Assalamu Alaykum
I was 17 when I completed my memorisation of the Qur'an. I know this might sound quite old, but I memorised it alone, without a teacher for most of the time. I used to listen to CDs of shaykh Ahmad al-Ajmy and memorise bit by bit.
I then went to my teacher (shaykh Salah al-Ansari) and recited the whole Qur'an to him, and the rest is history.
In total, it took me 6 years to complete. Not bad, considering I did it alone. And being half-blind isn't exactly easy.
But Alhamdulillah, I teach Qur'an and have Ijazah certification to recite in 4 of the 10 Qira'ah. Insha'Allah, I will try to get at least another 3 more.
I'm also a full-time Computer Science student, so I use my Tahajjud to revise 1 juzz per night. I think its the best time to revise because the mind is clear and free.
Wassalam
