The 10-point checklist

Illustration of a supervised online class with a parent watching

Ask every academy these questions. A good academy will answer all of them clearly, in writing, before you pay.

  • 1. Can you see the real teachers — names, photos and qualifications?
  • 2. Are classes one-to-one, or is your child in a group?
  • 3. Can you choose a male or female teacher, and does it cost more?
  • 4. Is there a genuinely free trial, with no card required?
  • 5. Are the fees published, or only given after you hand over your number?
  • 6. Is there a contract or a minimum term?
  • 7. Can you watch any lesson, and is someone checking teaching quality?
  • 8. Can you change teacher easily if it is not working?
  • 9. Do you get regular feedback on your child's progress?
  • 10. Are there real, checkable reviews on an independent site?

Red flags to watch for

Think twice if you see any of these:

  • No teacher names or photos, only stock images
  • Prices hidden until you give your phone number
  • A card required for the “free” trial
  • Pressure to pay for several months up front
  • Promises that your child will finish the Quran by a fixed date before anyone has heard them read
  • Reviews only on the academy's own website

The trial is the real test

Whatever any website says, the free classes show you the truth: whether the teacher listens, corrects mistakes, keeps your child reading and is someone your child likes. Try us alongside anyone else you are considering — 3 free classes, no card.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is a free trial enough to judge an academy?

It is the best single test. Three classes is usually enough to see how the teacher corrects mistakes and whether your child engages.

Should I pay for several months to get a discount?

Be careful. A monthly plan with no contract lets you leave if it does not work. We charge monthly, with no minimum term.

How much should online Quran classes cost?

Prices vary widely. Compare the cost per one-to-one class, not just the monthly total. Ours start at $30 a month for 4 classes (about $7.50 a class), or $39 for 8 (about $4.88 a class).

What do your classes cost?

Plans start at $30 a month (£24, €28) for 4 one-to-one classes, with no registration fee and all materials included. Siblings get a 10% family discount from the second child, and the first 3 classes are free.
