💰 Price & Payment

Each class is either $5 per hour for flexible private sessions or $36 for the full 12-day beginner plan.

Please contact me before sending any payment to confirm my availability. I may be teaching other students or taking a short break (for prayer, food, or rest). If you send payment without checking, don’t worry—your class will be secured for the next available time.

Class Schedules:

I’m available for sessions during the following times in Addis Ababa Time (UTC+3):

  • Morning: 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM
  • Afternoon: 1:30 PM – 3:30 PM and 4:25 PM – 6:30 PM
  • Evening: 9:00 PM – 10:00 PM

I’ll do my best to stick to this schedule, but please be aware that as a Muslim, I need to take short breaks for Salah (prayer). Since these prayer times change based on the sun’s position, our class schedule may shift slightly from day to day. Thank you for your understanding.
