Roman was born and grew up in the USSR (now Russia). At age 17 he made Aliyah and moved to Israel. Roman had wanted to be a teacher since he can remember. His childhood dream came true, and for about 20 years Roman has had an educational career in Israel, teaching History, Hebrew, and Civics in Middle school and High school.
I enjoy teaching kids of all ages and love seeing them progress as they learn the Hebrew language, and learn to appreciate the culture and history of Israel. I like to teach in a way that fosters experiential learning and believe this is the way to instill the love of the Hebrew language in my students. I look forward to meeting you in my class!
I have been a tour-guide and Jewish educator since the days of my IDF service. I hold a masterโs degree in Israeli studies and specialized in modern history. I have a middle school and high school teaching certificate from Bar-Ilan University, as well as a certificate in teaching Hebrew as a second language from Kiryat Ono College. I teach at a Hebrew (Sunday) school in my community in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
I was born and raised in Israel where I received my Bachelorโs in Special Education from Seminar HaKibbutzim, and graduated with honors. During my time serving in the Israeli Defense Force, I was promoted to a position where I taught Commanders essential teaching skills. I have been living in the USA for 14 years and have 10 years of Hebrew and Judaic studies teaching experience in grades K-8.
