Tajweed Foundations for Sisters — Female Teacher
Tajweed Foundations for sisters, taught with a female teacher in 45-minute lessons, 1–3 lessons a week. The rules that change the most: noon sakinah, meem sakinah, and the lengthening of madd.
Lesson length and why
Lessons run to the same length as any adult class. What differs is the arrangement, not the content or the standard.
Where most students start
As varied as any adult group. Many have not studied since childhood and want a setting where asking a basic question is comfortable.
What is expected at home
None for adults. For under-18s a guardian is present at enrolment.
How long it takes
Tajweed Foundations typically runs 16–36 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.
