Two courses on the calendar

One halqa is running right now, and a new one opens in October. Both are also available as private lessons whenever suits you.

Prefer to study alone? Every course here can be taught one-to-one, starting any week of the year.

What I teach

Courses

Five courses, each available privately or in a small group. If what you want is not listed, ask — most students end up with something built for them.

Two ways to study

A weekly group, or the hour entirely to yourself

I teach ongoing groups and I take private students. Neither is the fallback for the other — they suit different people, and some students do both.

Live small groups

You learn alongside a handful of other students in a fixed weekly halqa. Questions get asked out loud, and the group keeps everyone moving.

  • Lower price per session
  • A fixed weekly rhythm that is easy to keep
  • You learn from other students' questions too
  • Running now: the Seerah halqa

Private one-to-one

The whole session is yours. We set the pace, the times and the syllabus around you, and you can start in any week of the year.

  • Times chosen around your timezone
  • A syllabus built on your specific goal
  • Move as fast, or as slowly, as you need
  • Available for every course on this page

Arabic, Qur'an, Islamic Studies and Sira

I have taught more than 300 students — on Preply, on other platforms, and in real classrooms with a blackboard, notebooks and children sitting on the carpet. I teach Arabic, Qur'an recitation, Islamic Studies and the Sira. What I care about is that a lesson lands: that you leave it able to do something you could not do an hour earlier.

  • Certified native Arabic tutor Arabic is my first language, and teaching it to non-native speakers is what I do every week.
  • Qur'an recitation & Tajweed The rules of Tajweed explained so that someone who does not speak Arabic can still hear them and copy them.
  • Islamic Studies & Sira The life of the Prophet ﷺ and the history surrounding it, taught as a story with its context kept in place.
  • Interactive by default Boards, images, manuscripts and questions — not a lecture read out loud at you.
  • 5.0 on Preply across 82 lessons Part of more than 300 students taught in total, between online platforms and real classrooms.
How it works

From a message to your first lesson

Send a message

WhatsApp or Telegram, in English or Arabic. Tell me what you want to learn and roughly where you are now.

Take a free trial

We meet for a short first session, find your real level, and agree on a plan. Nothing to pay for this one.

Pick your times

A fixed weekly slot if you join a group, or times chosen around your timezone if you study privately.

Start, and keep going

You get the material after each session, and we keep track of what has been covered so nothing quietly gets lost.

From my students

Every review below was left by a verified student on Preply.

Really great teacher, I'm having a lot of fun. He is super friendly and is helping me a lot with my speaking skills. Definitely recommend him!
Karim
Verified Preply student
An excellent teacher, very patient and able to identify areas I struggle with and how I can improve. Highly recommend!
Mak
Verified Preply student
He is reliable, punctual, and very dedicated to his work. I can recommend him without reservation and am very satisfied with his teaching. Particularly noteworthy is his ability to explain the correct pronunciation (Tajwīd) in an understandable way.

A gift for the people of the Qur'an

If you carry a significant portion of the Noble Qur'an in your memory, there is a standing discount on every course on this page. Mention it when you message and it is applied — no forms, no proof asked for.

In appreciation of what you already carry.

Before you book

Questions students usually ask

Do I need any Arabic to start?

No. Several of my students began at the alphabet. Lessons are taught in English and shift into more Arabic as you grow into it.

How long is a lesson?

Usually 45 to 60 minutes for adults and 30 to 45 for children. We adjust once we both see what holds attention and what does not.

Is the first lesson really free?

Yes. The first short session is a trial: we check your level, talk through your goal, and agree on a plan. You decide afterwards whether to continue.

What do I need for a lesson?

A phone or laptop with a stable connection, and something to write in. Any material you need is sent to you before we meet.

Which platform do we meet on?

Google Meet, or the Preply classroom — those two for now. Booking through Preply keeps the scheduling and the payment in one place.

Can I book lessons for my child?

Yes — and not only the recitation course. Every course here is built to work for young learners, with the pace, the examples and the length of the session adjusted to their age. Parents are welcome to sit in on the first lessons.

What times are you available?

I teach across a wide spread of hours, from early morning through to late evening. Send me your city or your timezone and I will send back the slots that work.

A message is enough to begin — no form to fill in, no account to make. I answer in English or Arabic.
