01 — Background

About Rahman School

Rahman School is an online Quran and Arabic education institute, established in 2015 and administered from Cairo, Egypt. It provides live, one-to-one online instruction in Quran reading, Tajweed, Quran memorisation (Hifz), Arabic and Islamic Studies, to both children and adults.

The school works principally with students in English-speaking countries, many of whom are learning to read and recite in Arabic as a language they do not speak at home. Every class is delivered remotely and individually rather than to a group.
