Quran Classes Birmingham — Private One-to-One Lessons

Quran classes in Birmingham are not hard to find. This city has more masjids and madrasahs than almost anywhere in Britain. What is harder to find is a class where one teacher hears one child read, line by line, every week.

That is what these lessons are: a private video call between one student and one qualified teacher, at a time you choose. Families in Small Heath, Sparkbrook, Alum Rock, Bordesley Green, Washwood Heath, Handsworth and Sparkhill get the same lesson as families in Erdington or Sutton Coldfield, because the teacher comes to the screen rather than to the postcode.

None of this replaces what a local madrasah gives a child; it sits beside it. This page is the Birmingham part of our online Quran classes across the UK, and every student begins with a free trial lesson.

Birmingham has no underground. Moving a child across the city at five in the afternoon means a bus, or a car on ring roads built to carry traffic around the centre rather than through it.

So parents here count the evening rather than the miles. Three miles from Handsworth to Sparkhill is twelve minutes on a good day and forty on a wet Wednesday. If the teacher who genuinely suits your child sits on the far side of that, twice a week stops being a small ask.

An online lesson takes the variable out: six o'clock is six o'clock whether it is raining or the A34 is shut. It also saves the classes that get quietly dropped once a term turns busy. Our how it works page sets out what a lesson involves, and younger children usually begin with Quran classes for kids.

Birmingham holds the largest Muslim population in Britain outside London, and it is not one community. Kashmiri and Pakistani families settled here for three generations, Bangladeshi households, Somali, Yemeni, Afghan and Arab families, and a steady number of reverts with no relative to ask.

So no single teacher suits everybody. One mother wants the lesson in English, the only language her son is truly fluent in, even though Mirpuri is what he hears at the dinner table. Another wants Urdu, because that is how she was taught. A third wants an Arabic speaker; a fourth wants a sister for her daughter, and should not have to argue for it.

Since our teachers are tied to no building here, the match is made on what you asked for rather than on who is nearest. Sisters, and parents of daughters, can request one of our qualified female Quran teachers. And where a grandparent taught the older children but cannot manage another beginner, adults often learn alongside the child through our Quran classes for adults.
