## Are there online Quran classes in Los Angeles?

Yes. Los Angeles, Orange County, the San Fernando Valley, Long Beach and the surrounding area all share Pacific time. The lesson happens at home on video, so there is no driving to attend. There is no office or local teacher in Los Angeles: your child is matched with a teacher for a free trial class on video, and carries on with that teacher once the fit is right.

## Are there online Quran classes in the San Francisco Bay Area?

Yes. San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Fremont, Santa Clara and the rest of the Bay Area are on Pacific time and book in the same way. Because every lesson is one-to-one, the slot is set for your child alone. You can cancel up to 3 hours before a class, up to 2 times a month, and it is made up on another day.

## Are there online Quran classes in San Diego, Sacramento and the Central Valley?

Yes. Every California town is on the same clock, and the lesson is on video, so where you live in the state does not change anything but the time of day.
