• The aleph-bet has 22 letters written right to left, plus five final forms. It feels strange at first but is quickly learnt.
• Nikud, the dots and dashes marking vowels, appear in beginner books but vanish from newspapers and signs.
• Three-letter roots (shorashim) link whole families of words, which makes new vocabulary easier to guess.
• Verb patterns (binyanim) need regular practice, yet they follow clear, predictable rules.

A tutor turns the tricky start into steady progress by tailoring each lesson to your level and goals.

In Thames Ditton, expect to pay about £14/h for a Hebrew lesson.

Several factors influence the price:

• The package you choose (one-off or regular)
• Where the sessions take place

Comparing several profiles helps you find the best value.

Theology students often compare them, and the verdict usually comes down to script versus grammar.

• The alphabet favours Greek, whose letters look familiar and read left to right, unlike Hebrew's right-to-left consonants.
• Familiar words help with Greek, since English borrows heavily from it; Hebrew offers fewer cognates beyond words like amen or hallelujah.
• Grammar: Greek nouns change endings across several cases and verbs combine tense, mood and voice, whereas Hebrew has no noun cases.
• Word building: Hebrew's three-letter roots make vocabulary easier to guess once you understand the system.

With one-to-one lessons, you tackle the hardest parts first and progress with confidence.
