How we choose your child's teacher
Your child will learn with the same person every week, so we are careful about who that is. Every teacher goes through the same steps before teaching a single class.
Prefer a male or a female teacher? Tell us when you book.

Every teacher
Five steps before anyone teaches
A recitation check
They recite for an experienced Quran teacher, who checks their tajweed, their fluency and how well they know the Mushaf your family uses.
A trial lesson
They teach a sample class so we can see their patience with young children and how clearly they explain in English.
A background check
They pass a background check before meeting any student.
Our rules, signed
They agree in writing to our safety rules: classes only through our link, no private contact with children, no recording.
Watched over
After they start, parents read a note from every class and our office looks in on classes now and then.
One teacher who knows your family
Brothers and sisters usually share a teacher, each at their own level and in their own classes. Over the weeks that teacher learns how each child reads, what they find hard and what makes them want to keep going.
If it ever isn't the right match, tell us and we will find your family another teacher.
What our teachers teach
Beginners start with the Noorani Qaida, letter by letter. From there children move on to reading the Mushaf, then tajweed, and some go on to memorise. Teachers work from the Mushaf your family reads at home, Madani or IndoPak.
Questions
Questions about our teachers
Can we see how the teacher teaches before paying?
Yes. Your free first week is with the teacher who will keep teaching your child, so you see their teaching from the very first class.
What times do the teachers teach?
Wherever a teacher lives, every class is booked in Eastern Time: after school or in the evening, Monday to Friday.
Do teachers speak English?
Yes. Explaining clearly in English to children growing up in America is one of the things we test before anyone teaches.
Can we change teachers?
Yes. Tell us what isn't working and we will match your family with someone else.
