Jeff "worked with both of my kids ,and each came away with a sense of delight and wonder at the process. In addition, their skills at reading Hebrew, leyning, and understanding the Torah portion are really quite outstanding. We are so grateful to Jeff for his hard work and dedication and sense of humor throughout the process."
- Steve and Sara Brown, parents of Howie and Ellie Brown

“Jeff truly enjoys both the process and his pupils.  He is able to relate to his students and motivate them by infusing his own high expectations with the confidence to meet them.  Much to our surprise, our son was inspired to study on his own between lessons in order to be “ready” for his next lesson with Jeff.   Our son felt extremely well prepared and supported. Jeff was the perfect choice not only to prepare him for his Bar Mitzvah, but to give him a life-long skill-set.”
- Emily Lazar and Marc Cantor, parents

“Jeff supported me throughout the whole process of learning. He kept the sessions interesting and fun. Jeff knows a way to teach even when a student does not know much about Hebrew and learns new skills.  Overall, Jeff taught me more then just learning my parasha. He showed me a whole new side of my Jewish lifestyle and how I can incorporate it in my everyday life.”
- Ellie Brown, student (Bat Mitzvah, 2019)

“Tutoring for my Bar Mitzvah with Jeff was an amazing experience and one I am fortunate enough to have had. Jeff taught me the tools to leyn and to have confidence in my skills as a Torah reader. He instilled in me the ability to teach others what I know. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to have learned to read Torah from such a fantastic teacher.”
- Nate Baker, student (Bar Mitzvah, 2018)

“Rimon sat down with Jeff and immediately began making progress learning the Hebrew and trope. Jeff set up a fun and productive learning environment, which made it a no tears experience. Rimon was able to read the entire parasha (save one aliyah not ordinarily read by B'nai Mitzvot) and Haftarah with ease. I think it speaks both to Jeff's skill and Rimon's personality that never once did I need to nag Rimon to study - further, Rimon has chosen to continue reading after his Bar Mitzvah."- Sam, father of Rimon (Bar Mitzvah, 2019)
