The short answer
Yes, your child can have live one-to-one Quran lessons at home anywhere in the UK, at a time you pick, including after a club finishes at 6pm. Each lesson is 30 minutes with one teacher, on a laptop or tablet.
We have no mosque, office or centre in the UK. Everything happens online, and we agree the time with you on WhatsApp in UK time, so you never have to work out the time difference yourself.

GMT and BST
What time will my child’s lesson be in the UK?
Whatever time you book in UK time, because that is the time we schedule and confirm with you. For school-age children the usual window is 4pm to 7pm on school days, or a Saturday or Sunday morning.
Most of our teachers keep Pakistan time, which never changes. The UK does change: clocks go back on Sunday 25 October 2026 and forward again on Sunday 28 March 2027. That moves the gap from four hours in summer to five in winter.
Your lesson stays at the same UK time when the clocks change. Only the Pakistan side moves by an hour.
A UK evening lands in the teacher’s late evening, and a 7pm lesson is midnight for them. That is an ordinary working hour here: lessons run at any hour, seven days a week, so a later slot is not a favour and you don’t need to apologise for asking.
Clubs, homework, tea
Fitting a lesson around a UK school day
For most children the best slot is 30 to 60 minutes after they get home, once they have eaten something. Straight off the school bus, many seven-year-olds are too hungry to read well.
State schools in England are expected to run a school week of at least 32.5 hours, which works out at around six and a half hours a day. Breakfast and after-school clubs typically run from about 8am to 6pm in term time, so a child in wraparound care may not be home until 6pm. A lesson at 6:30pm is perfectly normal for those families.
| Family | Lessons | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Year 2 child home by 3:45pm | Mon and Wed, 4:30pm | After a snack, before tea |
| Year 5 child in after-school club | Tue and Thu, 6:30pm | Home, fed and settled first |
| Two children, one laptop | Mon and Thu, 5:00pm and 5:30pm | One finishes as the other starts |
| Year 8 with football on weekdays | Sat and Sun, 9:30am | Weekdays stay free for training |
| Teenager working on Hifz | Mon to Fri, 7:00am | New lines before school |
Before-school lessons are an option too. A 7am UK lesson is midday in Pakistan in winter, and plenty of Hifz students like it because the mind is fresh and the evening stays free.
Weekend and evening madrasa
Can online lessons sit alongside the local mosque madrasa?
Yes, because the two do different jobs. Children can keep going to the mosque madrasa for the friends, the community and the Eid events, and add one or two online lessons a week for reading aloud to one teacher.
The 2021 Census counted 3.9 million Muslims in England and Wales, 6.5% of the population, and in many towns the evening or weekend madrasa is simply part of growing up. Mum or Dad already does the drop-off; the online lesson just needs a laptop on the kitchen table.
In a busy madrasa class a child may only read to the teacher for a few minutes. At home, the whole half hour is theirs, so a weak letter or a skipped madd is noticed every time. Tell the teacher what the madrasa covers and they will work on reading and Tajweed rather than repeating the same lesson.
Some families go the other way: the madrasa ended at a convenient age, the nearest one is too far, or a child simply did not settle in a big room. For them online lessons replace it. If you are weighing that up, our comparison of online and mosque classes sets out the honest trade-offs.
A real routine
A sample week for a UK primary school child
Two or three lessons a week is enough for most children to make steady progress. Here is a routine that works well for a nine-year-old who goes to a Saturday madrasa and swims on Wednesdays.
- Mon4:45pm Quran reading
- TueNo lesson
- WedNo lesson
- Thu4:45pm Quran reading
- FriNo lesson
- SatMosque madrasa, morning
- Sun10:30am Tajweed
An example, not a fixed timetable. Lessons can go at any hour; tell us what your week looks like.
Monday and Thursday keep a gap between lessons for practice. The Sunday lesson is the longest stretch of attention in the week, so it is used for Tajweed rules, which need a calmer head than a Monday after school.
Courses
What your child learns, wherever they are starting from
Beginners start with Noorani Qaida, and the first trial class shows the teacher where your child really is. A child who reads at madrasa but guesses at harakat may start a few lessons back, which is no bad thing.
Noorani Qaida
Letters, sounds and joining until your child reads words on their own. From age 4.
Tajweed
Reading the Quran correctly: makharij, madd, ghunnah and where to stop.
Hifz
Memorisation with daily revision, usually four or five lessons a week.
Islamic Studies
Salah, Wudu, duas, the life of the Prophet ﷺ and good manners, explained in English.
Lessons are explained in English, which suits children who think in English even when Urdu, Bengali, Somali or Arabic is spoken at home. Recitation itself is always in Arabic.
The school year
Half terms, holidays and Ramadan 2027
Lessons carry on through half term unless you ask to change them, and holidays are a good time to move to a morning slot. Term dates in England are set by each council, and academies and independent schools can set their own, so check with your child’s school.
To give one example, North Somerset Council has October half term from 26 to 30 October 2026, the Christmas holiday from 21 December 2026 to 1 January 2027, and February half term from 15 to 19 February 2027. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland follow their own calendars.
Note the October weekend. In that example the clocks go back on Sunday 25 October, the day before half term starts, so the first week of winter time is a holiday week anyway, and an easy time to try a new lesson slot.
Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin around Monday 8 February, depending on the moon sighting, which puts it in the spring term and across February half term. Many families move lessons to just after iftar or to the weekend. Message us when your Ramadan routine is clear and we agree new times.
Watching and reports
What you see as a parent
You can sit beside your child or watch any lesson live, and every month you get a progress report. Our class supervisors are women, and they follow up if a lesson is missed or something does not feel right.
- Your child does most of the reading, not the teacher
- Mistakes are corrected gently, with the right sound said back
- The lesson starts on time and lasts the full 30 minutes
- You can understand the teacher’s explanations in English
What you need at home: a laptop or tablet with a camera and microphone, headphones, a quiet table away from the telly, and steady Wi-Fi.
Before you pay
Start with up to 3 free trial classes
You can book up to 3 free trial classes with no card details. Send your country and WhatsApp number, and we message you to agree a UK time and whether you would like a male or female teacher.
Use the trial to test the slot as much as the teacher. If 4:30pm turns out to be too soon after school, try 5:30pm in the next trial class.
Paying from the UK
How much are lessons, and why the price is in dollars
Plans start at $39 a month for two 30-minute lessons a week, and every family is billed in US dollars, including in the UK. Your card or bank converts the amount from pounds, so the sterling figure on your statement can move a little from month to month with the exchange rate.
Plans run from two to five lessons a week, and all four are on the fees page. Refund requests must be made within 5 calendar days of the first paid class; the full terms are in our refund policy. Parents rate us 4.8 out of 5 on Trustpilot.
Frequently asked questions
Do you have a Quran centre in London or Birmingham?
No. We have no centre, office or teachers’ base anywhere in the UK. Every lesson is online, so a child in Bradford, Glasgow or Cardiff has the same lessons as one in east London.
What happens to my child’s lesson when the clocks change?
Nothing on your side: the lesson stays at the same UK time. After the clocks go back on 25 October 2026, a 4:30pm lesson is 9:30pm for the teacher instead of 8:30pm, and we handle that.
Can my child have a lesson at 7pm or later on a school night?
Yes. Lessons run at any hour, so a 7pm UK lesson is simply a midnight lesson for the teacher. Just make sure it is not so late that your child is too tired to read.
Can my daughter have a female teacher?
Yes. Ask for a female teacher when we message you and we match her with one; no reason needed. Male teachers are available too, and our class supervisors are women.
My son already goes to madrasa. Is an online lesson too much?
Not usually, if it is one or two short lessons a week with a different job, such as reading aloud or Tajweed. If he starts dreading the week, cut back, and tell us.
Will the teacher understand a child who mostly speaks English?
Yes. Lessons are explained in English, and the teacher keeps the words simple for younger children. The Quran itself is recited in Arabic.
Do lessons stop during school holidays?
No, they carry on unless you ask us to change them. Many families keep the same slot or move to a morning time while there is no school run.
Can I pay in pounds?
Fees are billed in US dollars for every country, and your card converts from pounds. Prices start at $39 a month; see the plans and fees page.
Is there a free trial for UK families?
Yes. You can book up to 3 free trial classes with no card required, and we confirm the time with you on WhatsApp.
