Online Quran Tutor and Teacher, One-to-One

A private Quran tutor at Murouj Academy is a native Arab teacher and teaches you live, one-to-one, with a plan built for you. Murouj matches you with a suitable tutor for the free trial class, and switches you to another if the fit is not right. Women are taught by women, men by men.

Private Quran tutoring at a glance

• One-to-one only: every class is private. We never run group classes.
• Matched for you: a suitable tutor for the free trial, and another if the fit is not right. Read our teacher profiles.
• Native Arabic: every tutor is a native Arabic speaker, and most speak English. Some hold an ijazah; each profile states which.
• Lessons: 30, 45 or 60 minutes, 2 to 5 times a week, at hours that suit your time zone, with a personalised curriculum.
• Free trial: a real lesson with your matched tutor, with no obligation to buy a package.

Online Quran tutor, teacher or tuition?

An online Quran tutor, an online Quran teacher or, in the UK, online Quran tuition: at Murouj Academy they all mean a qualified native Arab teacher who teaches you live, one-to-one, on video. It is not a recorded course, an app or a group class. See all of our online Quran teachers, or Quran tuition for UK families.

One-to-one only: what changes

All of the lesson time is yours. Your tutor hears every ayah you recite, corrects it as you go, and moves faster or slower as you need. There is no group to keep pace with and no one else listening.

How your tutor is matched

1. Read about our tutors on the teachers page: studies, ijazah as stated, subjects and languages.
2. Take the free trial with the tutor Murouj matches to you, a real lesson, before you commit.
3. Continue when the fit is right. If not, Murouj switches you to another tutor, and this can repeat.

What every tutor has

• Native Arabic. Pronunciation, makharij and the language are taught by native speakers.
• Checked skills. Every tutor qualifies after an ijazah and recitation check, a Tajweed knowledge check, a teaching skills check, an English fluency check and a mock lesson, and most speak English as well as Arabic. Only the top 4% of applicants qualify.
• An ijazah, often. An ijazah is strongly encouraged, though not required. It is a formal, chain-based authorisation to teach the Quran and certify others, which a friend who knows the Quran does not hold. Some tutors hold one, and each profile states it. See in our guide to the types of ijazah.

Many of our tutors studied at or are certified by Al-Azhar. Each tutor's profile states their own studies.

Women with women, men with men

• Women and girls are always taught by female tutors: see our female Quran teachers and privacy and Islamic etiquette in lessons.
• Adult men are taught by male tutors; see Quran classes for adults.
• Children: Murouj matches the tutor, and most children learn with women: see online Quran classes for kids.

Your personalised curriculum

In the free trial your tutor checks your level and suggests a plan from our courses: Quran memorization, the intensive hifz program, Tajweed, recitation correction, Qaida classes for beginners, Standard Arabic Islamic studies for kids and for teens, Arabic for kids and basic tafsir.

Lesson lengths and class plans

Choose 2 to 5 classes a week of 30, 45 or 60 minutes, with the number of lessons a week agreed when you book and a free trial class first. Contact us for fees on WhatsApp; see our class plans page.

The classroom

Lessons are live on Zoom, Google Meet or Halqora, Murouj's own classroom software. In Halqora, your tutor selects an ayah or a word on a Madinah Mushaf page and it lights up on your screen. A shared whiteboard is used for letters and rules.

Our tutors compared with other options

• A freelance tutor: also one-to-one, but you search and vet the tutor's Arabic and ijazah yourself.
• A group class: the lesson is shared, with the teacher usually assigned with the class.
