Online Quran Translation Classes
Learn Quran with translation at Live Quran Lessons: 1-to-1 classes, live on video, for a child who already recites the Quran in Arabic. The teacher gives the meaning in English or Urdu, in 30-minute lessons.
Quran translation classes are for a child who already recites the Quran in Arabic and is ready to understand what the Arabic words mean. A child still working on the individual letters, or on pronouncing them correctly, is not ready for translation yet. The academy has taught children online since 2019, and the families we teach live mainly in the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia and Europe.
Translation sits late on our course path. A beginner starts on the Noorani Qaida, moves on to Quran recitation with Tajweed, and only then takes up translation. Tell us on WhatsApp how far your child's recitation has reached, and we place them with a teacher at exactly that level.
The translation course at a glance.
To learn Quran with translation is to learn the meaning of the Quranic Arabic your child already recites. It is taught in English or in Urdu, whichever your child follows more easily. Your child recites the verse from the Quran on the teacher's shared screen, and the teacher then gives the translation. The recitation is not dropped to make room for the translation. It is added on top, so recitation and meaning are heard together in every class.
Tafseer, the explanation of the verses and their background, is a separate course. A child who knows what a verse says is reciting something they understand, not a memorized sound copied from the teacher. That understanding is the whole aim of the translation course.

Every translation class puts your child alone with one teacher on a live video call. There is no group, and no recording is played in place of a live lesson.

Yes. Translation is one of the courses we also teach in 45-minute and 1-hour sessions, alongside the standard 30 minutes. You choose one length, and every class runs at that length.
Our standard class length, and the length of every trial class.
Open to any child on the translation course. Ask for it when you book.
The longest class we run. Ask us on WhatsApp for the fee of a 45-minute or 1-hour class.
Say the length you want when you book, and every class is set up that way. Because the class is 1-to-1, the pace follows your child's recitation rather than a calendar.
The translation classes are taught by a qualified teacher who stays with your child from the beginning of the course to the end. Every teacher holds a qualification from a recognized Islamic institution. The academy has both male and female teachers.
Arabic is not our teachers' first language. They are trained in Quranic Arabic, which is exactly what your child recites in class. The translation itself is given in your child's own language. Nobody replaces your child's teacher without asking you first.
You know from the note the teacher writes after every class, and you are welcome to sit in on any translation lesson whenever you like. The note reaches you in your family WhatsApp group, which we open once the trial classes are agreed. It is written in plain English and holds 3 things.
The same group is where you ask for anything to change, and we try to settle it before the next class. This is what you can ask for.
If a move was not asked for in time, the teacher waits about 5 minutes for your child, then logs out.
Put your WhatsApp number and your country in the form, and we message you back on WhatsApp. We promise a reply within 24 hours, and hours is the norm. Before the first translation class we ask a few things about your child.
A trial can begin within an hour or two of your reply, and a trial the same evening is normal. You get up to 3 free classes, with no credit card and no registration fee. We use your number to set up the trial and for nothing else. If you would rather not go on afterwards, nothing was signed, so there is nothing to cancel.
Up to 3 free classes, 1-to-1 with a qualified teacher, and no credit card required to sign up.

The questions parents ask us most, answered.
Translation is what the Arabic words mean. Tafseer is what the verse means. Both are taught so your child knows what they are reciting.
English or Urdu, whichever your child follows more easily. Tell us and we arrange it.
Reading comes first. Understanding is added on top of the recitation, not instead of it.
If the teacher or the academy cancels, or the class is disturbed from the teacher's side, you get a make-up class. If your child logs in late without telling us, and the teacher waited, that class is not made up. Public holidays and Eid are included in the monthly fee and are not made up either.
By card through Stripe, debit or credit, Visa or Mastercard, or by bank transfer through Wise. If neither works where you live, email us and we arrange another way.
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.
A supervisor. She joins the link about 2 minutes before the teacher and your child, checks that both are online, and listens in as the lesson runs. She is not there to teach: she is there to make sure the class is a good one. If the sound fails, or the teacher is not listening closely enough to your child, she steps in. Every class is supervised, and all our supervisors are female.
Send us your WhatsApp number on the form, or message us on WhatsApp. We ask for your child's age and the times that suit you. A supervisor places your child with a teacher in a slot at that time, in your time zone. 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 4 people in it: you, your child's supervisor, the coordinator and the academy manager. 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.
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.
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.
