Most problems are solved quickly with a clear, polite message.
Step by step
| Step | When |
|---|---|
| 1. Note specifics | What, when, how often |
| 2. Message the teacher | Early, before it becomes big |
| 3. Agree a change | Try for 2–3 lessons |
| 4. Contact the academy | If it doesn’t improve |
A message template
“Assalamu alaykum. I’ve noticed [specific thing] in the last few lessons. [Your child] seems [effect]. Could we try [suggestion]? JazakAllahu khayran.”
Common concerns and suggestions
| Concern | Suggestion |
|---|---|
| Too fast | “Could we spend more time on each letter?” |
| Too many corrections | “Could you focus on one rule at a time?” |
| Unclear homework | “Could you write the task in the chat?” |
| Little progress | “Could we agree a 3-month goal?” |
| Lessons start late | “Could we make sure we start on time?” |
Safety and conduct
Any concern about safety, inappropriate behaviour or your child’s wellbeing goes straight to the academy. See our Safeguarding Policy.
Keep your child out of it
Discuss concerns with the teacher privately, not in front of your child, so the relationship stays positive.
Teacher’s tip: teachers appreciate early feedback. A problem raised in week two is easy to fix; one raised after six months is much harder.
