What I teach
My lessons cover the full path from not being able to read a single Arabic word to reading the Quran with the pronunciation and Tajweed rules applied correctly:
- Noorani Qaida — the alphabet, the harakat, joining letters, and the reading rules that a beginner needs before opening the Quran.
- Quran recitation — moving from letter-by-letter decoding to connected, confident reading.
- Tajweed — Qalqalah, Noon Sakinah, Meem Sakinah, Madd, the heavy and light letters, and Waqf.
All three of these are covered by the free material on this site, so you are never blocked waiting for a lesson slot. Start with the 30 Noorani Qaida lessons, or read a guide first if you would rather understand the approach before you begin.
How I teach
The thing beginners struggle with most is not recognising Arabic letters. It is hearing whether their own pronunciation is correct. A page of text can be recognised letter by letter and still be read with the wrong sounds, and the mistake is invisible to the reader.
So my approach is deliberately repetitive and audio-led. We look at a small amount of new material, then read it many times — first slowly with me, then independently, then again the next lesson. If something is read incorrectly, we stop and fix that single sound before moving on. Progress sometimes feels slow in the early weeks for exactly this reason: we are building the sound of the letter, not racing through pages.
I teach children and adults with the same principles. Children get shorter blocks, more repetition and games; adults get a faster pace and more of the reasoning behind the rules. Neither gets a watered-down curriculum — the goal is correct recitation in both cases.
Everything on this site — the lessons, the games, the practice videos and these guides — is free, and I would encourage you to use it before you pay for anything. If you work through the material and you still want correction on your own pronunciation, that is a good moment to book a trial lesson, because we can then skip the fundamentals and go straight to what you are actually getting wrong.
