Yes. Murouj Academy teaches Tajweed to women and girls only with female teachers, in private one-to-one online lessons where the teacher corrects your recitation live. Your first class is a free trial.
Tajweed is a spoken skill. The teacher has to hear you, see your mouth form each letter and correct you again and again, and many sisters are more comfortable doing that with a woman. At Murouj Academy this is a fixed rule, not a favour we try to arrange:

One teacher, one student, 30, 45 or 60 minutes, live on Zoom, Google Meet or Halqora, Murouj's own online classroom software.
The Tajweed classes course moves from letters and their sounds to length, stopping and fluency. The rules include noon sakinah and tanween, meem sakinah and madd, and your teacher applies them to the passage you actually read. If you already read fluently and mainly want mistakes corrected, see Quran recitation correction. Our guides explain Tajweed rules for beginners and common Tajweed mistakes.
Every teacher is a native Arabic speaker, and only the top 4% of applicants qualify. Selection has five steps: an ijazah and recitation check, a Tajweed knowledge check, a teaching skills check, an English fluency check, and a mock lesson with a team member playing the student. Some teachers hold an ijazah, and each profile states which. Murouj matches the teacher for your free trial, and if the fit is not right we switch to another.
See every profile on the teachers page, or read about female Quran teachers online.

Questions
Answers to what parents and students ask us most.
Ask us on WhatsAppYes. Murouj Academy teaches Tajweed to women and girls only with female teachers, one-to-one and live on video. A male teacher never teaches a woman or a girl. You start with a free trial class with a female teacher we match to you.
Yes, and that is the most common reason sisters join. You recite, the teacher stops you at each mistake, names the rule or the letter involved, models the sound and has you repeat. Fixing it in private is easier than in a group.
You need to read the letters first. If you cannot yet, you begin with the Noorani Qaida with a female teacher, and move on to Tajweed once you can read.
No. Women's privacy is respected on both sides of the screen: with a female teacher, a non-mahram man must not be on camera or watching, and that includes the teacher's side too. A mother or a sister is welcome to sit in, and lessons are never recorded.
The Tajweed classes course covers letters and their articulation points, noon sakinah and tanween, meem sakinah, madd, and stopping and starting. Your teacher applies each rule to the passage you read rather than to examples alone.
There is no honest single number. It depends on your starting level, how many classes a week you take and how much you practise. Your teacher reviews a plan with you in the first weeks.
Tajweed is the foundation for memorisation and for ijazah study, so these lessons support either goal. Some of our teachers hold an ijazah, and each profile states which.
Lessons are booked in your local time in the US, Canada, the UK or Australia. Our teachers work to US hours, so daytime slots while children are at school, evenings and weekends are the usual choices. Slots in other regions are arranged at the free trial.
Your free trial class is with a teacher Murouj matches to you, and if the fit is not right, Murouj switches to another teacher. Women and girls always learn with female teachers.
