Tajweed classes for kids
What is Tajweed?
Tajweed is the set of rules for reciting the Quran correctly: where each letter is pronounced (makharij), how letters affect each other (noon and meem saakin rules), echoing letters (qalqalah) and lengthening vowels (madd). In our online classes children learn each rule while reading, with the teacher correcting every word. For families in the United States, lessons are set in your own local time (ET, CT, MT, PT, Alaska and Hawaii); after school is usually 4:30–8pm, and we suggest 4 classes a week — $55 a month (about $3.44 a lesson).
Makharij
The points in the mouth and throat where each letter is pronounced.
Heavy and light letters
Tafkheem and tarqeeq: which letters are full-mouthed and which are thin.
Same teacher every class
A male or female teacher, your choice, so your child feels at ease and keeps moving forward.
Female supervisor in every lesson
She listens to the whole class, so it stays safe, kind and on track.

“My kids have learnt so much within such a short space of time. Very impressed would definitely recommend.”
Which rules does my child start with?
The first rules are in the last lessons of our OQLS Qaida. Here are four of them, as your child sees them in class.
Makharij
Where each letter is said from: the throat, the tongue, the lips or the nose.
Izhar
When noon saakin or tanween is said clearly, with no nasal sound.
Idghaam
When noon saakin blends into the next letter, with examples to read.
Qalqalah
The small bounce on five letters when they carry a sukoon.

Where does my child start learning Tajweed?
Pick the one that sounds like your child. The teacher confirms the right starting point in the free trial.
What does my child need before Tajweed?
Your child should be able to read Arabic letters and words, even slowly. Not sure? The free trial checks this.
- A laptop, tablet or phoneA bigger screen makes the page easier to see, but a phone works.
- Headphones with a micSo the teacher hears every letter clearly.
- A steady internet connectionThe same connection you use for video calls.
- A quiet spot at a tableAway from the TV and younger brothers and sisters.
- Nothing to buyThe teacher shares every page on screen.
- English or UrduTeachers explain in either, so your child understands every correction.
Practice between classes: Reading the passage from class out loud once or twice before the next lesson.

How long does it take to learn Tajweed?
The rules are learnt in class, but turning them into a habit takes steady practice. Children who already read fluently usually find it easier than those still building speed.
The teacher tells you after the first week what pace to expect. You can also hear the change for yourself: ask for a recording of any class.
Our suggestion: 4 classes a week. Four classes a week gives enough reading time to turn each rule into habit. Every class is 30 minutes and one-to-one, and the fee is the same for every course and for a male or female teacher.

How much do Tajweed classes for kids cost in the USA?
Plans start at $30 a month. For this course we suggest 4 classes a week — $55 a month (about $3.44 a lesson). Prices are in US dollars. 3 Days Free Trial first, no card.
What time are Tajweed classes for kids in the USA?
Classes run 24/7, so any time works. A 30-minute slot fits well between 4pm and 8pm in your own time zone after school, or on a Saturday or Sunday morning. Clocks change in March and November in most states (not Arizona or Hawaii). We move your slot with them so the lesson stays at the same local time.
Can my child have a female teacher in the USA?
Yes. Every family in the United States chooses a male or female teacher, and a female supervisor joins every lesson live.
At what age should a child learn Tajweed?
Children absorb correct pronunciation from the very first Qaida lesson. Formal Tajweed rules usually start once a child reads the Quran, often around 7 to 9.
Can Tajweed really be taught online?
Yes. In a one-to-one video lesson the teacher hears every letter and can show mouth positions on camera. It is often easier than in a busy class because no mistake is missed.
20 more questions
Does my child need to finish Qaida first?
Your child should be able to read joined Arabic words. If not, the teacher starts with Noorani Qaida, which already builds correct pronunciation.
Does a colour-coded Tajweed Quran help?
Many children find it easier to see where a rule applies when the letters are colour-coded. We share free colour-coded Quran PDFs you can use at home between classes.
Can I hear how my child is improving?
Yes. Lessons are recorded and you can ask for any recording. You also receive a monthly progress report.
We are on the West Coast. Are after-school classes available?
Yes. Pacific time is usually the easiest American slot to fill: a 4pm class in California is a comfortable hour for our teachers. Eastern time between 5pm and 7pm fills first, so book that one early.
Is an online Quran class safe for my child?
Yes. A female supervisor joins every class live, you can join any lesson without telling us, lessons are recorded, and teachers never contact your child outside class. Every teacher has their ID and certificates checked before teaching.
Can my child learn Quran and Islamic studies in the same class?
Your child can learn Quran and Islamic studies together in the same 30-minute class, or take just one subject. You choose, and the teacher shapes each lesson around your child.
Are the classes live or recorded?
Live, always. Your child reads with a real teacher on a video call, never a recorded course. Lessons are also recorded, so you can ask for the recording any time.
Who is in my child’s class?
Your child, the teacher and a female supervisor who listens to the whole lesson. You are welcome to join too, any time.
Can I sit in on my child’s class?
Yes. You can join any class live, without telling us first.
How do you choose your teachers?
Every teacher passes four checks before a first student: ID verified, Quran and Tajweed certificates checked, an interview and a demo class our team watches, then training in how we teach children.
Can I change my child’s teacher?
Yes, at any time. Just ask. You do not need to give a reason.
Can the teacher contact my child?
No. Teachers never message a child outside class. Every message goes through our team to you.
What language do teachers explain in?
English or Urdu, so your child understands every correction. The reading itself is always in Arabic.
What do we need for a class?
A laptop, tablet or phone, a steady internet connection and headphones with a mic. A quiet spot at a table helps.
How many classes a week can my child have?
From one to five a week. Three or four suit most children; five suits Hifz.
Can we move a class to another time?
Yes. Message us on WhatsApp as early as you can and we will find another time, with the same teacher where possible.
What if my child needs to miss a class?
Tell us before the class. You can then have a make-up class or the fee adjusted next month. Classes missed without telling us cannot be made up.
Is the free trial really free?
Yes. 3 Days Free Trial with no card and no obligation. You only pay if you decide to continue.
What is your refund policy?
Ask within 5 calendar days of the first paid class for a full refund. After that, we charge only for the classes your child attended and return the rest.
What if we want to stop?
The trial has no obligation. After that, ask within 5 calendar days of the first paid class for a full refund. After that, attended classes are deducted and the rest is refunded.
