The trial class is the most important step in our admission process. It is a free session designed to allow students and parents to evaluate your teaching style and communication skills. A successful trial class locks in new students, creates job opportunities, and helps expand our institution.

Your Goal: Impress the student and the parent to secure the admission.

Phase 1: Preparation (Before You Join)

Before clicking "Join," ensure you are technically ready.

• Check Technology: Ensure your internet connection is stable and your laptop is working fine.

• Open Materials: Have the specific books open on your screen:

  • Noorani Qaida

  • Quran Pak

  • Daily Essentials Book
    
    

Phase 2: The Step-by-Step Trial Class Framework

Follow this exact flow to ensure a professional and effective class.

Step 1: Basic Greetings & Ice Breaking (With Student)

Target: Create a friendly environment.

• Say Assalam Alikum.

• Ask introductory questions:

  • "How are you?"

  • "What is your good name?"

  • "Do you go to school? What is the name of your school?"

  • "In which class or grade are you right now?"
    
    

Step 2: Teacher Introduction (With Parent)

Target: Build trust and authority. Action: Ask the student: "Can you please call your mom or dad? Can you give the mic to them?"

The Script:

"Mashallah, your child is very smart. By the way, my name is [Name]. I am from [Country]. I have done my Bachelor's degree in [Your Degree] from [University]. I memorized the Quran at the age of 12. I love teaching the Quran, and I am so happy to have you in my class."

Step 3: The Assessment (Taking the Test)

Target: Check the level of the student. Action: Ask the parent: "Can you please tell me where you want your son/daughter to start?" or state "I will take a test to check their level."

Rules for Testing:

1. Always start easy: Begin with the easy part and gradually move to the difficult part.

2. Use the Highlighter: Highlight words on the screen (increase thickness/color for visibility).

3. Test Randomly: Do not listen to the whole page. Pick random words (maximum 1-2 words per page).

4. Skip Repeated Words: If testing from the same lesson, skip repeated words.

5. Stop Point: Continue until the student struggles.

6. Correct Immediately: Fix mistakes instantly to ensure proper learning.
   
   

4 Scenarios for Testing:

• Scenario A (Beginner): If the student knows nothing, do not take a test. Start directly from the first page of the Qaida.

• Scenario B (Middle of Qaida): If they want to start from the middle (e.g., Lesson 6), test them on previous lessons starting from the first page up to their current level.

• Scenario C (Start of Quran): If they just finished Qaida and want to start the Quran, no test is needed (or optional test from Qaida).

• Scenario D (Middle of Quran): If they are on a specific Juz (e.g., 17th or 27th), test them on the previous Juz. Alternatively, skip 10 pages of Surah Baqarah and test a difficult part.
  
  

Step 4: The Review & Suggestion (With Parent)

Target: Share honest feedback and set a learning path.

If testing from Qaida:

"Mashallah, he/she is very smart. He is good in letters/joint letters/signs, but he does not know about [Specific Rule, e.g., Madd]. I personally suggest starting from [e.g., Lesson 6] related to Madd letters."

If testing from Quran:

"He/she is able to read the Quran. However, I personally think he/she is not good at reciting with proper Tajweed and fluency. Don't worry, I will help him/her learn with proper Tajweed."

The Suggestion:

"I personally suggest starting from Juz Amma (Para 30) because the Ayahs and Surahs are short and easy."

Step 5: The Lesson (15-20 Minutes)

Target: Demonstrate your teaching style.

• Say: "Let's start our lesson for today. First I will read, and then you will repeat after me."

• Teach for 15 to 20 minutes.
  
  

Step 6: Islamic Studies & Dua (5 Minutes)

Target: Add value beyond reading.

• Ask basic questions:

  • "Do you know the Dua for drinking milk? Can you read it for me?"

  • "Do you know how many prayers there are in the life of a Muslim?"

  • "Tell me the names of the 5 Salah."

• Action: If they know it, say "Well done, Excellent." If they don't know, teach them one small Dua (e.g., Dua for drinking milk) right then.

• Promise: "Inshallah, I will help you memorize 55 daily essential Duas."
  
  

Step 7: Closing & Feedback

1. Student Review:

"I think this is enough for today. Can you please tell me, did you like our trial class or not?"

2. Parent Review (Call them back):

"Brother/Sister, I have finished my class with [Student Name]. I gave him a small lesson from [Lesson Name/Surah]. If you want to share your feedback or ask any questions, feel free to ask."

3. Final Goodbye:

"Mashallah, your son/daughter is very smart and intelligent. I am so happy to teach him/her. Let’s meet in our next class. Assalam Alikum."
