Our Teachers
I’m Eli Gottfried. By training I’m a professional soil scientist. I have an MS degree in agronomy and an MS degree in Environmental and Public Health. I learned Hebrew as a child and have taught Hebrew one-on-one to many students over the past 10 years. I focus on conversational Hebrew – even for beginners. I look forward to working with students this year.
