Why Columbus families start with a free lesson
Columbus has one of the largest Somali communities in the country, and Quran classes here are usually available — often in large halls with many children per teacher. That makes the useful question a different one: is your child being individually heard? A free half hour with one teacher gives you an honest answer without paying for anything.
In the trial your child reads and is corrected as each mistake happens. Where a full room would move on, the teacher stays on the letter that keeps slipping until it is right, and then tells you what level actually fits your child.
Families in the Northland, Hilltop and Westerville areas often have children who recite confidently from memory but read the script less securely. The teacher separates the two in the trial, so you know whether your child is reading or recalling — a distinction that decides what the next few months should look like.
There is no Columbus classroom in this. Lessons are private video classes, so an Ohio winter or a change in the family's schedule does not cost you the lesson.
What makes the class different
- Paced to your child, not a class averageOne teacher, one child, 30 focused minutes. Letters, sounds and harakat are corrected in the moment instead of being marked at the end of a group session.
- 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.
- 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.

What Columbus 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.”
Aisha N.Columbus · 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.”
Tariq N.Columbus · Tajweed “Keeping the same weekly slot and the same teacher has made memorisation manageable, and revision in every lesson means earlier surahs stay strong.”

Questions before you book
- My child memorises easily but struggles to read. Is that common?
- Very common, especially where children hear a lot of recitation. The teacher works on reading the script directly while protecting what is already memorised.
- Would this replace our dugsi or masjid class?
- It does not need to. Many families keep the community class for routine and add a private lesson for pronunciation and individual pace.
- Is the teaching in English?
- Yes, all explanation is in English, with Arabic for the recitation itself and each sound modelled before your child repeats it.
- How do I book?
- Send us your details through the form on this page or message us on WhatsApp. We reply with two or three available slots and confirm one with you.
- What time zone are Columbus lessons scheduled in?
- Eastern Time (ET). You give us the times that work on your own clock and we match a teacher to them, including any daylight-saving changes.
- What do we need for the class?
- A phone, tablet or laptop, a reasonable internet connection and a copy of the Quran or Qaida. Nothing else needs to be bought or installed beyond a video app.
