Live one-on-one lessons on Zoom with Muhammad Areeb, the same teacher every time. Weekend afternoons suit families across Australia. On weekdays, lessons start in the evening, which works best in Perth and for older learners in the east.
Teaching hours are set in Pakistan time, and Australian afternoons fall before teaching starts in Pakistan. On weekdays, lessons start at 8 pm in Brisbane all year, and at 8 pm in Sydney and Melbourne from April to October. During daylight saving, from October to April, Sydney and Melbourne start at 9 pm. Adelaide starts at 7:30 pm (8:30 pm in daylight saving) and Perth at 6 pm all year. For children on the east coast, that leaves few weekday slots.
Weekends are the strongest option everywhere. On Saturday and Sunday, lessons start at 3 pm in Brisbane, and at 3 pm in Sydney and Melbourne outside daylight saving (4 pm during it). Adelaide starts at 2:30 pm (3:30 pm in daylight saving) and Perth at 1 pm. All of them run into the evening. A 30-minute lesson after weekend sport or before dinner is easy to keep, and two weekend lessons plus one weekday evening adds up to the three-a-week plan.
Perth families have the easiest school nights: a lesson at 6 or 6:30 pm fits between homework and dinner. On the east coast, an 8 pm lesson suits teenagers and adults. Younger children are often tired by then, so a weekend lesson suits them better. In the coming years Ramadan falls mostly in the Australian summer, when iftar in Sydney is between about 7:30 and 8 pm and weekday slots open around Isha and Taraweeh. Weekend afternoons before iftar are the easier choice for the month.
Most Australian schools finish between 3 pm and 3:30 pm. Weekend: Saturday and Sunday.

New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT move to daylight saving on the first Sunday in October and back on the first Sunday in April. Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory do not. Pakistan does not change its clocks, so lesson times move by an hour in the first group and stay put in the second. In Darwin, weekday lessons start at 7:30 pm all year.
Western Australia is the closest Australian time zone to Pakistan. Weekday lessons run from 6 pm, and weekend lessons from 1 pm, with no clock changes.
In eastern Australia the weekday teaching window runs on past midnight, which is no use for most families. When you request a trial, list the evening or weekend times that suit you, and Muhammad will tell you honestly which are free.
Plans are priced in US dollars: $39, $55 or $85 a month per learner. Your bank converts the payment into Australian dollars, so the figure changes slightly each month, and some cards add a foreign transaction fee.
Every lesson is live, so it helps to see when they can happen where you live. Pick your city to see the teaching hours on your own clock.
Times update for daylight saving automatically.

Muhammad AreebFounder and Quran teacher
I teach every lesson at Tarteel ul Quran myself. That is the whole idea: you learn with one teacher who knows your name, your level and the letter you found difficult last week.
“Correct one letter properly and the next hundred become easier. I would rather go slowly and get it right than rush and build habits we have to undo later.”
