Where should my child start?Four quick questions. Nothing is saved.
Answer the four questions to see a suggested starting point.
What your child learns, in order
Online Quran learning for kids follows a clear order. A child who is new to Arabic starts at step 1. A child who already reads joins further along. After Noorani Qaida, you choose whether the next focus is reading, Tajweed or Hifz.
- 1Arabic lettersRecognising each letter and the sound it makes.
- 2Short vowels and Noorani QaidaReading letters with fatha, kasra and damma, the base of fluent reading.
- 3Joining letters and wordsLetters change shape when they join. Your child reads real Arabic words.
- 4Reading the Quran (Nazra)Reading verses with a teacher who corrects each mistake as it happens.
- 5Tajweed rulesPronunciation and the rules that make recitation correct.
- 6Short surahs and duasAl-Fatiha, Al-Ikhlas and other short surahs, recited from memory.
- 7Hifz (optional)A routine for memorising more of the Quran, with revision built in.
How long each step takes depends on your child’s age, how many lessons they have a week and how much they practise. We do not promise a fixed timeline.
A Quran learning guide by age
Every child is different, so these ages are a guide. Tell us your child’s age and the teacher decides the starting point in the free trial.
Younger children
about 5 to 7- Letters and sounds first. Reading comes once the sounds are secure.
- A parent nearby helps with the device and with practice between lessons.
- Noorani Qaida is the usual starting point.
Middle years
about 8 to 11- Steady reading from Noorani Qaida into the Quran.
- Basic Tajweed rules and short surahs.
- Homework fits around school without becoming a battle.
Older children
about 12 to 14- Fluent reading and clear Tajweed.
- A realistic Hifz routine alongside school and exams.
- More independence: the child leads their own practice.
Learning together? Parents can join too: see Quran classes for adults. Girls and sisters can choose a female teacher: see Quran for sisters.
What a one-to-one Quran lesson for your child looks like
Every kids lesson has a small, predictable shape, so your child always knows what comes next.
- 1Revise
The teacher checks what was learned last time, so nothing is lost.
- 2Learn something new
A small new piece: a letter, a rule, a line of a surah.
- 3Practise aloud
Your child reads, and the teacher corrects pronunciation straight away.
- 4Wrap up
A short recap, then a little practice to do before the next lesson.

How you see your child’s progress

What your child needs at home
- A phone, tablet or computer with a camera
- Headphones for younger children, if the room is noisy
- A quiet place with a good internet connection
- A Quran or Noorani Qaida book, if you have one
- Ten minutes of practice a day. Little and often works best

Online Quran classes for kids: your questions
What are the best online Quran classes for kids?
The best class is the one that suits your child’s age and attention span. Look for live one-to-one lessons, a teacher who corrects pronunciation as your child reads, a choice of a female or male teacher, regular progress reports and a free trial. A trial lesson is the quickest way to see if a teacher is a good fit.
At what age can my child start learning the Quran?
A child can start from age 4. At 4 or 5 the lessons are short and gentle, and a parent sits beside the child. Readiness varies, so tell us your child’s age in the free trial form and the teacher will decide the right starting point.
My child has never read Arabic. Where do we start?
With the Arabic letters and Noorani Qaida. The teacher builds the letters, short vowels and joining sounds step by step, and only then moves to reading verses from the Quran.
What is Noorani Qaida?
Noorani Qaida is a foundation course that teaches the Arabic letters, vowel signs and how letters join, so a child can read the Quran correctly. It is the usual starting point for beginners.
How long will it take my child to read the Quran?
It depends on your child’s age, how often they have lessons and how much they practise between lessons. We do not promise a fixed timeline. After the free trial your teacher can give you an honest view of the steps ahead.
How much do online Quran classes for kids cost in the UK?
Ayat Way lessons are £3 to £9 for each 45-minute one-to-one lesson. Most children start on Standard lessons at £3 to £5, so two lessons a week for four weeks is £24 to £40 a month. Weekend lessons cost 50p more per lesson. The calculator on this page works it out for any plan and any day.
How much does Noorani Qaida cost for kids?
Noorani Qaida is part of our Standard lessons, so it costs £3 to £5 for each 45-minute one-to-one lesson (50p more at the weekend). There is no extra fee for starting with Qaida.
Do weekend lessons cost more?
Yes, a little. Weekend lessons on Saturday and Sunday cost 50p more per lesson than weekday lessons. Pick Weekend in the calculator on this page to see the monthly cost.
Does a parent need to sit in on the lesson?
Parents are welcome to sit in. For children aged 4 or 5 we ask a parent to sit beside the child, because a child this young can get restless and needs a familiar adult close by. Older children can usually manage on their own, with a parent in the house.
Are online Quran lessons recorded?
No, we do not record lessons. A student may record a lesson only if they tell the teacher first.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. If you are not happy, we refund you. Your first trial lesson is free, so you can meet the teacher before you pay anything.
Is there a sibling discount?
Yes, there can be. If two or three brothers or sisters learn together, we can offer a discount. Tell us in the trial form and we will confirm the price for your family.
Can children with autism or ADHD learn with you?
Please tell us about your child’s needs in the trial form or in the free trial, so we can be honest with you about whether we are the right fit. We are not specialist therapists, and we do not promise special-needs programmes. The trial lesson lets you see how your child gets on before you pay.
Are there free online Quran classes for kids?
Ongoing lessons with a teacher are not free, but your first trial lesson is. If the first teacher is not the right fit you can meet a second teacher, also free, and you only pay when you are happy to continue.
What happens in the free trial lesson?
You meet a teacher live on Zoom or Google Meet. Your child reads a little, the teacher suggests a starting point, and you choose a course and a weekly time. Nothing is charged for the trial.
Can my child have a female teacher?
Yes. Choose a female teacher in the trial form. You can also ask for a male teacher or choose no preference.
Are there Quran classes for kids near me?
Our lessons are online, so there is nothing to travel to. Your child learns from home with a live teacher wherever you are in the UK, including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bradford and Glasgow.
What do we need for an online Quran lesson?
A phone, tablet or computer with a camera and internet, and a quiet place to sit. Lessons run on Zoom or Google Meet. Headphones help younger children focus.
How will I know my child is making progress?
You receive a progress report every month. Your child’s teacher is also the best person to ask about the next step.
Can lessons fit around school?
Yes. Lessons are one-to-one, so you choose a regular weekly time around school, homework and family time. Lessons run on UK time.
Is online Quran learning as good as going to the mosque?
They offer different things. Online one-to-one gives your child the teacher’s full attention and live corrections at home. A mosque offers community and a shared space. Many families use both.
