Bar and Bat Mitzvah Lessons & Jewish Education
Every child learns differently, Cantor Ben, a certified Life Coach, Cantor and teacher for 20+ years, understands the importance of personalized learning and will create a customized plan to ensure your son or daughter’s success in performing confidently at their Bar/Bat Mitzvah. With unlimited access to Cantor Ben, your child can share assignments and receive same-day feedback, fostering quick wins that make learning fun and accelerate their progress. Your child can also meet regularly one on one for a Zoom lesson with one of our CoolCantors. Cantor Ben goes beyond just teaching the Torah portion. He believes in nurturing your child’s growth as a great human being and he incorporates Life Lessons From The Torah, emphasizing relationship building, effective communication, kindness and leadership skills. This comprehensive approach prepares your child not only for their Bar/Bat Mitzvah but also for a fulfilling life guided by Jewish values.
Cantor Ben’s CoolCantor Hebrew School is great for students 8 years and up with moderate, little or zero Jewish education – Judaism 101 and Life Lessons from the Torah are perfect for them. Lots of experience teaching siblings at the same time – check out course descriptions below!
How Does It Work?
Step 1
Audio Collaboration
After a student and parents meet with Cantor Ben, he creates personalized audio recordings of your child’s Torah portion specifically for your child, complete with study sheets. Cantor Ben makes a personalized video explaining the first assignment with clear instructions and sends the first task to the student. The student uses the audio recording and study sheet to work on the task, and then makes an audio recording of their work in progress and sends it back to Cantor Ben.
Step 2
Corrections & Feedback
Cantor Ben will then send back an audio recording in an email with any corrections or advice to help guide them along during the process. If no corrections are required, new tasks are sent. Feedback and positive reinforcement on homework is always provided within 24 hours for maximum learning retention. Students and Cantor Ben interact back and forth on assignments building momentum and confidence with multiple touch points and repeated wins!
Step 3
Progress
Designed to support students and keep parents informed, parents are copied on all communications which helps with accountability and streamlines the process. Cantor Ben is also accessible and responsive to parents throughout the entire journey. One on one Zoom lessons are also available with one of our CoolCantors
