What to include
- Credentials and chain — your ijazah, where and under whom you studied.
- Specialisms — Quran, Tajweed, Arabic, Fiqh, Hifz, etc.
- Who you teach — levels and age groups.
- Teaching style — structured, flexible, patient.
- A trial offer and genuine reviews.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do students look for in a teacher's profile?+
Verifiable credentials and chain of learning first, then clear specialisms, the levels and ages you teach, your teaching style, a trial offer, and genuine reviews. Students want to quickly judge whether you're qualified and the right fit for them.
How do I make my teaching profile stand out?+
Be specific and credible rather than generic: name your ijazah and teachers, state exactly who you help and how, show your style, and let real reviews speak. Specificity and verifiable qualification stand out more than marketing language.
Should I offer a trial lesson?+
Yes — a trial dramatically lowers the barrier for new students, who use it to judge fit. Teachers who offer trials typically convert far more browsers into committed students.
