What is Tajweed, and why learn it with a teacher?
Tajweed is the set of rules for reciting the Quran correctly. It covers where each sound comes from, how long to hold it and where to stop. Learning the rules is the first part. Reciting them correctly out loud is the second.
The second part is where a live teacher matters most. A book can show you a rule, but only a teacher can hear your mistake and fix it. In our one-to-one lessons, the teacher listens as you recite and corrects you straight away.
Tajweed builds on reading. Not reading Arabic yet? Start with Noorani Qaida. Want to memorise? See Hifz. Want the meaning? See Tafseer.
Online Tajweed classes for adults and children
Every learner has a one-to-one plan, so the rules, the pace and the teacher’s way of speaking fit the learner.
Children after Qaida
Tajweed rules are added as reading becomes steady. A parent sits beside a 4 or 5 year old.
Sisters and girls
Ask for a female teacher in the trial form. Most of our teachers are female.
Still learning the letters
Tajweed builds on reading Arabic letters. If you are not there yet, start with Noorani Qaida.
How your Tajweed lessons begin
- 1Book the free trial
Tell us the learner’s age, how well they read and the days that suit you. It takes two minutes and costs nothing.
- 2Meet a teacher
A live one-to-one lesson on Zoom or Google Meet. You recite a little, and the teacher listens closely.
- 3Find the starting point
The teacher hears your reading and suggests where to begin: with the basics of the letters, or with the first rules.
- 4Choose a weekly time
Pick how many lessons a week suit you and a regular slot. If the first teacher is not right, meet a second, also free.
- 5Learn, rule by rule
Each lesson adds a small piece, and every rule is practised in real verses, not only in theory.
What you learn in the Tajweed course
The rules are taught in a clear order and revisited while you read. We do not set a fixed number of lessons for each rule. Your teacher moves on when you are ready.
- 1Makharij: where each sound comes fromThe places in the mouth and throat each letter is pronounced from.
- 2Sifaat: the qualities of lettersHow letters differ: strong or soft, with or without breath.
- 3Noon Sakin and TanweenIzhar, Idgham, Iqlab and Ikhfa, and which letter decides the rule.
- 4Meem SakinThe rules for a silent meem, and how it sounds with the letter after it.
- 5Madd: lengthening a soundHow long to hold a sound, and when it is held longer.
- 6GhunnahThe nasal sound, and where it is used.
- 7QalqalahThe slight echo on certain letters when they have no vowel.
- 8Laam and RaaWhen these letters are said heavy and when light.
- 9Tafkheem and TarqeeqHeavy and light letters, and how to tell them apart.
- 10Waqf and IbtidaWhere to stop when you recite, and where to begin again.
Free Tajweed tool: find the Noon Sakin and Tanween rule
After a noon sakin or tanween, the next letter decides the rule. Tap a letter to see which rule it triggers. Your teacher shows you how each one sounds.
Which letter comes after the noon sakin or tanween?
Tap a letter
You will see the rule for that letter, and every other letter that follows the same rule.
What a one-to-one Tajweed lesson looks like
Every Tajweed lesson keeps the same rhythm: revise, learn one rule, recite, then plan your practice.
- 1Revise
The teacher checks the rules from last time, so nothing is lost.
- 2Learn one rule
A single new rule, explained and shown in a few verses.
- 3Recite with correction
You recite, and the teacher corrects pronunciation as you read.
- 4Plan your practice
A short recap, then a little to practise before the next lesson.
How to remember the rules
- Practise ten minutes a day. Little and often works best.
- Use the rule in a real verse, not only on paper.
- Recite the same short passage until it feels smooth.
- Ask your teacher to revise earlier rules often.
Tajweed or Hifz?
Tajweed is about reciting correctly. Hifz is about memorising. Many learners study Tajweed first or alongside Hifz, so what they memorise is recited correctly. See Hifz Quran.
Safe, private Tajweed lessons
Good Tajweed teaching depends on hearing you clearly, so here is how a lesson is set up.
How correction works in a Tajweed lesson
- Your teacher hears every sound live, so a mistake is fixed in the moment, not weeks later.
- A headset or clear speaker helps the teacher hear your makharij. We explain this in the free trial.
- Choose a female or male teacher, or no preference.
- Children aged 4 or 5 learn with a parent beside them. Other parents may sit in too.

Online Tajweed classes: your questions
What is Tajweed?
Tajweed is the set of rules for reciting the Quran correctly: giving each letter its right sound, holding sounds for the right length and stopping in the right places. A teacher helps you hear and fix what a book cannot.
Can beginners learn Tajweed online?
Yes. If you can already read Arabic letters, you can start. If you are not there yet, start with Noorani Qaida, and the teacher adds Tajweed as your reading becomes steady.
Do I need to know Arabic to learn Tajweed?
You do not need to understand Arabic, but you should be able to read the letters and join them into words, even slowly. If you cannot yet, start with Noorani Qaida. The teacher checks this in the free trial.
Is there an online Tajweed course for adults?
Yes. Adults learn in private one-to-one lessons, with no group, at their own pace. You can start with the rules you need most.
What age can a child start Tajweed?
Children usually begin Tajweed after Noorani Qaida, once they can read letters and words. A child can start Quran lessons from age 4. Tell us your child’s age and level in the trial form, and the teacher suggests the right moment.
When should a child start Tajweed after Qaida?
When the child reads letters and short words steadily. The teacher listens in the free trial and decides, so the rules never feel too early or too hard.
What is taught in an online Tajweed course?
Makharij, Sifaat, Noon Sakin and Tanween, Meem Sakin, Madd, Ghunnah, Qalqalah, Laam and Raa, Tafkheem and Tarqeeq, and Waqf and Ibtida, each practised in real verses.
How are recitation mistakes corrected?
Live, in the lesson. You recite, the teacher listens and stops at a mistake, explains the rule and you say it again until it is right.
Can I teach myself Tajweed?
Books, apps and videos help you learn the rules and practise. But you cannot hear your own mistakes as clearly as a teacher can, so many learners use a teacher to check their recitation.
How long does it take to learn Tajweed?
It depends on where you start, how many lessons you take a week and how much you practise. We do not promise a fixed timeline. After the free trial your teacher can give you an honest view of the steps ahead.
How long is each class?
Each lesson is 45 minutes, live and one-to-one, on Zoom or Google Meet.
How many lessons a week should I take?
There is no single right number. More lessons a week means faster progress, but a steady routine you can keep matters more. After the free trial your teacher can suggest a number that fits.
What is the difference between Tajweed and Hifz?
Tajweed is about reciting correctly. Hifz is about memorising. Many learners study Tajweed first or alongside Hifz, so that what they memorise is recited correctly.
Can I request a female Tajweed teacher?
Yes. Choose a female teacher in the trial form. You can also ask for a male teacher or choose no preference. Most of our teachers are female.
Do you have a Tajweed book or PDF?
Ask your teacher in the free trial which Tajweed book to use. You can book the trial first and decide after.
Can adults and children follow different Tajweed plans?
Yes. Every learner has a one-to-one plan, so an adult and a child can learn different rules at a different pace, each with their own teacher.
Can lessons fit around school or work?
Yes. Choose a regular time around school, work and family. We confirm availability when you book. Weekend lessons cost 50p more per lesson.
How much do online Tajweed classes cost in the UK?
Tajweed is part of our Standard lessons: £3 to £5 for each 45-minute one-to-one lesson, so two lessons a week for four weeks is £24 to £40 a month. Weekend lessons cost 50p more per lesson. The calculator on this page works it out for any day.
What are the trial, refund and recording rules for Tajweed lessons?
The first Tajweed lesson is a free trial, and you can meet a second teacher if the first is not right. We do not record lessons, and refunds are explained on our free trial and safeguarding pages.
