How it is adapted
For this student
Lesson length and why
Thirty minutes while everything is unfamiliar. The lesson stays short because cognitive load is high when every symbol is new.
Where most students start
No Arabic letters, no prior study. Sometimes no experience of the script at all, including which direction it runs.
What is expected at home
Depends on age. For adults, none; for children, daily review at home.
How long it takes
Tajweed Foundations typically runs 16–36 weeks at 2–4 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.
