When lessons happen in the UK

From late October to late March, weekday lessons run from 10 am to 6 pm UK time. From late March to late October, when the UK is on British Summer Time, they run from 11 am to 7 pm. A child who finishes school at 3:15 can come home, have a snack and a short rest, and still start a 30-minute lesson at 4:30 or 5 pm.

In December, Maghrib in London is just before 4 pm, so a winter after-school lesson comes after Maghrib and before dinner. In June and July, Maghrib is after 9 pm and lessons end by 7, so the lesson never runs into it. Lessons in the morning or early afternoon suit adults who work shifts, parents at home with younger children and anyone on a day off.

At the weekend, lessons run from 5 am to 5 pm in winter and from 6 am to 6 pm in summer. A Saturday morning lesson after breakfast is easy to keep, and leaves the afternoon free. In the coming years Ramadan falls in winter, when iftar in London is between about 4:30 and 6 pm. An afternoon lesson that ends before iftar works, or you can move to a weekend morning for the month.

Most UK primary and secondary schools finish between 3 pm and 3:30 pm. Weekend: Saturday and Sunday.

Good to know for families in the UK

  • Clocks change twice a year

    UK clocks go forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October. Pakistan does not change its clocks, so the teaching window moves by one hour on UK clocks. Whether your lesson can stay at the same UK time depends on the slot, so check with Muhammad in the week your clocks change.

  • Alongside the evening madrasa

    Many children in the UK go to a madrasa at the local masjid after school. If yours does, a weekend lesson can sit alongside it without crowding the school week. A one-on-one lesson gives time to hear your child read alone and correct each letter.

  • Exams and half-terms

    Around GCSE and A-level exams in May and June, older students often need a lighter week, and half-term trips can break the routine. You can move lessons to the weekend, drop to two lessons a week or pause, as long as you change your plan before your next billing date.

  • Paying from a UK account

    Plans are priced in US dollars: $39, $55 or $85 a month per learner. Your bank converts the amount into pounds, so the sterling figure changes slightly from month to month, and some cards add a foreign transaction fee.

Muhammad Areeb

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.”

Questions from families in the UK

Still unsure? Send us a message. Replies 7 days a week.

What time are lessons in UK time?

In winter, Monday to Friday 10 am to 6 pm and Saturday and Sunday 5 am to 5 pm. In British Summer Time, Monday to Friday 11 am to 7 pm and weekends 6 am to 6 pm.

Can my child have Quran lessons after school in the UK?

Yes. Weekday lessons run until 6 pm in winter and 7 pm in summer, so a slot between about 4 and 5:30 pm usually works after a 3 or 3:30 pm finish.

Do you have a centre or teachers in the UK?

No. Lessons are online only, so there is no UK centre and no local tutor. Every lesson is live on Zoom with Muhammad Areeb, wherever you live in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.

Can I pay in pounds?

Prices are in US dollars and billed monthly per learner. Your bank converts the payment into pounds. Payment details are shared after the free lesson if you decide to continue.

Can lessons be in Urdu for my parents or grandparents?

Yes. Lessons are taught in English, Urdu and Arabic, so an older family member who is more comfortable in Urdu can learn in Urdu.
