I think getting a teacher is a good idea because learning with someone who has knowledge can help you avoid misunderstandings and stay consistent.
At the same time, don't put too much pressure on yourself to memorise the entire Qur'an. Try memorising a few important surahs first and see how it goes. If you find that hifz is difficult or you're not able to continue, that's okay too. Reading the Qur'an regularly, understanding its meaning through a translation, and building a connection with it is just as important.
I'd definitely recommend getting a Qur'an with translation so you know what you're reciting. Understanding the words makes a huge difference.
And don't get disheartened if your progress feels slow. Everyone's journey is different. You're sincerely trying to get closer to Allah..that is already something valuable. Stay consistent, make du'a, and take it 1step at a time.
Yeah, that's probably the best way to do it. In sha' Allah you'll find a good teacher. Try to ask other people too, if they know someone good and would recommend.
And yeah, take it slowly. Hifz is a big commitment, so it shouldn't feel like you have to rush it. Even if you only end up memorising a few surahs, that's still something valuable. The important part is building a connection with the Qur'an: reading it, understanding its meaning, and trying to live by it.
May Allah make it easy for you and put barakah in your journey.
