"I highly recommend Megan if you are considering learning Hebrew. She is a gifted teacher, passionate about Hebrew, very professional and personable, and easily accessible to her students. Because her classes are available for a lifetime, and can be done at your own pace, the investment for her class is well worth it. You can work your learning around your schedule. The platform she uses for her classes is also very fitting for the student who prefers in person education, as she does her classes live with the ability to communicate visually with her students. She is very thorough, and responsive, and the platform is simple to use, even for those not strong in tech skills. I would definitely encourage any who are on the fence with the decision of which Hebrew class to take online, to feel secure in their choice with Learn Hebrew Academy!"

"Megan was an excellent instructor providing plenty of opportunities to engage in active learning. The extra practice and review were helpful in moving forward with the course. She provided additional oral practice to help ensure we were pronouncing the words correctly."
