Quran Tafseer Classes Online

The explanation of the Quran: what a verse means, when it was revealed, and what it asks of the reader today. Translation gives you the Arabic words. Tafseer gives you the understanding behind them.

Translation is word for word, the vocabulary and the plain meaning. Tafseer goes further, into the context and the lesson behind every verse. Most students do the translation first, though it is not a rule.

Usually around nine or ten, once the recitation is fluent and a child can sit with an idea for a while. Younger children get more out of translation.

No. Your child recites the Arabic and a qualified teacher explains it in English or Urdu, whichever a family prefers. Knowing some Arabic already makes it go faster.

Yes. It is a one-to-one class, so the depth and the pace change with every student.

Your child keeps the same qualified teacher every week, at the same time, which is usually what makes progress stick. Every class is one-to-one with that teacher. After each one you get a written note: what was covered, and what to practise.

Live, always. Every class is a live lesson with a teacher on Google Meet, at a set time. We never send recordings in place of live lessons.

A recitation class is 30 minutes: 20 minutes of recitation and 10 minutes of Islamic Studies. Families who choose five days a week follow that pattern from Monday to Thursday. Friday is Islamic Day: it revises the Islamic Studies covered that week and adds a new lesson. Beginners start with the Arabic letters and their pronunciation through the Noorani Qaida, then move on to Quran recitation with Tajweed.

Yes, and we check it before anyone teaches a child. Every teacher holds a qualification from a recognised Islamic institution. A number of them also hold professional degrees outside it: we have MBBS doctors and clinical psychologists teaching with us. Nobody starts on the strength of an application. Our HR department interviews, checks the documents, trains the teacher, and watches them take a live demo class before they are given a student.

A supervisor. She joins the link before the teacher and your child, checks that both are online, and stays for the whole lesson. If the recitation needs correcting she says so during the class rather than afterwards. Every class is supervised, and all our supervisors are women. You are welcome to sit in yourself as well, on any lesson, without telling us first.

3 steps. Fill in the form, or message us on WhatsApp, with your child's name, age and the times that suit you. We check which qualified teachers are available at those times, in your timezone. We come back with the day, the time and the link to join. Some families are in their first class within the hour.

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, and we would rather you did. You are welcome to watch any lesson. After every class the teacher also writes down what was covered and what to practise, so you are not left guessing between lessons.

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, we can hold the place and carry any unused balance to the next month. Before your regular classes begin, you can withdraw and get a full refund.

Live Quran Lessons charges monthly, and the price follows how many days a week your child attends. 2 days a week is $39, 3 days $49, 4 days $59, and 5 days $65. Every lesson is 30 minutes, 1-to-1 with the teacher. Hifz lessons run longer and are priced on their own. Up to 3 classes are free, and no credit card is required during signup. The fee is per child. Prices here are in US dollars. We also charge in pounds, Canadian dollars and Australian dollars.
