Frequently asked questions

Fill in the free trial form with four details: the student’s name, a WhatsApp number, the course you are interested in and a preferred time. We confirm your slot on WhatsApp, usually within a few hours. No card details are taken at any point.

Yes. It is a free 30-minute one-to-one class with no card required and no obligation to continue. Its purpose is to assess the student’s actual level and let you judge whether the tutor is a good fit. If it is not right, you are under no pressure to book anything further.

A phone, tablet or computer with a working camera and microphone, and a reasonable internet connection. Nothing else. Your tutor will share any materials needed. A physical Mushaf or Qaida is useful but not required to begin.

If you cannot yet read Arabic letters, start with Noorani Qaida. If you can read but slowly, start with Quran Recitation. If you read fluently and want the rules formally, start with Tajweed-ul-Quran. If you are unsure, book the trial and the tutor will assess honestly and recommend a starting point, including telling you if a different course would serve you better.

Usually within a few days of the trial. Once you have agreed a schedule with your tutor, regular classes begin at the next available slot in that schedule.

Always one-to-one. Every class is a single student with a single tutor. We do not run group sessions and we do not use pre-recorded lessons, because reciting aloud and being corrected in the moment is the entire method.

Typically 30 minutes for younger children and 45 minutes for adults. Attention span rather than content is usually the limiting factor, so shorter and more frequent works better than long and occasional.

Three a week suits most students. Two is workable for adults with limited time, though progress is slower. Hifz students generally need five, because memorisation depends on daily revision. Your tutor will recommend a realistic frequency for your goal rather than the maximum.

Yes. Female tutors are available for female students and for children, and you can request one when you book. This is a standard arrangement rather than a special case, and many of the families we teach prefer it.

Yes. You keep the same tutor session to session, so nobody has to re-explain their level or goals each week and the tutor builds a real sense of where the student struggles. If the match is not working, tell us and we will change it without any awkwardness.

All of them. Our students are spread across the UK, North America, Europe, Australia and the Gulf, and tutors schedule accordingly. Early morning and late evening slots are common. Tell us the windows that work for you and we will match you with a tutor who can teach in them.

Yes. Our tutors are certified in Quranic sciences and Islamic studies, and teach both children and adults. Male and female tutors are available.

Yes, and many parents do, particularly in the first few weeks. It helps you understand what is being taught so you can reinforce it at home, which makes a considerable difference to how quickly a child progresses.

English, with Arabic terms explained as they arise. Tutors can also teach in Urdu if that is easier for the student. You do not need to speak or read Arabic to start any of our courses.

We generally start from around age five, when a child can sit through a short focused session and repeat sounds accurately. Some children are ready earlier. The trial class is the simplest way to judge, and the tutor will tell you honestly if it is worth waiting a few months.

Yes, and a substantial share of our students are adults learning to read the Quran for the first time. Because classes are one-to-one, an adult beginner is never placed alongside children. Adults often move through the alphabet faster than children, though they sometimes need more practice on articulation points.

Most complete beginners finish Noorani Qaida in three to six months at three classes a week, then reach comfortable fluency over a further six to twelve months. Reading the short surahs needed for prayer usually comes much sooner, often within a few weeks.

Memorising the full Quran typically takes three to five years at five classes a week. The single biggest factor is not natural memory but whether daily revision happens outside class. Many students set a defined goal instead, such as Juz Amma or the last three juz, which is a complete achievement in its own right.

No. Those classes are taught in English and your tutor reads and translates the Arabic throughout. Being able to read the Mushaf helps you follow along but is not a prerequisite. Many students study meaning and recitation in parallel.

Your tutor keeps a record of what has been covered, what is secure and what needs revisiting, and you receive a short written note after each class. For children this gives parents something concrete to reinforce at home. Progress in Quran learning is gradual and easy to lose sight of, so the record also shows how far a student has come when motivation dips.

Yes, and many families do. A common arrangement is Quran reading or Hifz on some days and Islamic Studies on others. Tell us what you want and we will schedule around it.

Fees depend on how many classes a week you take and which course you choose, so we discuss them directly rather than publishing a single rate that would not fit most students. Your tutor will set out the options at the end of the free trial, with no obligation to continue. You can also ask us on WhatsApp before booking if you would rather know first.

No. The trial is free, no card details are taken, and there is no charge of any kind unless you decide to continue and agree a schedule with us.

Yes. Schedules shift with school terms, work and travel, and we expect that. Give your tutor as much notice as you can and we will find alternative slots.

Let your tutor know in advance where possible and we will look at rescheduling. Occasional missed classes are normal and not a problem; a pattern of them is worth a conversation, because consistency is what determines progress far more than the number of classes booked.

Yes. Many families pause for school holidays or adjust their schedule during Ramadan, and some increase their classes instead. Tell us what you need and we will arrange it.

WhatsApp is fastest and is how most of our students reach us. You can also email or use the contact form. We reply within a few hours, seven days a week.
