What matters most

Illustration of male and female Quran teachers

Before gender, look at three things: is the teacher properly qualified, does your child feel comfortable with them, and do they keep your child reading aloud and correct mistakes as they happen. A great teacher of either gender will do more for your child than the wrong teacher of the gender you first chose.

When families usually choose a female teacher

A female teacher is often the natural choice for:

  • Girls, especially as they get older
  • Young children (boys and girls) who are shy or new to lessons
  • Sisters and mothers learning themselves — including with the camera off
  • Families who simply prefer it for their household

When families usually choose a male teacher

A male teacher is often chosen for:

  • Older boys and teenage brothers
  • Boys who respond well to a structured, firm routine
  • Adult brothers learning to read or memorise
  • Families who prefer it for their household

What does not change

Our male and female teachers teach the same courses — Noorani Qaida, Quran reading, Tajweed, Hifz and Islamic Studies. The fee is the same, classes are supervised in the same way, and you can sit in on any lesson. If a teacher of the gender you want is not free at your preferred time, we offer you a different time — never a different kind of teacher.

You can always change
