For parents

Safe Online Quran Learning for Children

What parents can expect from a lesson with us, and the questions to ask any online Quran academy before you book.

What is safeguarding?

Safeguarding means the steps an organisation takes to keep children safe from harm while they are in its care. For an online Quran academy that means who is in the lesson, how the lesson is run, what a parent can see, and what happens if someone is worried.

This page explains how our lessons are set up and gives you questions to ask any academy, so you can judge for yourself.

How our lessons are set up

Seven things a parent can see for themselves.

One learner, one teacherLessons are live and one-to-one, so you can see exactly who is teaching your child.

Zoom or Google MeetLessons run on Zoom or Google Meet. Nothing to install beyond those apps.

A teacher of your choiceAsk for a female teacher when you book, or choose a male teacher. Most of our teachers are female.

See it before you commitThe first lesson is a free trial. If the teacher is not the right fit, meet a second one, also free.

Parents welcomeParents can sit in. For children aged 4 or 5, a parent sits beside the child.

Safe online Quran lessons: your questions

Are online Quran lessons for children safe?

They can be, when lessons are live and one-to-one, run on a platform you recognise and a parent is close by. Ask any academy the questions listed on this page before you book, including us.

Can I choose a female teacher for my child?

Yes. Choose a female teacher in the trial form. You can also ask for a male teacher or choose no preference.

Can a parent stay near during the lesson?

Yes. Parents are welcome to sit in. For children aged 4 or 5 we ask a parent to sit beside the child.

Are lessons recorded?

No, we do not record lessons. A student may record only after telling the teacher first.

Who do I contact with a concern about a lesson?

Use the contact details on our contact page. Tell us what happened and which lesson it was.
