After school and weekend mornings
In the UK, most children finish school between about 3pm and 3:30pm. Families often choose a short lesson between 4pm and 7pm on two to five weekdays, or weekend mornings, so Quran learning fits around homework, clubs and madrasah.
GMT and British Summer Time
The UK moves its clocks forward on the last Sunday of March and back on the last Sunday of October. Lessons are booked in UK time, so your child's lesson stays at the same time on your clock all year.
Alongside evening madrasah
Many British Muslim children attend an evening or weekend madrasah. One-to-one lessons can work alongside it, giving extra individual reading or memorisation practice with a teacher who listens to your child alone. Other families choose online lessons because there is no suitable madrasah nearby or the timings clash with school activities.

Quran Reading
Noorani Qaida with Tajweed, Lesson 1: The Single Letters (Mufradat), Part A
The first video in our Noorani Qaida series. It introduces the single Arabic letters (Mufradat) one at a time, the very first step towards reading the Quran, and gives parents and beginners a clear feel for how our teachers explain each stage before you book a free trial. Parents can watch it with their child to see what the very first stage of reading looks like and how letters are introduced one by one. In live lessons the same first stage is taught one-to-one, with the teacher listening to the learner and correcting pronunciation straight away, so mistakes do not become habits. When the single letters are secure, learners move on to joined letters, vowel marks and, in time, fluent Quran reading.
