One on One Hebrew Prayer Tutoring

Should you want your child to have a one-to-one Hebrew Prayer tutoring session and they do not have documented differentiated learning needs, there is a fee of $1000, which will cover the entire year of 30 sessions. One-to-one tutoring is only offered for zoom tutoring.
