אודותינו

Words are my world. As a writer, editor and teacher, English is my passion and I never underestimate the power of words. Many people can put pen to paper, but when last did you see someone cut through to the heart of a reader with a keyboard? That's what I do for a living and I love it! From a young age I discovered that English was my forté, and for the past 15+ years I've been using my creative flair and excellent command of the English language to engage readers and learners alike.

Before embarking on a career as a freelance writer/editor, I wrote and edited a variety of educational materials for Burlington Books, Spain (Eric Cohen Books), mostly in the field of English literature. Today I work as a freelancer and have expanded my areas of expertise to include journalism. As a contributor to the Jerusalem Post, I specialize in writing travel-related articles and feature stories.

My services include writing, editing and proofreading English content of all kinds. I edit for content and language, improving the style where necessary and making sure the ideas come across in a clear, concise and persuasive way. I also do Hebrew to English translations.

I write content in English for a variety of purposes:
* Newspaper and magazine articles
* Teaching English as a Second Language
* Online English teaching

Writing:
* Feature articles
* Travel articles
* Blogs
* Educational materials for ESL/EFL learners (textbooks, workbooks, activity books, teacher's guides, content for CDs)
* Adaptations of children's classics (graded readers)
* Short story collections
* Catalog blurbs for marketing purposes
* Creative writing

Teaching:
* ESL/EFL teaching

Work experience:
* Contribute feature articles to the Jerusalem Post
* Over 15 years' experience as a Pedagogical Writer and Editor for Eric Cohen Books Ltd., Israel's leading publisher of educational materials in English
* Wrote grammar-based activity books for the 5th and 6th grades (Ofarim Publishers)
* Developed content for a course book for the Helen Doron Educational Group
* Wrote practice tests for the TOEIC examination (Edusoft Ltd.)
* Created practice exams for the Bagrut examination (Ankori Projects Ltd.)
* Developed a 22-lesson course for LingoLearn, an online language school
* ESL teaching, both privately and for LingoLearn

Education:
B.A. in English Literature and Linguistics - Tel Aviv University
Teaching Certificate - Seminar Hakibbutzim

Open to negotiating a fair price for both sides.
