Services

Whether the student is brand new to Hebrew or looking to solidify knowledge from a class, this service will have anyone (my students range in age from 7-92) reading four-syllable words within six weeks of consistent lessons and practice. A fantastic service that provides a strong Hebrew reading foundation designed to meet your individual goals.
Using my unique visual and aural methods customized to each student’s individual learning style, I focus not only on teaching material in session, but on instilling practice skills, confidence, and poise that propels them to be successful in their assigned homework and on the bimah. These skills are transferable to endless other areas of learning and life. I am committed to meeting each of my students where they are. I have expertise working with students with ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia, OCD, Autism, and other learning differences.
Bar or Bat Mitzvah approaching—and your child needs extra help?
I offer intensive, personalized triage tutoring to help students catch up on chanting Torah, Haftarah, Hebrew reading, prayers, and blessings.
Together, we identify what needs attention and create a focused preparation plan, with one-on-one lessons, individualized recordings, annotated materials, and clear practice assignments.
Available nationwide via Zoom, with lesson frequency tailored to your child’s needs and timeline.
Maybe you didn’t have the opportunity to learn about Judaism as a child, or maybe you just want a refresher! Anything I can do to help you feel more comfortable in Synagogue (or any Jewish setting) I would love to help. This is a completely customizable service.

What People Are Saying

Whitney is a gifted educator who meets each student exactly where they are. I especially trust her with students facing tight timelines, learning gaps, or anxiety—she makes what feels impossible attainable, helping them reach their B’nei Mitzvah feeling capable, confident, and connected to their Jewish life.

— Cantor Sydney Michaeli, Cantor at Temple Rodef Shalom in Falls Church, Virginia

“Whitney Diamond is the best Hebrew tutor my son ever had. The way she laid it all out for us, and explained to him the process that she uses, helped him immeasurably in preparing for his Bar Mitzvah in the short time we had left. “Bar Mitzvah triage” is a real need, and Whitney’s calming and kind presence and professionalism saved the day for my whole family!! Thank you, Whitney! ”

— Katie, September 2025, UES of Manhattan

“Whitney is a truly gifted Bat Mitzvah tutor! Her expertise, thoughtfulness, and enthusiasm made preparing for this milestone such a positive experience. My daughter is dyslexic, so finding the right tutor was especially important to us. Whitney’s patience and encouragement helped her feel confident and well prepared. She looked forward to their weekly meetings and was more than ready for her service. We are so grateful for Whitney’s support and highly recommend her!”

— Faith, September 2026, Windward parent, UWS of Manhattan

“I cannot recommend Whitney enough. Our daughter was overly prepared for her Bat Mitzvah and never felt stressed throughout the entire process. Also, I never had to remind my daughter to study because Whitney takes care of making the schedule and staying on top of them. I’m happy to speak with anyone who is considering working with Whitney. You will not regret it!”

— Sarah, May 2024, Horace Mann parent, UES of Manhattan

“My first daughter had such a great experience with Whitney that we also decided to have our second daughter work with her when it came time to prepare for her Bat Mitzvah. Whitney was a fabulous tutor for both our daughters, who have very different personalities and learning styles. They both felt well prepared for their services, and Whitney knew how to combine the perfect amount of fun, structure, and confidence-building to make for a very smooth, seamless process. We have no hesitations in recommending Whitney and would be happy to speak with anyone considering hiring her.”
