- Flexible schedule
- Arabi method training
- Fair pay
- Home or online tutoring
Fair fee per session; the monthly amount scales with guiding hours.
What you teach, with a method to be proud of
Correct talqin before memorising, new memorisation (sabaq), repeating yesterday’s memorisation (sabqi), and reviewing older memorisation (manzil). You keep the verses and tajwid accurate in every recitation. Arabi provides target guides and a memorisation journal.
Talqin before memorising
You read the verses correctly first, so students memorise with reading and tajwid that are already accurate.
Regular setoran and murajaah
New memorisation (sabaq) is added while reviewing older parts (manzil), so it stays firm and mutqin.
Realistic memorisation targets
You set targets that fit each student’s ability, building memorisation gradually so it is firmly held.
From Short Surahs of Juz 30 to Juz 1
Arabi's tahfidz modules are arranged as steps, and you take each learner through them in sequence. The first step is the short surahs of Juz 30, the final part of the Quran. Here the learner meets memorisation for the first time or returns to it after a long gap. You watch the basics closely: makhraj, the exact spot, in mouth or throat, from which a letter's sound comes, the length of each mad, a lengthened vowel, and clean stops at the ends of verses. Getting these right on short surahs protects everything that comes later.
The second step is the medium surahs of Juz 30. Verses grow longer and similar phrases begin to repeat across surahs, which is where learners often mix passages. You introduce a clearer routine built on three layers. Sabaq is the new lesson of the day. Sabqi is the recent memorisation from the past few days, recited to keep it fresh. Manzil is older memorisation, revised in larger portions on a regular cycle. At this step you check that the learner manages all three while earlier surahs stay firm.
The third step is the longer surahs of Juz 30. A single surah can now take several sessions, and the learner needs patience as much as memory. You break each surah into portions the learner can manage, check that tajwid stays steady as speed grows, and pay attention to the joins between portions, where hesitation usually appears. Murajaah carries more weight than ever, and you help the learner find a daily revision habit that fits their life outside lessons.
The fourth step is Juz 1, taken in five parts. Moving from the familiar short surahs to the opening of the Quran is a real change, with long verses and passages that build on each other. Each part becomes a milestone that you and the learner prepare for and review together. You keep watching the same essentials as at the first step, correct reading and firm recall, and you adjust the pace so the learner reaches each part with memorisation that holds.

The Learners a Tahfidz Teacher Walks Beside
Memorisation at Arabi is guided privately, one memoriser per teacher, at the learner's house in your area or through Arabi App. The youngest learners are often small children taking their first short surahs. Young children at this stage thrive on a calm voice, short sittings and plenty of repetition. You use talqin, which means reciting a verse clearly so the child hears it and repeats it after you, until the sounds settle. Parents usually sit nearby and like to hear what their child memorised that day, so a short, cheerful report at the end of each lesson keeps the child encouraged.
Some children come with a clear aim, such as preparing to enter a pesantren, an Islamic boarding school where memorisation is often part of daily life. With them you build steady habits: regular setoran, the moment a learner recites new memorisation to you, and a sense of order in how they revise. Teenagers bring a different situation. Their school days are full, and their task is to keep what they already hold. For them you plan compact sessions, agree on a rhythm they can sustain through exams, and help them see their progress so their motivation stays alive.
Adult memorisers come with intentions of their own. Many want to memorise surahs they can recite in their prayers and in personal devotion, and they value patience and privacy. An adult may feel shy about reciting aloud after years away from the Quran. You listen respectfully, correct gently, and let them choose a speed that suits their working life. Older learners are welcome too, and with them you may slow down, repeat more often and celebrate each passage they carry back into their prayers.
Then there is the learner whose old memorisation is fading. Perhaps they memorised as a child and the surahs have grown faint over the years. This learner needs murajaah, the steady revision of what was memorised before, ahead of new pages. You help them sort what is still firm from what needs rebuilding, and you keep their tajwid (the correct recitation rules) intact while they recover each passage. In every situation you set realistic targets for that particular learner, because memorisation takes time and revision.

- Listen to students’ new memorisation and correct their reading carefully
- Guide murajaah of earlier memorisation so it stays firm and mutqin
- Set realistic memorisation targets that fit each student’s ability
- Build a habit of regular review and gentle, respectful discipline
- Record progress in the journal and report it regularly

An Ordinary Week as an Arabi Tahfidz Teacher
A tahfidz teacher's week is shaped by the mornings, afternoons or evenings you offer. Lesson times with each memoriser are agreed between the two of you, and Arabi's team brings learners to you, so your effort stays on setoran and murajaah. Arabi Method training is completed before your first setoran session, and you receive level-by-level materials and guidance notes for the tahfidz modules, which gives every week a clear structure to start from.
Preparation is quiet and practical. Ahead of every sitting you review that learner's record: which portion was the last sabaq, which surahs need extra murajaah, which letters or rules of tajwid they found difficult. You then plan the session, usually opening with talqin for new verses, followed by setoran and revision. A home visit brings you into the learner's own space in your city, while an online session through Arabi App lets you listen closely from wherever you are. Most tahfidz teachers use both.
Once the session ends, you log the learner's progress in a few lines. You record what was memorised, what held firm in revision and what slipped. Read across several weeks, the log reveals patterns. A child may need shorter new portions, a teenager may need lighter targets during exam season, and an adult may be ready for more. Adjusting targets this way keeps memorisation realistic and steady, and it lets you speak honestly with each learner about how their memorisation is growing.
Payment is made for each tahfidz session you teach, and the month's figure depends on your teaching hours and your role, so a fuller schedule brings a larger month and a lighter one leaves room for study or other work. You do not need to have memorised the whole Quran to teach in this role. What matters is correct reading, patience, and steady commitment to the learners you accompany, alongside thousands of Quran and Arabic teachers across Indonesia.
