This study aims to find out the implementation of the Tahsin method, as well as its supporting and inhibiting factors, in guiding students who have difficulty reading the Qur'an at the As'adiyah Baburrahman Galung Beru Islamic Boarding School. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection uses observation, interviews, and audio recordings. The informants in this study consisted of the head of the foundation, Tahsin teachers, and students. The collected data are analyzed using qualitative data analysis techniques, including data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results of the study show that the implementation of the Tahsin method is carried out gradually and continuously through the learning of makhārij al-ḥurūf (the place where letters come out), the laws of tajweed, binnaẓar (reading by looking at the mushaf), and preparation for the tahfidz program (memorizing the Qur'an). This activity is carried out nightly, with evaluations through deposit books and congregational prayer practices. Implementing the Tahsin method significantly improves students' ability to read the Qur'an. Supporting factors include a strong foundation, competent teachers, regular learning schedules, and parental involvement. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include differences in students' initial reading ability, difficulty reciting certain hijaiyah letters, time limitations, and the duration needed for the reading improvement process.
