How Our Online Quran Classes Work
Every class is one-to-one and live — one student, one teacher, never a group. Lessons are 30 minutes long, run between two and five times a week depending on the plan, and are scheduled in your own time zone. You choose whether the teacher is male or female. Classes are supervised and recorded, so a lesson can be replayed afterwards.
This page explains the format itself: what happens in a lesson, how scheduling works, and what a parent sees. If you want to know what is taught rather than how, start with the four stages of Noorani Qaida or the full course list.
One-to-one, not a group class
A lesson is a single student with a single teacher. Nobody is waiting their turn, and nobody is being carried along at another child's pace. For Qur'an reading in particular this matters: pronunciation errors are corrected in the moment they are made, rather than after a class of ten has repeated them together.
You choose a male or female teacher
Families choose the teacher's gender, not us. This is a fixed choice you make, not something assigned. Many families choose a female teacher for daughters or for mothers learning alongside their children — see female Quran teachers or male Quran teachers.
Teachers who can teach in your child's language
Our teachers speak English, Arabic, Urdu, Hindi and Pushto. A child who speaks no Arabic can still be taught entirely in a language they already understand, which is why beginners do not need any Arabic before starting.
Lesson length and frequency
- 30 minutes per lesson. Short enough to hold a young child's attention, long enough to cover new material and revise.
- Two to five lessons a week, depending on the plan you choose.
- Plans start at $39 a month for two lessons a week. Full details are on class fees and plans.
Scheduling around your week
Class times are confirmed in your own time zone, not ours. For families in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia this is the practical difference between a workable slot and one that lands in the middle of a school night. Slots are arranged around the school week rather than assuming daytime availability.
Supervision and recordings
Classes are supervised and monitored rather than left entirely between teacher and student. Lessons are also recorded, and you can watch recordings of past classes — useful for revising a lesson, and for a parent who could not sit in at the time to see how the class actually went.
Progress and feedback
Parents receive feedback on their child's progress, so you are not relying on asking the child how it went.
Starting: up to three free trial classes
You can try before committing. The trial is up to three classes, with no credit card and no obligation, and the booking is confirmed on WhatsApp.
- Register for a free trial — a short form with your child's details and what you would like them to learn.
- Pick a time that fits the school week — confirmed in your own time zone.
- Meet the teacher and begin — the first lesson doubles as an assessment, so the teacher can hear where the student actually is and start at the right point.

Where to start
If your child has never read Arabic script, start with Noorani Qaida. If they can read but make pronunciation mistakes, Quran with Tajweed is the usual next step. If they read fluently and you are considering memorisation, see Quran memorisation. Not sure? Book a free trial and a teacher will tell you after listening to them read.
