Your Torah Tutors Opens Girls Division

Your Torah Tutors, a new Chumash and Gemara tutoring service that is empowering dozens of students to become independent learners, is now opening a girls division after a full year of success.

At the end of last school year, the program celebrated the end of its first full year of helping dozens of children achieve success in the classroom.

Begun during the school shutdowns during the pandemic, the tutoring service for boys is offered by Chabad yungeleit to Yeshiva students around the world, helping them to master learning Chumash and Gemara on their own. The students have gained confidence and become enthusiastic in their abilities, enjoying a successful and productive year of growth in their learning.

Now, with the great success of the program, they have branched out to a girls division, directed by Mrs. Mushky Dubov from Bloomfield Hills, MI, who has many years of teaching experience.

The tutors use teaching methods that make learning fun and engaging, specializing in the use of their unique Gemara and Chumash flashcards for expanding vocabulary. Experienced and caring teachers guide and support students to develop expertise in vocabulary, grammar, and reading and understanding of the text, in both Chumash and Gemara.

The girls’ division will focus on strengthening students’ vocabulary, grammar, and reading and understanding of the Chumash text.

Tutors are carefully selected, all are warm, chassidishe role models who excel in their teaching techniques, sensitivity to your child’s needs, and commitment to their success.

The secret of their success is a 40-year-old tried and true Chinuch technique, developed by experienced educator Rabbi Shaul Klein to help even his most struggling students.

Rabbi Klein realized that drills and repetition weren’t effective for many of his students, and that he needed a learning technique that was more engaging, and that made it easier for students to review on their own. Armed with this insight, Rabbi Shaul Klein created unique flashcards that translate words using pictures – images that imprint themselves in a child’s minds more vividly than typical verbal translations. The results were dramatic: Rabbi Shaul Klein found that students using his flashcards could easily gain 5-7 new words a day with relative ease, and in a matter of months made tremendous strides in translating both Chumash and Gemara.

The program was adapted and expanded by the founder of Your Torah Tutors, after years of teaching kids with learning difficulties. He trained in the technique that enables the student, in roughly 4-6 months, to confidently open a Gemara and Chumash and learn on his own just as one of his peers. Several trained tutors have used this technique for many years, and it has already helped thousands of kids who have had difficulty learning.

The in-person method has now been adapted to be used effectively online through zoom, creating an online platform to make their services available for students aged 8 and up, regardless of location. The program is non-profit and reasonably priced.

An average student learns 3-5 times a week for half-hour sessions, a perfect amount of time to get comfortable and settle in their learning without overburdening them.
