Paula offers private classes catering to individual needs of specific students. One of her students was a cantor/scholar who needed help reading Yiddish articles about the state of the profession at the turn of the 20th century in Poland. He used the Yiddish sources in an article he wrote for a scholarly journal.

Other students scheduled private sessions in order to read the poetry of Itzik Manger and Avrom Sutzkewer.

A young father whose wife spoke Yiddish to their baby took private classes in order to understand and participate in creating a Yiddish environment for their child.
