I cannot read a single Arabic letter. Is that too far back to start?

No — it is the intended starting point for this page. The teacher begins with letter shapes and sounds and does not assume any prior study.

How long before I can read a short surah?

It depends on how often you study, and an honest teacher will not promise a date. What the trial can give you is a realistic first-month plan based on how you handled the letters.

Can I have a teacher of the same gender?

Yes. Ask when you book and a male or female teacher is assigned accordingly.

Why Leicester families start with a free lesson

Starting from the very beginning as an adult in Leicester is more common than it looks. The city has plenty of Quran teaching, most of it built around children who started at six, and very little of it designed for someone who cannot yet tell alif from lam and does not want to learn that in front of a room. A free private half hour is a way to start without an audience.

The trial is one teacher and one student, thirty minutes. There is no test to fail. The teacher shows a few letters, listens to how you say them back, and finds out how your ear and eye are working — that is enough to plan a genuine beginner's route through the Qaida.

Beginners in Highfields, Belgrave, Evington and Oadby often assume they are years away from reading. In practice letter recognition moves quickly for adults; it is the fine pronunciation that takes patience, and a private lesson is the only place where the same sound can be repeated fifteen times without embarrassment.

There is nowhere in Leicester to attend. The class is private and online, which is exactly why a complete beginner can take it at 6am or 10pm without anyone knowing.

What makes the class different

From the letters up, in EnglishNoorani Qaida taught step by step — letter shapes, then harakat, then joining — with pronunciation modelled and corrected rather than assumed.
Truly one-to-oneOne teacher, one student, the whole lesson. Mistakes are corrected as they happen instead of going unnoticed in a group of twenty.
No payment details for the trialThe trial class is free and requires no card, no deposit and no subscription. If you do not continue, nothing happens.
A slot you choosePick the day and time that fits your week. If something clashes later, we move the lesson instead of writing it off.

Class times in UK time (GMT/BST)

Lessons are booked in UK time. Beginners usually do best with two shorter lessons a week rather than one long one; early mornings and 8pm to 10pm are the most requested slots, and the same teacher keeps your record. See monthly plans for what happens after the trial.

What Leicester Families Say

Feedback from students and parents about one-to-one lessons with our teachers.

“We started with the Arabic letters and sounds, and my daughter was reading short words confidently within a few months of one-to-one classes.”
Hafsa B.Leicester · Noorani Qaida
“My teacher corrects me while I recite, rule by rule, so pronunciation habits get fixed straight away instead of sticking around for years.”
Ibrahim B.Leicester · Tajweed
“Keeping the same weekly slot and the same teacher has made memorisation manageable, and revision in every lesson means earlier surahs stay strong.”
Fatima B.Leicester · Hifz Program
