Perhaps you have tried to learn Biblical Greek or Hebrew before, but felt it was too difficult. Please don't give up! You CAN do it. With my method, you will be reading in no time. This is because, unlike the typical linguistics-heavy seminary/university approach, I offer a natural and enjoyable process of language acquisition that is not restricted to the standard academic timetable. I do this by using comprehensible and enjoyable stories, along with basic conversational interaction to internalize the grammar. Reading fluency is the goal! No matter what your starting level is, I'm sure that you will love this approach! Lessons are one hour, making it easy to fit into your week. Qualifications: BTh, MTS, DMin, PhD. My doctorate (DMin) is in biblical languages. I have focused on learning and teaching languages within a ministry/pastoral context. Experience: I teach Biblical languages locally (at Grace Theological College, NZ) and remotely (at Nations University, USA). I also supervise and teach biblical languages at Forge Theological Seminary, USA and regularly publish language resources for students of ancient Greek, Hebrew and Latin.

He helped me understand more about Greek in 30 minutes than I had been able to glean in weeks of reading and study in an online class. Great tutor/professor.
Dr Beck is an amazing professor! He has been my professor for several classes as I pursue my masters degree. Most recently I had him for my introduction to New Testament Greek. This was the one class that I had marked on my schedule that I was concerned about. Dr Beck was awesome and made the class very practical and the content very practical. One of the things that really stood out to me in the class was how he differentiated what I just had to memorize what was academic and I would only see in a classroom and then what I would see in "real" life.
I am a thesis student and reader of Michael. His written work is scholarly and well studied while his interpersonal work shows forth many soft skills of a seasoned educator. I would recommend him because if he would step into the role, he can discharge it well, do the research to keep up with advances, and phrase it in tailored language to the given pupil.
Dr. Beck has served as Professor of Biblical Studies at Forge Theological Seminary, teaching both biblical studies, systematic theology, and biblical languages. He is a favorite among our student body due to his knowledgeable, capable, and helpful approach to teaching.
In my experience with Mike (Dr. Beck) as a doctoral supervisor, he maintained a perfect balance of approachability and professionalism. His expertise was clear from the advanced level with which he spoke on our research subjects, but he never made me feel dumb or as if I should already know anything. In fact, he prompted me to learn and work at my own pace, and any time I didn’t understand something, he was always able to provide accessible and trustworthy resources to bring me up to speed.
I highly recommend him to anyone desiring a research-practiced expert’s knowledge with an experienced professor’s heart.I’ve never met anyone as passionate about biblical languages than Mike. In addition to being thoroughly knowledgeable, he is humble, friendly, patient, and creative, making him an excellent tutor. I would highly recommend him to you if you are looking to learn Biblical Hebrew.
I had the privilege of been tutored in Hebrew by Dr Mike Beck last year as part of my denominations requirements that new Ministers learn elementary Hebrew. I can honestly say that Mike’s knowledge, passion, and relaxed teaching style made the time we spent together an amazing time of learning and fellowship. From been a complete beginner with no knowledge of Hebrew at all, Dr Beck helped me comfortably grasp the basics of the language and come out with excellent grades in my exams to prove that. If you’re looking to learn Hebrew for the first time, or advance further in this rich language, I strongly recommend getting in touch with Mike. You will not be disappointed!
