My child attends a masjid school already. Is a private lesson worth adding?

Often yes, for pronunciation specifically. A large class cannot stop for one child's recurring mistake, and that is exactly what a private half hour is good at fixing.

Do you teach girls and boys?

Yes, and you can request a female or male teacher when you book. Whoever teaches the trial is who continues afterwards.

How soon can we start after the trial?

Usually the same week. If you decide not to continue nothing happens, since no card details are taken for the trial.

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 Philadelphia 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.

Why Philadelphia families start with a free lesson

Philadelphia has one of the oldest and most rooted Muslim communities in the country, and plenty of children learn to recite in it. What is harder is a weekday class that survives September to June — between school, SEPTA and a masjid programme on the other side of the city, the evening runs out before the lesson starts. A free trial costs nothing and answers whether a private lesson at home would stick.

The trial is thirty minutes with one teacher and one child. Your child reads aloud and is corrected immediately: letter shapes if they are still on Qaida, harakat and stopping rules if they read fast and rough. At the end you are told plainly what your child can do and what to work on next.

Children in West Philadelphia, Germantown and the Northeast come from African American, West African, Arab and South Asian families, and the lesson is taught in clear English so the child's home language is never the limiting factor. Arabic pronunciation is modelled sound by sound rather than assumed.

There is no Philadelphia classroom in this. Lessons are private video classes, so a family in Upper Darby has the same teachers and times as one in Frankford.

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.
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 Eastern Time (ET)

Lessons are booked in Eastern Time and keep their slot through the clock changes. Philadelphia families mostly choose 4pm to 8pm ET on school nights, with weekend mornings the next most popular. Missed lessons are rescheduled. 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.”
Yusuf C.Philadelphia · 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.”
Layla C.Philadelphia · Tajweed
“Keeping the same weekly slot and the same teacher has made memorisation manageable, and revision in every lesson means earlier surahs stay strong.”
