How online Quran lessons work
Everything you need to know before you book: the trial, the lessons themselves, scheduling and how progress is tracked.
How do online Quran classes work?
You meet your teacher on Zoom for a live 30-minute lesson. The Qaida or Mushaf is shared on screen, your teacher listens as you read and corrects each sound as it happens, and you finish with a short note on what to practise. Most learners take two to five lessons a week.

From first message to first lesson
- Request your free lesson. Tell us who is learning and when suits you. It takes about a minute.
- Agree a time. Muhammad replies within 24 hours and books a slot in your time zone.
- Meet on Zoom. A relaxed 30-minute lesson: a reading check, a real mini-lesson and honest feedback.
- Get your plan. Leave with your starting level and a recommended plan. Join only if it feels right.
Every lesson follows the same calm rhythm
Predictable structure helps children settle and helps adults make the most of limited time.
- Review. A quick check of last lesson’s work, so nothing is forgotten.
- Something new. A new letter, rule or passage, explained and modelled clearly.
- Guided recitation. You read; every sound is heard and corrected in the moment.
- Recap and practice. A short summary and a few minutes of practice for the days in between.
What a lesson looks like on screen
All you need is a laptop or tablet with a camera and a quiet place to sit.
- Teacher and learner on camera
- Qaida or Mushaf shared on screen
- Corrections shown and heard in real time

How learning one-on-one compares
| With Muhammad | Large online academies | Self-study apps | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Same teacher every lesson | Yes | Often rotates | No |
| Live correction of every letter | Yes | Yes | No |
| Taught by a university Islamic studies teacher | Yes | Varies by tutor | No |
| Lesson plan built around one learner | Yes | Partly | No |
| Progress notes for parents | Yes | Partly | Streaks and badges |
| Learn any time, no schedule | No | No | Yes |
| Typical cost | From $39/month | Similar or higher | Free to low |
Apps are a good companion for revision. For correct pronunciation, most learners need a teacher who can hear them.

Are the classes one-on-one?
Yes. Every lesson is live and one-on-one: one teacher and one learner. Siblings each have their own lessons, usually back to back, so every child gets full attention.

Is the trial lesson really free?
Yes. The first 30-minute lesson is free and you do not need a card or any payment details to book it. You only pay if you decide to continue.
Which countries do you teach in?
Any country with a stable internet connection. Times are arranged in your own time zone, whether you are in the UK, the US, Canada, Europe, Australia or the Gulf.
How will I know my child is making progress?
You get short progress notes after lessons: what was covered, what to practise and what comes next. You can message Muhammad with questions at any time.
Can I learn in the evenings or at weekends?
Yes. Evening and weekend lessons are available in most time zones. The lesson times on this site are converted to your local time automatically.
What do I need for online lessons?
A laptop or tablet with a camera and microphone, a stable internet connection and Zoom. Headphones help, especially for children. A phone works, but a bigger screen makes reading easier.
What happens if we miss a lesson?
Let Muhammad know as early as you can and the lesson can usually be moved to another time in the same week. Lessons missed without notice may not be made up.
How many lessons a week should we take?
Three lessons a week suits most learners: enough to build momentum, with time to practise in between. Two a week works for busy schedules, and five suits Hifz or faster progress.
What happens in the free lesson?
A short reading check to find your level, a real mini-lesson so you can feel the teaching style, honest feedback and a recommended plan. There is time for your questions too.
