Most British Muslim children learn the Quran at an evening madrasah or mosque class, often with 15 to 30 children and one teacher. Many do well, but many parents tell us the same thing: their child "goes" for years but still reads slowly and with mistakes, because there is so little one-to-one time. Online one-to-one lessons give your child a full 30 minutes of a teacher's attention, at home, without the evening drive.
This page is for parents of children. For adults and general information, see our UK Quran classes page.
A typical week for a child in the UK
UK children typically finish school between 3:00 and 3:30 pm. Our families usually choose one fixed after-school slot, Monday to Friday, and many add weekend revision.
| Child | Lessons | Popular local times |
|---|
| Ages 4-6 (Reception to Year 2) | 30 minutes, 3-5 days a week | 4:00-6:00 pm, or Saturday and Sunday mornings |
| Ages 7-11 (Years 3-6) | 30 minutes, 5 days a week | 4:30-7:00 pm, after homework or clubs |
| Ages 11-16 (secondary) | 30 minutes, 5 days a week | 6:00-8:00 pm, or before school in winter |
| Hifz students | 30 minutes daily + home revision | Fixed daily slot plus weekend manzil |

Fitting Quran around the British school year
- Half-terms and holidays: lessons continue unless you pause them. Many families use the Easter or summer break for an extra lesson a day to finish a Qaida stage or a surah.
- Clock changes: your lesson stays at the same UK time when clocks move between GMT and BST in March and October.
- SATs, GCSEs and A-levels: we can switch to revision-only lessons for a few weeks so memorised surahs are not lost.
- Ramadan: many families move lessons to after iftar or to the weekend; tell your teacher in advance.
What UK parents usually ask us for
Most UK families come to us with one of three goals. Younger children need a strong start in the Noorani Qaida so they do not carry reading mistakes for years. Children aged 8 to 12 who attend a mosque class often need one-to-one help to read fluently and stop guessing. And many families want short-surah memorisation or Hifz that survives the pressure of secondary school. Tell us your goal on the trial form and the teacher will plan the first month around it.
Your child's learning path
- Noorani Qaida (usually 3 to 6 months for young children): letters, joined letters, harakat and tanween. See all Noorani Qaida lessons.
- Short surahs and duas alongside the Qaida: Al-Fatiha, Al-Ikhlas, the Quls and the Juz Amma memorisation order.
- Reading the Quran (Nazra) with the first Tajweed rules.
- Optional Hifz once reading is fluent, with a daily routine that fits school.
Safety, parents and teachers
UK parents often ask whether teachers have a DBS check. A DBS check is a UK system and generally covers people with a UK address and history; teachers based outside the UK cannot normally obtain one. Rather than rely on a certificate, use the safeguards that matter in a home lesson:
- Your child learns on your family device, in a shared room, and you control the video link.
- Parents can watch any lesson, and lessons are one-to-one with the same teacher.
- Female teachers are available for girls and young children.
- Ask us directly what checks apply to your child's teacher before you start; a good academy should answer clearly.
