How it is adapted
For this student
Lesson length and why
Twenty minutes is the working limit at this age. A longer lesson does not teach more; it teaches the child that lessons are something to endure. Short and frequent beats long and weekly every time.
Where most students start
Usually no Arabic letters at all, and often no experience of a structured lesson. Reading ability in their first language may still be forming.
What is expected at home
A parent sits within earshot for the first few weeks, mainly so the child is settled and the device works. After that, five minutes of daily review at home matters more than anything that happens in the lesson.
How long it takes
Seerah (Life of the Prophet) typically runs 20–44 weeks at 3–5 lessons a week. The range is wide because it moves with revision between lessons more than with anything that happens in them.

Questions about these classes
How is this taught?
One to one, online, with the same tutor each lesson. Length and pace are set by the age and starting point of the student rather than by a fixed syllabus.
How do we know this is what we need?
The free trial ends with an assessment of where the student actually is, and the tutor says what to work on — including where something else would serve better.
Can we combine this with another service?
Yes. Lessons are one to one, so a tutor moves between reading, correction and revision as the student needs.
Is it available with a female tutor?
Yes. You choose the tutor when you book, and it stays the same person for every lesson unless you ask to change.
If your question is not here, ask it. We would rather answer honestly now than have you find out after enrolling.
