Asalaamu Alaykum dear parents,
Are you looking for a kind, encouraging and enthusiastic teacher to help your child build a strong foundation in reading the Qur’an and understanding its beauty?
Alhamdulillah, I am currently memorising the Qur’an and have a solid understanding of Tajweed, supported by having lived in Arabic-speaking countries. I have formal experience teaching Qur’an and Islamic Studies and I bring with me a deep love for the Book of Allah ﷻ and a sincere desire to help children form a positive, confident connection with it.

I have experience teaching students in an engaging and supportive way and can adapt lessons to different ages and learning abilities. I enjoy making innovative ways of delivering lessons to my pupils in a way that engages and inspires them, instilling a deep love of the Quran even outside the classroom.

My aim is to help children not only recite the Qur’an with correct Tajweed, but to also understand the meanings of the Surahs they are learning — in a simple, age-appropriate way. In this way I hope to help your child to build a real connection with the words of Allah and begin to love the Qur’an as a companion and guide.

For children aged 4–16 years old I offer: 
✅ Qā‘idah reading for complete beginners
✅ Qur’an recitation with correct Tajweed
✅ Qur’an memorisation using proven retention strategies
✅ Structured sessions tailored to your child’s pace
✅ Teaching the meanings and messages of short surahs
✅ Use of fun, engaging methods to build confidence
✅ Flexible 1-2-1 sessions

Whether your child is taking their first steps in Arabic or needs support with their Hifdh, I would provide the encouragement and support to help them excel InshaAllah.

For more info or to book a trial session, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
