The trial lesson is your best chance to judge whether a teacher and academy are right for your child. Go in with a short list of questions.
About your child
- What level is my child at now?
- What will they learn in the first month?
- What do you think they find easy, and what is harder?
About the plan
- How many lessons a week, and how long, do you suggest for my child?
- What should we practise at home, and for how long each day?
- How will I hear about progress?
About the teacher and academy
- What Quran qualifications do you hold, such as an ijazah?
- How long have you been teaching children?
- Is there a written safeguarding policy?
- Can we change teacher if my child is not comfortable?
What good answers sound like
- Specific: “She knows most letters but mixes up ح and ه, so we’ll start there,” rather than “She’s doing fine.”
- Realistic: no promises of finishing in a set number of weeks.
- Child-centred: a plan that fits your child’s age and attention span.
At Bloomtivo
Every child starts with 2 free trial lessons. All our teachers hold ijazahs in the Quran, you receive a progress report every month, we follow a written Safeguarding Policy, and if your child is not comfortable, we change the teacher and the trial stays free until they are happy.
Teacher’s tip: write your questions down before the trial. In the moment, most parents forget half of them.
