Quran classes in the UK
Online Quran Classes UK — Live One-to-One Lessons
Qualified teachers, private video lessons, and evening slots that follow the UK clock all year round — for children and adults from London to Glasgow.
Learn the Quran from home, anywhere in the UK
Our online Quran classes for UK families are live, one-to-one video lessons with a qualified teacher, booked at times that fit a British school week and a British working day. You pick the evenings, we match you with a teacher, and the first class is free — no card details, no commitment.
Lessons happen in your own front room, so nobody is driving across town at five o'clock in January drizzle. Whether your child is meeting the Arabic letters for the first time, you are an adult who never quite finished the Qaida, or you want to begin Hifz properly, every lesson is private: one teacher, one student, the Quran on screen, and your recitation corrected as you read. Sisters and parents of daughters can ask for one of our female Quran teachers from the very first lesson.
Families join us from London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bradford, Leicester, Luton, Blackburn, Glasgow and Cardiff — and from smaller towns where the nearest qualified teacher is a long drive away. If you would like to see exactly how a lesson runs before you commit, our how it works page walks through it step by step.
Why UK families choose us
Built around the British school week
Evening slots, 4pm to 9pm
Most UK schools finish between 3pm and 3:30pm. Our teachers hold that after-school window open, so the lesson lands between homework and bedtime instead of fighting with either.
GMT and BST handled for you
Your slot is stored in UK time. When the clocks go forward in March and back in October, a 6pm lesson is still a 6pm lesson — nothing to rebook, nothing to work out.
One-to-one, never a group
Your teacher hears every letter your child reads. A mistake gets corrected in the same lesson rather than going unnoticed at the back of a room of thirty.
Pause or reduce during exams
GCSE and A-level season is relentless. Drop to one class a week, or pause for a few weeks entirely, and pick the sabaq back up once the last paper is done.
No dark winter journeys
No walk to the mosque at 5pm in December, no second school run, no waiting in the car outside. The lesson happens at your kitchen table with a parent in earshot.
Patient with nervous beginners
Plenty of British Muslim adults can pray but never learnt to read properly. There is no group to feel embarrassed in front of here, and no judgement about starting at the alphabet.
Class times that follow the UK clock
This is what UK parents ask about first, so here it is plainly: you book your lesson in UK time and it stays in UK time. Our teachers work across several time zones, but your slot is anchored to the clock on your kitchen wall. When Britain moves to British Summer Time on the last Sunday in March, and back to GMT on the last Sunday in October, your 6:00pm class is still at 6:00pm. There is nothing to rebook and no hour to add or subtract.
The busiest window by a distance is 4pm to 7pm on weekdays — school ends, there is a snack and twenty minutes of decompressing, and then the lesson. We keep teachers available right through to 9pm for older students and for working adults, and weekend mornings are popular with families who would rather keep school nights clear.
A typical week for a UK family often looks like this:
- Monday, 4:30pm — a 30-minute Qaida lesson for a seven-year-old, straight after school while she is still switched on.
- Wednesday, 6:00pm — the same teacher, the same slot, after dinner.
- Saturday, 10:00am — a longer 45-minute session with no school-night pressure.
Half-term weeks and the long summer holiday are yours to use however you like. Some families keep the usual rhythm going, some add a daytime class while the mornings are free, and others pause for a fortnight in August — tell your teacher in advance and your slot is held for you. If you travel over the holidays, lessons can carry on from wherever you are; a laptop and a decent signal is the whole requirement.

Online classes and the local madrasah
Most British Muslim families already have a madrasah option — the after-school class at the local mosque, usually five evenings a week, often twenty or thirty children to one teacher. It is a genuinely valuable thing and we are not going to pretend otherwise. It gives children a community, friends who are learning the same thing, and a routine that has served generations of families in this country.
What a large group cannot always give is individual attention. A child who is quietly guessing at a word can go a long time before anyone notices. There is the dash across town after school, the wait in the car, and the walk home in the dark from October through to March. And the fixed 5pm-to-7pm block sits exactly where homework, football practice and dinner also want to be.
One-to-one online is a different trade-off. Your child has the teacher's full attention for every minute, you choose the two or three evenings that actually work, and nobody leaves the house. Many families do both — madrasah for the community, an online Tajweed class or Hifz programme for the focused work that needs one-to-one time. If you are unsure which suits your child, take a free trial class and watch how they respond.
Getting started
How to start Quran classes from the UK
Four straightforward steps, and the first lesson costs you nothing at all.
- 1
Tell us your UK time slot
Sign up in a minute and give us the evenings that suit you — Tuesday and Thursday at 5:30pm, say — along with the student's age and current level.
- 2
Meet your teacher, free
The first class is a free trial and we do not ask for card details to book it. Sit in on it, listen, and judge whether the teacher is right for your child.
- 3
Choose a plan that fits
Two, three or five classes a week. You can move up or down later, or pause during exam season, without losing your regular slot.
- 4
Settle into a weekly rhythm
The same teacher at the same times each week, with regular progress updates so you always know how the reading is really coming along.
Classes for every member of the family
Whether it is a Year 3 pupil meeting the alphabet or a parent returning to the Quran after twenty years, there is a course and a teacher for it.
Quran classes for kids
Short, lively 30-minute lessons pitched at primary and secondary age, with teachers who know how to hold the attention of a tired after-school brain.
Quran classes for kidsComplete beginners
Start with the Noorani Qaida — letters, sounds and joining them together — before moving on to fluent reading. No prior Arabic needed whatsoever.
Noorani Qaida courseAdults and reverts
Learn privately, at your own pace, with nobody else listening in. Late-evening slots work well around a full-time job or a long commute.
Quran classes for adultsSisters and mothers
Qualified female teachers and private one-to-one lessons, including daytime slots while the children are at school.
Quran classes for sistersWhat it costs, and why you are billed in dollars
Three monthly plans, every one of them one-to-one and cancel-anytime:
- $35 a month — 2 classes a week, roughly £28.
- $50 a month — 3 classes a week, roughly £39.
- $80 a month — 5 classes a week, roughly £63. This is the usual choice for Hifz students.
Now the honest part. We bill in US dollars, not in pounds. Your card is charged the dollar amount and your bank converts it, so the sterling figure on your statement will drift by a pound or two from month to month as the exchange rate moves, and some UK cards add a small foreign transaction fee on top. The pound figures above are a guide, not a fixed price. We would far rather say that here than have you discover it on your statement.
Nothing else gets added: no registration fee, no books to buy, no minimum term, and no penalty for cancelling. Your first class is a free trial and we do not take card details to book it. The full plans are on our pricing page, and our FAQ page covers rescheduling, missed classes and how cancelling works.
Questions from UK families
The things British parents and students ask us most often before booking a first class.
What time are your online Quran classes in the UK?
Most UK families book between 4pm and 7pm on weekdays, straight after school, and we have teachers available from 4pm through to 9pm UK time, seven days a week. Weekend mornings are popular too. You choose your slot when you sign up and it stays the same every week.
Do class times change when the clocks go forward or back?
No. Your slot is set in UK local time, so it moves with the clocks automatically. A 6pm lesson booked during GMT in the winter is still a 6pm lesson after the switch to BST in March. There is nothing to rebook and no hour to add or subtract yourself.
Will online classes clash with our local madrasah?
They do not have to. Plenty of our UK students attend the mosque madrasah and take one or two online classes a week alongside it, usually for focused Tajweed or Hifz work that is hard to get in a large group. Tell us which evenings your madrasah runs and we will book around them.
Can we pause classes during GCSEs or A-levels?
Yes. You can drop to fewer classes a week or pause your subscription altogether during exam season and start again afterwards. Give your teacher some notice and we will hold your regular slot wherever we can, so you come back to the same teacher and the same time.
What happens during half-term and the summer holidays?
Whatever suits your family. Some keep the usual schedule running, some add daytime classes while the mornings are free, and some pause for a couple of weeks. Just let your teacher know in advance so the slot is not offered to someone else.
Am I charged in pounds or in US dollars?
In US dollars. The plans are $35, $50 and $80 a month, which works out at roughly £28, £39 and £63 depending on the exchange rate on the day. Your bank handles the conversion, so the sterling amount on your statement varies slightly month to month, and some UK cards add a foreign transaction fee.
Is an online class safe for my child?
Every class is one-to-one over video and we encourage parents to stay within earshot, or to sit in on lessons entirely — many do for the first few weeks. Teachers are screened for their recitation, Tajweed and teaching ability before they meet a student, and you can request a female teacher for your daughter.
My children only speak English. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Classes are taught in English for most of our UK students, which suits children born and schooled here. If you would prefer Urdu or Arabic, or a mixture of English and Urdu, say so when you sign up and we will match you with a teacher who speaks it.
