About Your Mitzvah Tutor
Hello, my name is Adam Frankel and I grew up in Midwood, Brooklyn and attended Yeshiva of Flatbush High School. I am well-versed in reading and chanting Torah and Haftarah.
I have a passion for guiding young people through the journey of becoming a Bar or Bat Mitzvah. I am the father of two teenage boys and among the most meaningful moments of my life was helping them prepare for their respective big days.
It is an honor to help you and your child prepare for their mitzvah.

FAQ
Where will the tutoring take place?
Tutoring can be in-person or via video conference.
How long is a lesson?
We offer 30-minute sessions and 1-hour sessions.
How many lessons will my child require?
Depending on the time frame and how much your child needs to master, we typically meet with students for one to two sessions per week starting several months before the Bar or Bat Mitzvah. It will ultimately depend on the type of service you are having, your child's learning style and how much they practice in addition to working with us.
Do you help plan the service?
Think of Your Mitzvah Tutor as a supplement to the big day. We do not have rabbinical ordination to lead Bar or Bat Mitzvah services.
Is Your Mitzvah Tutor affiliated with a particular denomination?
No. We can work with any denomination from Reform or Reconstructionist to traditional Orthodox.
My child has little or no Jewish education, can you still work with him?
Absolutely. We would be honored to help your child embark on the journey of becoming a Bar or Bat Mitzvah.
