Home - Hebrew Courses with Ha'More Matan: online or in-person in London

My name is Matan and I'm an Israeli Hebrew teacher with year of experience, and a peace activist.

 I am the Hebrew teacher of thr SOAS University of London Language Centre.

Focus on Culture and Politics
I teach in a variety of methods, including speaking, listening, reading and writing. I include music and series in my lessons, and I have special courses focusing on Israeli society, culture and music.

Small Groups
I teach in small groups, and I have really speacial students from different backgrounds, and there's a unique dynamique and bond in each group.  
Affordable prices
It's important to me to keep the prices affordable to everyone even though the market prices are much higher. 250£ for a 20 hours course means 12.5£ per hour!

I provide discount for students and for those who need it, so please of you need a discount because of any situation do tell me and don't let money impede your Hebrew learning! 
My eperience
In the past, I have taught in many Hebrew schools, including Eteacher (Rosen Hebrew School), Ulpan Kibbutz and the acclaimed Ulpan Bayit in Tel Aviv. 

One of the greatest thing as a Hebrew teacher is to know my students... Somehow, really interesting and diverse people get to join my groups, so there is a very friendly and funny dynamic created in each of  them...! So when you contact me to assess your level, also ask about the students in your destined group because this is really important, and will motivate you to learn and grow together!

Here are some of my students gathering (and 1 on 1s) I had in London, and below ae some students videos:

Private Lesson Online שיעור פרטי אונליין

Price: 60£ per hour*

For people who benefit better from 1 on 1 lessons, I offer privates. It is definitely not as affordable as my groups (which is about 16£ per hour), but for some students it works better: either because you might need Hebrew for a professional reason (research, translation) or you simply want to have privates and you can afford it. If you're a student or need a discount for ehichever reason, I can provide that, of course.

I'm very happy with my Hebrew lessons with Matan!He makes every lessons interesting and engaging. Great teacher who always inspires you and leaves you with positive feeling for the rest of the day!I recommend it and encourage you to try it😊

Veronica Llorente

Intermediate 2, October 2021

Really happy to have found Matan as a Hebrew teacher. I had tried Hebrew lessons before, but the online classes with Matan made the learning process more appealing to new learners. The classes are dynamic and cover all aspects of a language; grammar, new vocabulary, comprehensive reading and writing; all that surrounded by a great atmosphere. Truly recommended! ;)

Jérôme Frankfurt

Private lessons, since May 2020

Matan is a very friendly and competent teacher. He provides clear and dynamic lessons, adapting to where you start from. I particularly like the way his lessons embed all the communication competencies (reading, writing, oral understanding and speaking). The Modern Hebrew he teaches is obviously the one is use in Israel today and not one from outdated books (languages evolve quickly don't they?). If you look for a teacher to learn from scratch or improve your Hebrew skills, I would warmly recommend Matan!

Rohini Bakshi

Beginners1 Intensive, August 2020

Matan is patient and makes sure all the students understand what he is covering before he moves on. He has a sense of humour and makes learning fun. However, the intensive courses are just that: 'intensive'. So be prepared for a brisk pace. I've learned a lot in a very short time - and credit goes to his teaching methods.

Students from SOAS

Beginners 1,2,3, SOAS University Language Center

My students from Language Centre, SOAS University of London are the BEST הכי טובות!!They don't stop surprising me with מתנות! But, there's one letter (and student) missing - which letter is that??? This question is EASY!

Nathan Eddy

Intermediate 3, January 2022

I've studied Hebrew with Matan for 7 months now and can't recommend him highly enough. Matan manages to make the lessons informative but, crucially, also fun -- drawing on music, Israeli culture, and the life experiences of other students. I have had other excellent Hebrew teachers over the past 5 years, and Matan is among the best. I teach Biblical Hebrew and recently earned a PhD in Hebrew Bible and am aware how hard it can be to make language learning socially interactive; Matan does this naturally.

Will I have homework?

Yes, repetition is an essential part of learning a new language. You are not obligatedto do your homework, but it will improve your learning substantially if you do.Homework will be sent via the WhatsApp course group, which will also be used forsharing audio files and any additional material. If you do not use WhatApp, you canask to be sent the homework via e-mail.
