trial sessions with multiple tutors and purchase a package only once you have found your ideal match.
