I really wish I could have helped you sister but I cannot think of any female hifz teachers. Another alternative is to have a well versed Tajweed teacher with a good memorisation system who doesn't really have to be a haafidhah. I say this because once I talked to another really good tajweed teacher who said that this other wonderful ustaadhah had done hifz with her mother. I automatically asked her if mum was a haafidhah, she said to me that she wasn't but had a brilliant memorisation system which helped her students progress. She even made her own son haafidh this way.

The sister I was talking about works in a madrasah, where she says the best hifz teacher is not a haafidh. We agreed that Tajweed was more essential. Of course others will say that no matter what the teacher must be haafidhah herself but if all goes down to the point that you can't find a Haafidhah then inshaa Allah consider this. Hopefully there are more teachers with ijazahs in Tajweed that maybe able to help. It also depends on whether they can have a very good memorisation system.

One of the tough things nowadays is that some people do hifz without proper Tajweed. So you can have many haafizahs but it will be hard to find a proper master in the Tajweed.

Again if I find such a gem I will inshaa Allah let you know. May Allah make it easy for you. Ameen.

PS: are you coming to as suffa this year?
