Questions parents ask
How will my child be matched with Ustadha Sumaiya?
After you book a free trial, our admissions team reviews your child's age, current level, program interest, and any teacher preferences you share. We make the match — and the trial session is your family's chance to confirm it feels right.
What if my child is nervous about their first class?
That is completely normal, and our teachers are trained to handle it. The first session is gentle and exploratory — no pressure, no testing. The goal is simply for your child to feel comfortable and curious.
Can I observe a class before deciding to enrol?
Yes. Parents are welcome to sit in on the free trial class. We encourage it — seeing the teacher's approach firsthand is one of the best ways to feel confident in the match.
What happens if the teacher is unavailable for a scheduled class?
We give as much advance notice as possible. If a session needs to be rescheduled, we work around your family's availability to find the next available slot — and the missed class is never forfeited.
Does the teacher communicate in English?
Yes. All of our teachers are conversant in English and instruction is delivered in English. Qur'anic Arabic is introduced progressively as part of the learning — not as a language barrier.
Can I change teachers after the trial if the fit isn't right?
Absolutely. Teacher fit matters more than convenience. If the trial reveals a mismatch in style, pace, or personality, we will arrange an alternative — no questions, no friction.
