“This is a simplified and well-illustrated course with all the basics of tajweed. I especially liked how the teacher did the process of going over the rules before the recitation of each Surah in juz amma. Sr Ambreen has a special gift of being gentle and reassuring but also being firm at the same time when redirecting from mistakes. This helped me feel calm and focus better.
