Online Arabic Tutor — Learn with an Al-Azhar Trained Scholar

At Rawdh, membership is £50 per month or £500 per year (about £41.67/month). That includes live 1-to-1 sessions, recordings, a structured curriculum and daily spaced-repetition drills — priced well below the typical £20–£40 per hour rate of independent Arabic tutors.

You can pick up letters, some vocabulary and phrases from apps and YouTube, but progressing beyond beginner level almost always stalls without a teacher who corrects your pronunciation, answers grammar questions and holds you to a curriculum. Adults who reach real reading comprehension almost universally studied with a tutor.

Yes. Most Rawdh students start from zero. We begin with the Arabic alphabet, Tajwid basics and simple vocabulary using the Madinah Arabic method, then build to reading classical texts. Your learning plan is set on your free call.

Reading and understanding simple Classical Arabic typically takes 12–18 months of consistent study with a tutor (about 3–5 hours a week). Fluent reading of the Qur'an with grammar understanding is a 2–3 year path. Everyone's pace differs — the free learning plan call gives you a realistic timeline.

Yes. Every Rawdh lesson is live and online, so students in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow — anywhere in the UK — get the same teacher and curriculum. Sessions run mornings and evenings in UK time.

Our lead scholar is Yusuf Ashraf, an Al-Azhar University graduate (B.A. Islamic Studies, Highest Honours) with multiple ijazat and six-plus years of teaching Arabic to non-native speakers. He teaches every class personally.
