A good tutor accelerates your progress dramatically — but picking the right platform matters. Here is an honest breakdown of what works and what to skip.
Preply
I have personal experience with Preply as both a teacher and a student, so this recommendation comes from both sides of the table. The platform has a wide range of Hebrew teachers at different price points, from budget community tutors to professional instructors. Trial lessons let you test a teacher before committing to regular sessions.
Discount: New students get 30% off their first lesson — a good way to try a teacher with less risk.
Find a Hebrew Tutor on Preply →Italki
Italki is a solid, stable alternative to Preply. As of 2024–2025, Hebrew teachers are well represented on the platform and easy to find. The pricing tends to be slightly lower than Preply on average, and the platform has a long track record for language learning.
Bonus: New users receive $10 in credits after making their first purchase.

The search algorithm appears to surface certain tutors repeatedly while hiding others, which makes it harder to find the right fit. Users have also reported intrusive notifications and pop-ups that disrupt the experience. There are better options.
Finding a Teacher Locally
If you prefer in-person lessons, two approaches tend to work:
- 1. Post a request in a local Facebook city group. Be specific about what you're looking for. Exercise caution and meet in a public place first — scams do exist.
- 2. Search Google for "Hebrew teacher in [your city]" — you'd be surprised how many local tutors have websites or listings that don't show up on the big platforms.
