About this subject
Tajweed is the set of rules for pronouncing the Quran: where each letter is produced, how letters affect each other, how long sounds are held and where to stop. This subject teaches the rules and, more importantly, applies them in the learner's own recitation.
Tajweed is about pronunciation. It assumes the learner can already read the text, and it does not teach memorization or meaning.
- Focus
- Pronunciation (Tajweed)Pronouncing each letter from its correct point of articulation and applying the rules of recitation.

How lessons may be structured
Lesson length, the number of classes a week and the pace are agreed with you before lessons begin.
Rule, then recitation
Each rule is explained briefly and then practised in real passages, so it is used in reading rather than memorised as theory.
Listening closely
The tutor models the sound, the learner recites, and the tutor points to the exact letter that needs work.
Steady refinement
Learners keep reciting passages they know while new rules are added, so earlier corrections are not lost.

Frequently asked questions
Does “Mastery” mean I will master Tajweed in a set time?
No. The name describes what the subject works towards. How far a learner gets, and how quickly, depends on their starting point and regular practice. We do not promise mastery or a fixed timeframe.
Can I start Tajweed if I still read slowly?
Tajweed assumes the learner can read the text. If reading is still slow or uncertain, Quran Reading Basics is usually the better start, and Tajweed can follow.
Is it theory or recitation?
Both, with the weight on recitation. Each rule is explained briefly and then practised in the learner's own reading.
Which recitation is taught?
Please ask when you enquire. We confirm the recitation (qira'ah) the tutor teaches before lessons begin.
