Live Quran Lessons offers one-to-one online Quran classes for children in Birmingham, with experienced male and female teachers. Whether your child is a beginner or already reading, lessons are set to their ability and pace: Noorani Qaida, Quran Reading with Tajweed, Hifz, Quran Translation and Islamic Studies.
Classes are scheduled around Birmingham school hours, weekday or weekend, with individual attention, regular homework and feedback. Children from Small Heath, Sparkhill, Alum Rock and Handsworth join live lessons on Google Meet, without travelling to a madrasa. Start with up to 3 free trial classes and meet your child's teacher first.

Same teacher • Individual attention • Better pronunciation • Brighter future

Six courses, and your child can take one or move through them in order. The teacher finds where they actually are in the first class and starts there, whether that is the very first letter or a Juz they are halfway through.
Select the option that best describes your child's current level.
Calm, one to one, and nothing hidden. This is what the half hour looks like, what reaches you afterwards, and how the first class is booked.
Your child learns one to one with the same teacher every week, on a Google Meet link that never changes. A supervisor from the academy is on every class, and all of our supervisors are women. You can join any class yourself, without telling us first.
Not a vague “doing fine” once a month. A note follows every class: which lesson your child is on, how it went, and the five minutes of practice that would help before the next one.
Send one message and we answer with the hours that are free. After the trial classes you have a family group with your child’ supervisor, the coordinator and the academy manager in it, and everything is settled there from then on.
Birmingham has many good madrasas, and for some families they are the right answer. Here is the comparison laid out plainly, so you can decide what works for your own child.

No registration fee, no minimum term, and nothing is taken during the free trial classes. A second child is 10% lower than the first, and that is what the family columns show.
Birmingham parents have more choice locally than almost anywhere in Britain, so it is worth reading how to judge an academy before you judge ours.

Noorani Qaida takes most children 4 to 8 months at 3 or 4 lessons a week, and they are reading Quranic words by the end of it. Fluent reading with Tajweed takes longer and depends on practice between lessons.
Yes. Tajweed is corrected by ear, and on a 1-to-1 call the teacher hears every letter rather than one voice in twenty. Your child reads from the Mushaf you already have, and the teacher marks what to repeat.
Yes, and Hifz is what Birmingham families ask us for most. We ask that a child reads reasonably fluently first, which usually means Qaida and some Tajweed. Lessons are 45 minutes or an hour, daily if you can manage it.
Join any class unannounced on the same Meet link, every lesson is 1-to-1, and nothing is recorded. No teacher is given a student before their certificates and references are checked. The child safety page has the detail.
Yes, and Birmingham has good ones. What is different here is that there is no journey and no group: your child is heard on their own, at a time you picked. Many families keep the local madrasa and add a midweek lesson.
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.
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.
