Noorani Qaida (Complete) for Older Learners — Female Teacher
Noorani Qaida (Complete) for older learners, taught with a female teacher in 30-minute lessons, 1–3 lessons a week. The full Qaida from the first letter to joined reading, at the pace the student needs.
Lesson length and why
Thirty minutes at a deliberate pace. Repetition is increased and new material introduced more gradually, which suits retention rather than accommodating any deficiency.
Where most students start
Often learned as a child decades ago and retained fragments. Eyesight and screen size are practical considerations more often than learning ability.
What is expected at home
None.
How long it takes
Noorani Qaida (Complete) typically runs 16–40 weeks at 1–3 lessons a week. The range is wide because it moves with revision between lessons more than with anything that happens in them.
