Before you book
Questions about Seerah (Life of the Prophet)
Does the student need any prior knowledge for Seerah (Life of the Prophet)?
The trial lesson establishes where the student actually is before any schedule is agreed, so nothing is assumed. If a different starting point fits better, the tutor will say so.
How long does Seerah (Life of the Prophet) take?
Typically 20 to 44 weeks. It is a range because progress varies with the age of the student, how often they attend and how much they practise between lessons. A single number would be a promise about a student we have not met.
What will the student be able to do afterwards?
Recount the life in order; Draw practical lessons from it. Progress is recorded in the notes sent after each lesson, so you can see it rather than take it on trust.
Is Seerah (Life of the Prophet) taught differently by age?
Yes. It is planned for 10 different groups of student, each with its own lesson length and weekly frequency. The same service looks different for a six-year-old than for an adult.
Can we choose a male or female tutor?
Yes. You choose when you book, and it stays the same tutor for every lesson unless you ask to change. Female tutors teach throughout.
Is the trial lesson really free?
Yes. It is a full lesson with the tutor you would actually be assigned, ending in a written assessment. 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 service?
Book the trial anyway. The assessment at the end tells you where the student actually is, and we will recommend what fits — even if it is not this.
