WHERE WE TEACH

Online Quran Classes in Europe

Central European time is one hour behind our tutors. That makes Europe the easiest region in the world to schedule — effectively any hour you would want a class is a normal working hour for the person teaching it.

One thing to establish before anything else: we teach in English, with Arabic and Urdu available. We do not teach in French, German, Dutch or Swedish. If English is comfortable in your household, everything below applies. If it is not — particularly for a young child — we would rather you knew now than after a trial.

Which class times actually work in Europe

Times below are Central European. Ireland, Portugal and the UK are an hour behind CET; Finland, Greece and the Baltics an hour ahead.

Your local timeYour tutor’s timeWho it suits
7:00 – 9:00 am CET8:00 – 10:00 amBefore work or school. Wide availability.
3:00 – 6:00 pm CET4:00 – 7:00 pmAfter school — our most-booked European window.
7:00 – 10:00 pm CET8:00 – 11:00 pmAdults after dinner. Good availability right up to late evening.
WeekendsSame, plus one hourOpen across the day. The easiest slots in our whole schedule to fill.

Europe and Egypt both observe daylight saving but change on different dates, so for a week or two in spring and autumn the gap is two hours rather than one. Neither is a problem at these hours.

For your own city rather than the country average, the class time converter works it out from your device’s clock, daylight saving included.

Where this works well in Europe, and where it does not

Europe's Muslim population is large — France and Germany each have more Muslims than the United Kingdom — but it is not one audience, and English does not reach all of it.

Where we fit well: Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark and Norway, where English is widely spoken and often the second language of the household; international and expatriate families anywhere on the continent; and second- or third-generation adults who are more comfortable studying in English than in their parents' language.

Where we fit badly, and will say so: a six-year-old in Lyon or Duisburg whose entire world runs in French or German. A tutor correcting their recitation in English adds a difficulty the lesson does not need. That child is better served by a local teacher or by an academy that teaches in their language, and we would rather lose the booking than take it.

The female-tutor problem is sharper here

In smaller and more dispersed European Muslim communities — Ireland, the Nordics, much of Austria and eastern Germany — finding a qualified female Quran teacher locally is often simply not possible. There may be one in the city, fully booked, or none at all.

This is the request we receive most often from European families, and it is the one online study answers most completely. A verified female tutor is available at the same price as any other, in a slot that suits a European evening.

Students we teach in Europe: Dublin · Amsterdam · Rotterdam · Berlin · Hamburg · Stockholm · Malmö · Brussels · Copenhagen · Vienna — and anywhere else with a stable connection.

What it costs in Europe

Common questions from Europe

Do you teach in French, German or Dutch?
No. Our tutors teach in English, Arabic and Urdu. For adults and teenagers comfortable in English this is rarely an issue. For a young child who thinks in another language, we would honestly recommend a teacher who shares it — being corrected on a letter sound is hard enough without translating the correction.
Which European countries do you actually teach in?
Any of them. We are an online service with no local presence anywhere, so the only real constraints are language and timezone, and the European timezone could not be better. We currently teach families in Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Belgium, Denmark and Austria among others.
Can we pay in euros?
Billing is in US dollars — roughly €28 to €74 a month depending on frequency. Your bank converts at the day's rate and most European cards add 2–3%. There are no other charges and no minimum term.
Can you fit classes around Friday prayers and local school hours?
Yes. The one-hour gap between Central European time and our tutors means almost any slot you name is workable, including the late afternoon and after Jumu'ah. European families have more scheduling freedom with us than anyone else.
