How to Check an Online Quran Teacher Before You Enrol
What to verify before the first lesson.
Child SafetyFor families in the USA
Your child sits alone with an adult you have never met, several times a week. Here is exactly what we do about that, and what to ask any academy before you pay.
Not a recording reviewed afterwards, and not a manager who checks in occasionally. A supervisor joins the call about two minutes before the teacher and your child, and stays. All of our supervisors are women.
This is the part most academies do not publish. We surveyed five of the better-known ones while writing our comparison page and none of them states that a third person attends the lesson. Two describe reviewing lessons after the fact, which is a different thing.
Every lesson runs on one Google Meet link that never changes. You save it once. You do not need permission, an appointment, or a reason to open it.
We would rather you did. A parent who has sat in on three lessons knows more about their child's teacher than any policy document can tell them.
No teacher is given a student until their qualifications and references have been verified. This happens before anything else.
Being qualified in Quran is not the same as being able to hold a seven-year-old's attention on a video call. Teachers are trained in our method before they meet a child.
We sit in on a live demo class before the teacher starts. If it is not right, they do not start.
The supervision does not stop once a teacher is established. It is on every class, permanently.
We ask for a WhatsApp number so we can arrange the trial class. That is the only thing it is used for, and it is never passed to anybody else. Once classes start it becomes the number in your own family group, where you, the supervisor and the teacher can all reach each other.
If you want your child's teacher changed, say so in that group. You do not need to explain why, and you will not be talked out of it.
If you are weighing up several academies, these are the questions that separate them. Ask us the same ones.
A good answer is a specific one. "All our teachers are vetted" is not an answer to the fourth question, and an academy that cannot answer the first two in a sentence has not thought about them.

Every course is taught one-to-one by a qualified tutor, and every one starts with up to 3 free trial classes.
The questions parents ask us most, answered.
No. A supervisor joins every lesson, about two minutes before the teacher and your child, and stays for it. All of our supervisors are women. You are also free to sit in yourself at any time.
Yes, whenever you like, without telling us first. Every class runs on one Google Meet link that never changes, so you save it once and open it whenever you want. No teacher is warned that you are joining.
No. Classes are live and one to one, and nothing is recorded, so there is no footage of your child held anywhere.
Certificates and references are verified before a teacher is given any student. They are then trained in how we teach, and we sit in on a live demo class before they start. Supervision continues on every class after that, not just at the beginning.
Tell us in your family WhatsApp group and we will change the teacher. You do not need to give a reason and you will not be talked out of it.
Arranging your trial class is the only thing we use it for, and we never pass it on to anybody. Once classes start it is the number in your family WhatsApp group.
Your child keeps the same qualified teacher every week, at the same time. Every class is one-to-one. After each class the teacher writes a note: what was covered and what to practise.
Live, always. Every class is a live lesson on video with your child's teacher. We never send recordings in place of live lessons.
Beginners start with the Noorani Qaida. From there it is Quran recitation with Tajweed, and after that Hifz, translation or Tafseer, depending on what a family wants. Alongside the Quran your child learns Islamic Studies. Families on 5 days a week keep Friday as Islamic Day, which revises that week's Islamic Studies and adds one new lesson.
Yes, and it is checked before anyone teaches a child. Every teacher holds a qualification from a recognized Islamic institution, and several hold professional degrees as well. Nobody is given a student on an application alone. There is an interview, a document check, training, and a live demo class we sit in on. The academy page sets out each stage.
The teacher leads every class, and you can watch too. Every lesson runs on one link that never changes, and you can join any class without telling us first.
Send us your WhatsApp number on the form, or message us on WhatsApp. We ask for the times that suit you. We then place your child with a teacher who is free at that time. We reply on WhatsApp within 24 hours, and usually within hours.
Yes. Take up to 3 free trial classes first. Use them to check the teacher, the timing, and how your child responds before paying anything.
Yes. You are welcome to watch any lesson, without asking first.
There is no contract and no minimum term. Fees are monthly, and you pay for the month ahead. If you want to stop, tell us and we will stop. If you need a break instead, any unused balance carries to the next month. Before your regular classes begin, you can withdraw and get a full refund.
Through a WhatsApp group we open for your family after the trial classes. It has you and our academy team in it. Use it to move a class, ask for a different teacher, or raise anything at all. We try to settle it before the next class.
You are welcome to watch any lesson yourself, without asking first, and a supervisor is listening in on every class. No teacher is given a student until we have checked their certificates and references. We then train them in how we teach, and sit in on a live demo class before they start.
