Hiring a Quran teacher in London usually means one of three things: a crowded evening madrasah, a home tutor who is hard to book, or a stranger from a tutor website. We offer a fourth option: a certified Quran teacher, chosen and supported by a registered UK academy, who teaches your child or you one-to-one, online, at a time that suits your week.
A good Quran teacher is more than someone who can read well. Before a teacher is given London students, we look at four things:
Because lessons are one-to-one, your teacher quickly gets to know the student's level, habits and goals, and plans each lesson around them.
Arabic letters, joining and vowels with Noorani Qaida, until the student reads the Quran on their own.
Makharij, noon and meem sakinah, madd and stopping, corrected live ayah by ayah. See the Tajweed course.
New lessons plus daily revision, from Juz Amma to full memorisation, and guidance towards an Ijazah.
Many London families have a clear preference, and you can choose. Sisters and girls can learn with a female Quran teacher, which many find more comfortable for recitation and for questions about worship. Boys and brothers often study with a male Quran teacher, especially for Hifz.
If you are booking for a son and a daughter, tell us and we will match each child with the teacher who suits them.
Ask for a female or male teacherWhen we checked in November 2026, private Quran tutors on UK tutor websites typically advertised around £9 to £15 an hour, plus travel for home visits. Here is how the main options compare:
| What matters | Our online Quran teacher | Home tutor from a website | Evening madrasah |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | From £30/month (about £2.15–£2.50 per 30-minute lesson) | Hourly rate plus travel | Usually a monthly fee |
| Who checks the teacher | Our academy, before they teach | You do | The mosque or madrasah |
| Attention | One-to-one, every lesson | One-to-one | Shared with a group |
| Female teacher | Available on request | Depends who you find | Depends on the madrasah |
| Progress updates | Monthly progress reports, parents can sit in | Agree it with the tutor | Varies by madrasah |
| Travel | None | Tutor travels to you | You travel each way |
Prices on fee plans are explained on our fee page. If you would rather learn in a group with your local community, a London madrasah is a good choice, and many families use both.
Whoever you choose, in London or online, these questions help you judge a Quran teacher quickly:
Our free trial class is the easiest way to ask these questions and hear the answers for yourself.
Who is learning, their level, a male or female teacher, and the times that suit you on UK time.

Three, four or five 30-minute lessons a week, from £30 a month.
Our teachers work with students from Tower Hamlets and Newham to Brent, Harrow, Southall and Croydon. Families in busy households often book siblings back-to-back after school, while adults in the City pick a 6am or late-evening slot.
