I would like to recommend the personal learning process I went through with Nofar. As a CEO of a company with dozens of employees and international operations, including meetings with suppliers and clients in English, I always felt helpless when a meeting with an English speaker was scheduled. I tried to avoid, postpone, or even cancel meetings, which was accompanied by feelings of fear, anxiety, and discomfort. I always looked for a colleague or manager to join me as a "lifeline" during the meeting. Today, after going through a personal process with Nofar over several sessions, I’ve gained the essential, practical tools that I needed to focus on. What we learned in school was nice for passing exams, but it didn’t give me the confidence to manage business meetings. The confidence to stand and speak without "getting stuck," not searching for a word in Hebrew and trying to translate it, the tone of speaking, and listening to the person in front of me (a very important tip) have advanced me significantly and given me the tools and confidence to move forward—just move forward in life. Simply don’t be afraid! NO FEAR.
Lior Shemesh: CEO, Interactive investments
Dear Nofar, I am very grateful for the warm recommendation I received from a friend who went through a similar process and suggested I meet with you to receive the guidance I needed to improve my English. We met after many years of me avoiding English and running away from anything that reminded me of it. English always created a sense of frustration and a real barrier for me in almost everything—whether in conversations with friends, traveling abroad, or at work. Now, after an important, meaningful, and demanding journey that was also enjoyable, fun, and welcoming, I can confidently say that my English has greatly improved—thanks to you. The personal connection, the adjustment to my level, the ease of the method, the important tips, the variety of exercises, and the constant encouragement—all of these together boosted my confidence and improved my English. Thank you for the journey, for the persistence, for not giving up on me, and for everything!! And most importantly—Never stop learning!! Thank you for everything, Erez.
Erez Atiya: Operations manager, Teva
I started a new job in an environment where it’s expected to operate in English. It was important to me to present myself professionally without stumbling over my words, so the focus would be on the content and not how it was delivered, and I would come across as a professional in my field. Since the process with Nofar, my confidence in speaking and writing to English speakers has greatly improved. I’ve learned new, relevant vocabulary for my role and have practiced presenting my work in broader forums and to key people in the company—feeling excited but not paralyzed as I used to be before working with Nofar. It still takes me a little time to "switch on" the English conversation mode, but after a few minutes, once my mind adjusts, communication becomes easier and more enjoyable. I find myself listening more attentively and not just worrying about how I sound or what people think of my English level. I’ve also become more comfortable with my writing. Beyond Nofar’s guidance, I’ve tried other platforms but didn’t feel I was getting the same value for the cost. Nofar's process is customized for each person based on their profession and English level. The study materials are so well organized and clear that it’s hard to go wrong. Everything is explained simply, and the focused approach is effective and convenient for each user, including homework practice. On top of that, she is professional, available, and attentive to her students’ needs, and within just a few lessons, she significantly enriches both knowledge and confidence. Thanks to her, I understood things I now use in my daily life, and practicing what I learned has led to real results and achievements. Most importantly, I enjoyed the time we spent together while learning—I highly recommend her!!!

Nofar, I have to tell you something personal. After years of letting fear control me and stop me from learning English, with constant thoughts in my head that I would never know the language and would have to settle for roles that don’t require it (knowing that the glass ceiling would be low as a result), I was fortunate that the Opportunity Center connected me with you (following the Data Analyst course I took with them). Suddenly, after just the third session, I found myself talking to myself in English, holding entire conversations in my mind (silently, of course 😉). Your unique approach has planted a seed of confidence and hope in me, which is an incredible achievement for me. The way you teach feels so clear and right. You are focused and precise in everything you choose to teach: expanding vocabulary (naturally explained in English only), teaching expressions, the right way to use verbs in sentences, correct pronunciation, and even what to say when you get stuck in the middle of a sentence and can’t find the next word—and so many other important things. All of this is done in an engaging and relaxed way that builds confidence, which encourages me to actively participate in class without being afraid of making mistakes. Since the start of the pandemic, I’ve taken many courses and I’ve learned to recognize when a teacher is truly special and highly skilled. I can already see the immense value you bring to me, and I’m confident that this will have a significant impact on my career moving forward. Thank you so, so much—endless appreciation and gratitude! 💗

I approached Nofar with the goal of improving my business English, especially in speaking. Nofar customizes her course for each and every one of her students, tailoring it to their level while setting achievable challenges in every session. She does this with professionalism, dedication, and, most importantly, always with a smile and patience. I really connected with her teaching method, and I highly recommend her! Thank you, dear Nofar :) ❤️
Rachel Hect: HR manager
I took part in an English course led by Nofar at the company where I work. Without a doubt, thanks to this course, I regained my confidence in speaking English and became more aware of the language. The course was conducted in a small group, with great attention to detail in its design. Throughout the course, we felt free to speak and converse in English, listen, read, and most importantly – present ourselves! There's no question that Nofar's encouragement helped me build confidence and improve my English. Beyond her professionalism, Nofar’s warmth made us want to attend, learn, and improve. Thank you so much, wishing you the best of success on your journey ❤️

Nofar's professionalism stands out as she delivered the courses with great skill, always attentive to every request and question from the employees, showing dedication, kindness, and incredible patience.

David Alban: Head of Procurement, Odem
Nofar teaches at our company in a unique, energetic, and engaging way. She allows everyone to express themselves while gently correcting mistakes, which helps us significantly improve our English and handle international interactions with ease. In her sessions, Nofar integrates all the essential language skills, focusing on speaking and vocabulary while also ensuring we use grammar correctly. The topics are tailored to our specific field and the challenges we face daily. I am very satisfied with the program, and as proof, our company has incorporated Nofar's courses into our annual work plan.
Oren Perez: Product manager, Odem
I wanted to share a few words about my experience in the course. The course gave me a new perspective on the English language. Instead of getting caught up in grammar rules, Nofar taught us to focus on thinking, understanding the key message I want to convey, and working from there. This approach gave me the confidence to speak and write more fluently. Another crucial aspect was the emphasis on not directly translating what I want to say from Hebrew but rather finding different words and ways to express my ideas. Nofar is a professional, attentive coach who adapts to each individual, creating an open and respectful learning environment.
Moran Atalas: Customer success manager, Odem
Highly recommend studying Business English with Nofar. The content is interesting, enriching, and fully tailored to the business topics relevant to the company where I work.

Nofar is extremely professional, teaches with enthusiasm, and genuinely connects with her students. Highly recommended!
Saar Matiyan: Head of sales, Odem
I have no words to describe the incredible experience you provided me throughout the course. It was focused, enriching, and confidence-boosting. The language barriers I had were broken in an exceptional way. You were flexible and professional, and I enjoyed every moment. Most importantly, I feel that the course contributed to me greatly, both personally and professionally. You are an excellent teacher—may there be more like you. Wholeheartedly recommended, with much gratitude. 💜 Efrat, from Odem Applications.

Highly recommend learning English with Nofar. I studied through the company I work for, and the lessons were both interesting and highly beneficial. I received many tips from Nofar on how to handle English effectively. I managed to shake off the rust and break free from relying on Hebrew. Enjoyment guaranteed. Good luck!
Arik Hefez: service manager, Odem
Before COVID, I spent a year in Wall Street's courses and completed all the levels. You're incredibly precise. You know how to focus and stick to the lesson plan despite the challenges, while maintaining some flexibility. It's clear that you invest countless hours into your materials, and it's greatly appreciated. Without your vibe, explanations, and presence, the value of it all would be much less. This isn't a compliment—it's simply the truth. It's also great that you have your boundaries; that's very important. For me, this course goes far beyond English. It's the content, the subtleties between the lines, and your focus. Sometimes it feels like you're speaking directly to my soul! You are my like-minded! 🔥 Thank you so much!
Rita Levinson: data analyst
I truly enjoyed the lessons! Your unified teaching method, the atmosphere, personal approach, and flexibility were outstanding. I wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone looking to learn or improve their English skills! Warm regards!
Marina Raskin: bookkeepr, Odem
I work at a company where all documentation is in English. Before starting the program with Nofar, I knew many English words, but I struggled to form sentences. Additionally, I wanted to improve my pronunciation. With Nofar’s helpful guidance, I succeeded. I'm very satisfied with the program and the support I received from Nofar. Thank you so much, Nofar!
Andrey Valosov, production department
I would like to highly recommend Nofar as an English teacher who taught at the company where I work. In a relatively short time, I gained a lot of knowledge, information, and practical tools that have helped me immensely. Additionally, all the lessons were enriching and highly productive. I wholeheartedly recommend her to everyone—it’s absolutely worth it!
Oxana Bodgman: production department, Odem
At the beginning of our journey with you, we thought that our ability to manage conversations and write emails to suppliers/clients was relatively good. However, after the personalized and detailed assessment you conducted for each of us, we realized there was room for improvement. Throughout our sessions with you, we each made significant progress in both spoken English and writing emails. By the end of the program, every one of us showed noticeable improvement. We enriched our language skills, and our communication with international clients and suppliers improved dramatically. We highly recommend your course to any company or office that deals with English-speaking clients or suppliers worldwide. Thank you so much for your dedication, attention to detail, and understanding of the unique needs of each department within the company.
Asher Talker: buyer, Odem
It was a pleasure to help you, and I'm thrilled to hear about the progress you've made! Your dedication to improving your English with a focus on proper grammar and building confidence has truly paid off. I'm so proud that we reached the goals we set together, and it's wonderful to know that the lesson plans and the approach worked so well for you. Thank you for your kind words, and I'm excited to see how far you'll continue to go from here!
Gal Shukrun: Cybersecurity Architect
They say good things come in small packages, and in our case, in short ones. In eight focused sessions, just as you promised, you managed to tailor the program precisely to my needs and goals. You gave me golden advice and practical tools that help me express myself confidently, both in writing and speaking. Thank you so much for being attentive, flexible, and creative throughout the sessions; it made them more effective and engaging. And of course, thank you for helping me believe in myself and recognize my abilities. I'm sure we'll meet again 🩷

At the end of the process, I can only thank you for restoring my confidence to speak, teaching me various tactics to support conversations, and most importantly—helping me realize that everything is possible!

Dear Nofar, you are so dear and beloved to me ❤️ I’m so glad I made the decision to study with you. I want to thank you for a super professional, super interesting process that was perfectly tailored to my level and to my needs in a global company. Your commitment to the process and your amazing personality are truly admirable. My confidence in speaking fluently with my colleagues and clients has improved tremendously! Thank you for everything you’ve given, above and beyond. I’m already looking forward to the next Professional program!!!
Adi Golan: account manager, Google
Dear Nofar, After finishing our program, I would love to leave you these words in writing. From the very first session, I realized that you're more than just a teacher—you're a true guide. You gave me tools to deal with fear, to let my mouth speak, and brought me to a place where I enjoy our conversations in English. As I told you in one of the sessions, your approach is unlike anything I’ve encountered before, and it’s clear you have real passion and love for what you do. Beyond what one can gain from this space, it’s truly inspiring! We both know that English is all about practice and more practice, but today I feel like I don’t just have a foundation, I have a solid one that allows for progress and success. You are undeniably a part of my journey to success, and I thank you for that! I believe we will meet again. Yiska
