Questions about Noorani Qaida
What age is Noorani Qaida suitable for?
We teach Noorani Qaida from age 4 upwards, including adults. Lesson length and pace change with the age of the student rather than the course changing.
Does my child need any prior knowledge for Noorani Qaida?
It starts from the beginning. No prior reading is assumed, and the first lessons move at whatever pace the student needs.
How long does Noorani Qaida take?
Typically 12 to 24 weeks. It is given as a range because progress genuinely varies with the student's age, how often they attend and how much they practise between lessons. A single number would be a promise about a child we have not met.
How long is each lesson?
30 minutes, one to one with the same tutor each time. Younger children often do better with shorter, more frequent lessons, and we will say so if that applies.
Can my daughter be taught by a female teacher?
Yes. Female tutors teach Noorani Qaida, you choose when you book, and it stays the same tutor for every lesson unless you ask to change.
Is the trial lesson for Noorani Qaida really free?
Yes. It is a full lesson with a tutor, not a sales call, and it ends with a written assessment of where the student is. We do not ask for payment details to book it, and there is no obligation to continue.
If your question is not here, ask it. We would rather answer honestly now than have you find out after enrolling.
Not sure this is the right course?
Book the trial anyway. The assessment at the end tells you where the student actually is, and we will recommend the course that fits — even if it is not this one.
