  • “Bayit” means Home

    Ulpan Bayit is located in a spacious loft in the heart of Tel-Aviv, between Florentin, Rotchild and the Levinsky market. Ulpan Bayit is a home for all – our students are from all over the world, either as tourists, foreign students or new immigrants.

  • “Bayit” means Home

    We hold monthly community events for our students, their friends and their relatives – from Hebrew Karaoke parties, through our famous “Help your partners learn Hebrew” event, to Israeli movies with English subtitles on big screen.

  • “Bayit” means Home

    All of our classes are small and cozy. Students sit around one table, in a lesson which is more of a continuous dialogue between the teacher and the students. Most of the elements inside the Ulpan are labelled with the name in Hebrew – a nice idea to try at home!

    All of our teachers are certified Hebrew as a Foreign Language teachers. The entire Ulpan team is actively learning a language all the time as a group in order to remember how it feels to be a language student. We just finished level A of Russian, and now we are studying Arabic!

Ari F.

Gimmel Student

“Ulpan Bayit was one of the best language learning experiences I’ve had. It’s hard to overstate how much I learned and how much fun the learning experience was. Yaron and his crew are are a bunch of very fun, very talented Hebrew teachers, not to mention very friendly people. If you’re planning on being in Tel Aviv for an extended period of time — regardless of your Hebrew level — you should check out some classes, because you will learn a lot very quickly.”

 

Patricia B.

Aleph+ Student

“I learned the whole aleph bet in less than 3 weeks with zero knowledge prior to this class! At first it’s challenging but giving up is never an option. Once you see it all the way through, you will get results with your Hebrew. I am looking forward to continuing learning Hebrew here and I encourage everyone to learn Hebrew in this institute because of it’s fast paced and wondrous teachers.”

 

Stephanie L.

Aleph+ Student

“Ulpan Bayit is an amazing place to study Hebrew. Yaron’s teaching style is fast-paced, interactive, fun, and most of all, I’m learning so much SO quickly. Having studied for 6 weeks at Ulpan Gordon, I can say that you can’t even compare”

Frequently Asked Questions

What do you offer?
Hebrew classes for all levels, in short fast paced Hebrew courses.
How are you different?
We are not going to waste your time. Our courses are short and efficient. You don’t have to commit to 5-6 months in a row, but can learn for a while, take a break, and join us again. We are checking every students level to make sure we have balanced classes, and our main focus is pedagogics. We LOVE to teach and we KNOW how to do it!
Are you a municipal Ulpan?
Absolutely not – we are not limited by the ministry of education, and therefore we can create our unique atmosphere: our Hebrew courses are limited to 8-12 students and we don’t involve religion and ideology in classes. We purely teach Hebrew, in the best way possible.
What are you prices?
Our price is about 33 NIS per 45 minutes (learning unit) – which is the standard price for language courses in Israel. A course consists of 60 to 80 learning units, and costs 2000 or 2500 NIS accordingly. Books usually cost another 100 NIS, and go with you to 2-3 courses.
How do you know how to teach?
We are a group of highly skilled and experienced Hebrew teachers. We are all certified by the Hebrew University in Jerusalem program for Teaching Hebrew as a Foreign Language.
Who is your average student?
It’s hard to say we have such a profile – we have many people from all around the globe and a very international atmosphere. Many of our students are partners of Israelis who came to Israel, embassy workers and other types of international workers, exchange students, new immigrants and people who just want to study Hebrew.
