Passionate Yiddishist and language enthusiast with years of teaching experience 🎉 My name is Reb Noyekh (or Noah Barrera in goyish). I'm a career Yiddishist and language enthusiast, currently teaching at the YIVO-Center for Jewish Research. I love the language and culture of Yiddish and am passionate about passing it on to the next generation! For me, the best teacher is a life-long student. I'm currently learning Spanish and Hebrew. I've also been learning the piano! I'm also meshuggah about traveling and meeting new people! The farthest place I've been to is Australia where I met all sorts of Yiddish speakers! We're everywhere! And I held a koala and pet a dingo! They're so cute. I'm fun and relaxed, as well as very enthusiastic and passionate! I love to make students laugh with my Yiddish antics. I'm determined for my students to succeed! I love having conversations about all sorts of topics! I love teaching all ages. My students have ranged from 11 to 92! I stress the importance of conversation. I speak mostly in Yiddish and use English only when necessary and requested. I teach grammar thoroughly and clearly. I absolutely love teaching Yiddish literature! I'll customize the lessons to you as we get to know each other. Take a trial lesson!

Reb Noyekh's is kind, attentive, and educated. He is extremely well versed in not only the Yiddish language, but also the culture, history, and dialogue that gets you there. As a singer, I recommend him deeply for dialect coaching. He is helping me find my voice in songs while staying true to the life of the piece. I am extremely grateful to have found him! If you are looking for a friendly and enthusiastic teacher that is flexible to your needs, you want to work with Reb Noyekh! A Dank, Lerer!

Shkoyekh R' Noyekh! I basically speak Yiddish (c1) and I could tell that Reb Noyekh is fluent and a grammar expert. He was able to switch seamlessly from conversation to grammar lesson and back again. Very understanding, not patronizing at all. Highly recommend

I enjoyed meeting with Reb Noyekh who was down to earth and easygoing. He appeared curious about learning from me as much as I was eager to engage in shmuesn which he accommodated. I look forward to further shmuesn with him.
