Opher is a world-renowned Talent Development expert, Business Mentor, Coach, Teacher, Methodologist and Creator.
He got his start in teaching as a private music instructor, and went on to build the jazz department of Thelma Yelllin High School of Fine Arts in Israel. There, he developed a method to leverage the mathematical foundations of music to quickly raise an impressive number of world class professional musicians, including pianist, Yaron Herman.
Since 1984, Opher has been researching, constructing, and applying unique educational methodologies, which – contrary to the popularly held notion that talent is inborn – have demonstrated that people can systematically develop “genius” new talents.
Prior to launching this award-winning methodology, Opher trained multi-disciplinary thinkers and gifted children who later served in supreme units of the Israeli Defense Force, before going on to play a pivotal role in establishing the country’s start up business environment.
Opher has used his methodology to fix underperforming schools.
Facing an uphill battle with bureaucracy, he hacked school schedules, adding innovative, educational games to existing curricula.
His work with failing schools had such a significant and rapid impact that Opher was honored for his work with the 2018 Tribeca Disruptive Innovation Award in Education.
Today, hundreds of his certified teachers and trainers are working the methodology with tens of thousands of students across four continents.
Programs are active in schools in Israel and the Czech Republic, and are now being introduced into Korea, the USA, Canada, China, Peru and Singapore.
