Lessons and fees
How lessons work
Three clear stages, and live lessons arranged around you: times, length and frequency are agreed with you, in your own time zone.
The three stages
-
Reading from the very beginning
For those who don't know the letters yet, or read with difficulty
The letters, their sounds and where they are pronounced, the vowel marks, tanwīn and madd, then joining letters and reading words, building up to reading from the mushaf.
-
Recitation with Tajweed
For those who can read and want to recite correctly
How and where each letter is pronounced, the rules of nūn and mīm with sukūn and of tanwīn, and prolongation (madd), with recitation corrected in every lesson.
-
Memorisation and revision
For those who want to memorise and keep it
Step-by-step memorisation, starting with the short surahs of Juz ʿAmma, with a regular revision plan so that memorised surahs stay secure.

What do we need before the first lesson?
A device with a camera and microphone, a stable internet connection and a quiet space. Aya will send any books or files needed before you start.
How are times arranged across time zones?
Aya is based in Egypt. Lesson times are agreed in your local time, and the timetable is confirmed in writing.
Can I move or cancel a lesson?
Yes. Please tell Aya as early as you can, and you'll agree a new time together.
Request a trial lesson
