Don't take our word for it. Read what Nurit's students had to say about their unique learning experience and results.
Nurit is a skilled professional. Her small classes, while welcoming and informal, incorporate the most up to date and effective teaching methods. Highly recommended!
Rhona Bennett
Nurit is an excellent, enthusiastic and very skilled Hebrew language teacher, who uses a variety of teaching methods in order to make her classes interesting and informative. Her curriculum is geared to the specific language levels of her students with a lot of interaction in the class. She is sensitive to the linguistic needs of her students and is always patient and accommodating to individual needs as well. I recommend Nurit's program to anyone interested in learning Hebrew or upgrading their language skills.
Miriam Diamond
Nurit is a professional ulpan teacher. Thanks to her I am learning how to speak conversational Hebrew, and I feel that I am progressing with every class. Nurit makes learning the language natural, and not at all difficult. I have wanted to learn Hebrew for a long time, and now, thanks to Nurit, I feel that I am finally progressing towards that goal. I would like to thank Nurit for her passion and dedication to her students.

If you are seeking a dedicated teacher who is dynamic, creative and who supports the goals and achievements of each student, I would encourage you to come and experience one of Nurit Zilberman's classes!
I have so enjoyed attending her classes and have progressed in my ability to speak and understand Hebrew. Nurit is an amazing teacher who has an innate ability to asses the learning style of each student and tailor her teaching methodology accordingly.
Some people are born to teach and Nurit is certainly one of them! Her engaging style and caring personality has made the lessons informative and interesting. Nurit's comprehensive program has helped me with my reading, writing and comprehension, and I have learned so much about Jewish history and Israel.
Thank you Nurit, you have certainly enhanced my enjoyment of the beautiful Hebrew language through conversation, work sheets, video clips, songs and creative writing.
אני כל כך שמחה שיש לי מורה טובה כמו נורית!
Lauren Duchen
Nurit loves to teach! I started classes with her in order to learn how to speak Hebrew. She has demonstrated an extraordinary skill to methodically build my knowledge of reading, writing, comprehension and grammar which are essential to being able to converse in the language. Her remarkable awareness of the individual progress of each student in the class makes each lesson personal.
I look forward to every lesson and am on my way to achieving my goal of being fluent in the language. The guidance is there, the rest is up to me!

I am 73 years old and would like to share that when I decided to learn this beautiful language -Hebrew – I did not know a word, did not know the alphabet, did not know how to read, write, or understand this language. I joined Nurit's classes. At 71 years old, and the oldest in the Group, I started with the ALPHABETH.
Today, October 2013, I am proud to say I speak Hebrew. I can read, write academically, converse and understand the language (when the Hebrew natives speak slowly). This is thanks to the professionalism and devotion of my Teacher Nurit. She always makes sure that we read fluently and understand every word, every expression. She is never in a hurry to close the books and go home. She never looks at the clock. The hours are always extended. I am proud to be her student. In my opinion, a good teacher, produces the best students.
Please come and join us at ULPANURIT. You do not have to go all the way to Israel. Israel comes to you at ULPANURITn in Canada.

This is my fourth year learning Hebrew with Nurit. I am so pleased with my progress as my vocabulary and grammar have increased greatly. We learn in a relaxed and comfortable environment where everyone is encouraged to participate. Nurit is a wonderful teacher – patient and persistent. Classes are so enjoyable that they are the highlight of my week! I love Ivrit with Nurit!
Freya Morrison
I have been studying Hebrew with Nurit for some time. She is an experienced and dedicated teacher, allowing students to progress at their own pace while making sure we are comfortably familiar with a segment of grammar/vocabulary/language before moving on to the next. While we are serious about learning, Nurit injects humour into our studies with Hebrew sidebars on life's moments and experiences. She is always ready to make a detour if one of us has a special occasion that we may want to share and takes the time to explain the event in Hebrew.
If you want to learn to speak Hebrew using correct grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation . . . and have fun doing it, then Nurit is the teacher for you!
Frances Halperin
I have been a student of Nurit Zilberman for over 2 years. I started as a complete novice – I could not read, write or speak Hebrew. After 2 years I can read and write, and can understand and speak some Hebrew.
Nurit has a wonderful methodology of teaching that is very systematic, and allows you to see results immediately, thus giving you confidence and enthusiasm to continue. She is very patient, and always goes above and beyond the requirements of a teacher.
I look forward to my Hebrew lessons every week, and I would highly recommend Nurit to anyone interested in learning Hebrew or to someone more advanced who wants to brush up on their Hebrew.
Denise Price
Like many Jewish Canadians, I learned Hebrew when I was a child.. I could read and write but not comprehend much. Later as an adult I tried again and again. But not until Nurit, was I able to actually converse and expand my comprehension. With a wide repertoire of techniques, if one approach doesn't work, she tries another and another until it clicks. She also provides invaluable insights and information about Israel.
I urge anyone who is serious about learning Hebrew to adopt Nurit as their teacher and Israeli guide.
Doris Strub Epstein, Co-Editor Shalom Toronto
I've been taking semi-private lessons with Nurit for about a year and a half – and she's great! She's consistent, funny and relevant. In class, we often spend time speaking in Hebrew about current events. She has a rich knowledge of linguistics and history so that when we speak about grammar we are able to learn about the roots and advance in our knowledge more quickly. What's great is that she's Israeli, so we really get used to hearing common Hebrew phrases spoken with an Israeli accent. Speaking with her reminds me of being in Israel and makes me miss being there! She's a great person and a great teacher.
I highly recommend taking classes with her!
Ronit Sochett
Trying to learn Hebrew outside of Israel can definitely be challenging!
After taking 4 years of University Hebrew and spending a term at ulpan in Israel, I wanted to keep developing my Hebrew. I tried online and tried another small class, but neither fit. Taking Hebrew lessons with Nurit has been a wonderful solution! Nurit is passionate about the Hebrew language and about teaching. Her approach is practical, modern, and interactive. I highly recommend Ulpanurit!

Together with two other students, I studied modern Hebrew with Nurit for about two years. My goal was to raise my Hebrew speaking skills to a level where I can fluently speak and write in Hebrew. I am well on my way there. Nurit is a very unique Hebrew teacher. Her teaching skills integrate fun classroom language games with other materials in order to make the learning experience interactive and fun. Nurit did an outstanding job to assess our level of Hebrew and then adapt every lesson in order to have us obtain the maximum benefit from it. Not only does Nurit teach Hebrew with excellence and passion, she also deeply cares for her students and makes us feel valuable and loved.
My language skill has now increased to a level where I can keep a good conversation going with Hebrew speakers. I can confidently approach my local Aroma Espresso Bar at Promenade Shopping Centre and order a coffee in Hebrew and enjoy a good conversation with the many Hebrew speaking customers there. I can wholeheartedly recommend Nurit to anyone out there looking for an excellent and caring Hebrew teacher.
