Nurit Aviv

My name is Nurit, just like the red flower that blossoms in the Spring. And that of couse explains my Hebrew name, Aviv meaning Spring. I am born into a veteran Israeli family (nine generations in the country.) I live in Nesher, a small town close to Haifa and am a mother to two grown daughters. In 1995, I became acquainted for the first time with the subject of acquiring the Hebrew language through ulpan.
Before that time, I taught in High School administrative and secretarial studies at which point I received an offer that I couldn't refuse. I went through teacher's training courses and gained many tools and strategies how to help new immigrants to Israel best grasp the Hebrew language. I started teaching in ulpanim for adults and children together and I enjoyed every minute. My students achieved remarkable accomplishments in reading, writing and speech. Pretty soon, I had moved up the professional ladder and was responsible for the ulpan's computer program supervising 100 classes. I provided each class with enrichment sessions and even became involved with developing new computer lessons. I see in Hebrew instruction both challenges as well as a national responsibility. There is remarkable satisfaction in taking a student from a point where they know almost nothing to a level of fluency that my students use daily.
In addition to all that is mentioned above I have taught adults in language and reading comprehension used to help them complete academic degrees.
