Online Quran, Arabic & Islamic Courses

Abobakr Academy offers live, one-to-one online classes taught by certified native Arabic-speaking tutors, including Al-Azhar trained teachers. Most families come for one of four things: our Quran course list, to read and recite correctly; the Tajweed course, to polish recitation; our Arabic programme, for Modern Standard or Quranic Arabic; or Aqeedah, Fiqh and Seerah in Islamic Studies. We also teach school subjects, including maths, physics and chemistry, to the same families. Every course starts with a free trial class.

Live Classes, One to One or in a Small Group

Every class here is taught live, one to one or in a small group. Our tutors are native Arabic speakers, including Al-Azhar trained teachers, and lessons are booked at times that suit you, in your own time zone. Start with a free trial lesson. We don’t ask for payment details to book it.

Our Core Programs

Quran and Tajweed

  • Quran classes take a student from the first letter through to fluent recitation, with certified Qaris. Most people start here.
  • Tajweed is taught out loud, with a teacher correcting your pronunciation as you go. It doesn’t really work any other way.
  • Noorani Qaida covers the letters, their sounds, and how they join. It’s the foundation at any age, for a child sounding out the alphabet or a grandparent starting fresh.
  • Hifz pairs memorisation with a revision schedule built to survive school terms and working weeks.

Arabic

  • Arabic classes run two ways: Modern Standard Arabic if you want to speak it, Quranic Arabic if you want to understand what you’re reciting. Plenty of students do both.

Islamic Studies

  • Islamic Studies covers Aqeedah, Fiqh, Seerah, Hadith and Islamic history, pitched at whatever level the student is genuinely at rather than where a syllabus says they should be.
  • Free Islamic classes are the way most families try Islamic Studies first, and that page is honest about where the free part stops.

Who These Classes Are For

  • Children: short lessons, patient teachers, and a pace set by how long a child can concentrate.
  • Adults: nobody here will make you feel behind for starting late.
  • Complete beginners: never read a word of Arabic? That’s the normal starting point.

School Subjects, Languages and Skills

The same live, one-to-one format covers school and skills subjects. There is more detail on maths, physics and chemistry here, and the full list is:

  • School subjects. Maths, physics, chemistry, biology, science, English and social studies.
  • Languages. English, German, Italian and Spanish, beginner through advanced.
  • Digital skills. ICDL certification, Microsoft Office, and the fundamentals of Python and JavaScript.
  • Creative. Art workshops, Arabic calligraphy and traditional handcrafts.

Mention whichever one interests you when you book the trial class and we’ll match you with the right tutor.

How to start

  1. Send us a message with the subject and the student’s age.
  2. We suggest a tutor and a lesson time in your time zone.
  3. The first lesson is a free trial, and you decide after it.

What It Costs

There isn’t one price, because there isn’t one course. What you pay depends on the subject, how long each lesson runs, and how many lessons you take a week. A child doing two short Qaida lessons and an adult working through intensive Tajweed aren’t the same thing, and we don’t pretend they cost the same.

Two things worth knowing before you ask: families with more than one child learning Quran, Arabic or Islamic Studies take 10% off, and the more hours you book in a month, the lower the hourly rate. Full figures are on our pricing page.

The quickest way to get an actual number is to take the free trial class. The tutor works out the right level and pace first, and we quote from there. No payment details are needed to book it.

Trial lessons, discounts and rescheduling

  • Do you offer trial lessons?
    Yes. Every course starts with a free 20-minute trial class, with no payment details required. You will meet your tutor, discuss your goals, and get a quick level assessment so we can suggest where to start, whether that turns out to be Quran recitation, Tajweed, Arabic, Islamic Studies or a school subject.
  • Are there discounts for families?
    Yes. On Quran, Arabic and Islamic Studies, a second child takes 10% off and the hourly rate drops as you book more hours in a month. On school subjects and the other courses there are discounts too, but you have to ask for them. Message us on WhatsApp and we will work out a plan.
  • What platform do you use for online classes?
    Lessons are live video sessions on Zoom or Google Meet, one to one, or in a small group if you ask. Your tutor shares the screen with the Qaida or Mushaf, corrects your recitation in real time, and sends notes and homework after each class. All you need is a phone, tablet, or computer with an internet connection.
  • Can I switch course schedules?
    Yes. You can reschedule any live session up to two hours in advance at no extra cost. Our tutors teach across US, UK, Canadian, and Australian time zones, 7 days a week from morning to late evening, so a new slot is rarely hard to find.
