I went to maktab as a child but never learned Tajweed. Is that normal?

Very. Most adult learners here read reasonably and were never taught the rules behind the reading. The teacher starts by correcting sound, then names the rules as they come up.

Would anyone else be in the lesson?

No. It is one-to-one and nothing is recorded, which is the point for most adults returning after a long gap.

How often should I study?

Twice a week is the usual starting point for adults. Weekly works if the sessions are consistent; less than that tends to stall.

Why Manchester families start with a free lesson

A lot of adults in Manchester learned to recite as children in a maktab, stopped at eleven or twelve, and have carried the same handful of uncorrected habits ever since. Going back to a beginners' class in your thirties is an uncomfortable prospect, which is why so many never do. A free private half hour removes the audience from the equation.

The trial is one teacher and you. You read; the teacher listens carefully and then explains what is actually happening in the recitation — usually two or three specific letters and one or two rules, not everything. That is a much smaller repair job than most adults assume.

Adults in Cheetham Hill, Longsight, Rusholme and Whalley Range mostly study either before work or after the children are in bed. Privately, the slot can go wherever the day has a gap, which is the main reason adult study survives past the first month.

There is nowhere in Manchester to travel to. The lesson is a private video class, so a shift pattern or a dark February evening changes nothing about attending.

What makes the class different

Adult-appropriate, judgement-free teachingNo children's workbooks and no group recitation. Your teacher starts from an honest assessment of your reading and builds from there at an adult pace.
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.
Male or female teachersSay which you would prefer when booking. Both are available at the same rates and the same times.
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.

Class times in UK time (GMT/BST)

Lessons are booked in UK time. Manchester adults most often take 6am to 8am before work or 9pm to 10:30pm afterwards, and the same teacher keeps your slot each week so nothing is re-explained. See monthly plans for what happens after the trial.

“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.”
Sadia M.Manchester · 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.”
Idris M.Manchester · Tajweed
“Keeping the same weekly slot and the same teacher has made memorisation manageable, and revision in every lesson means earlier surahs stay strong.”
