What we teach

Qur’an, Arabic and Islamic studies, taught one-to-one

Every student gets a written plan and a fixed weekly slot with the same teacher, so progress is measured — not guessed at. Lessons run online, one-to-one, for children and adults.

Qur’an & Tajwīd

From reading your first letters to completing ḥifẓ — with correction on every āyah, not once a month.

  • Nūrāniyyah & beginner reading
  • Tajwīd, rule by rule
  • Ḥifẓ with a revision schedule
  • Ijāzah track for advanced students

Arabic Language

Classical Arabic taught the way it opens the Book — grammar you can actually use, not vocabulary lists.

  • Alphabet & handwriting
  • Naḥw and ṣarf from the classics
  • Reading unvowelled texts
  • Everyday conversation

Islamic Studies

The sciences as they are actually studied — a text, a teacher, and questions answered as they come up.

  • ʿAqīdah & the essentials of belief
  • Fiqh of worship, with the evidences
  • Sīrah & ḥadīth sciences
  • Uṣūl al-fiqh for serious students
How it works

Your first lesson is four days away

No application, no enrolment fee, no long form. Tell us who is learning and when you are free.

Tell us about the student

Age, level, and what you want to reach. Two minutes on WhatsApp or the form.

Meet your teacher, free

A 30-minute trial: they assess the level and you see whether the fit is right.

Fix your weekly times

Same teacher, same slots each week, set in your own timezone.

Get a monthly report

What was covered, what was memorised, what needs work — in writing.

Why Islam Tutors

There are many academies. What makes this the right one?

Any number of academies will teach you something in the first month. The question worth asking is what happens in the sixth — whether you are still with the same teacher, still following a plan, and still able to see that you are moving.

You will know exactly who teaches you

Most academies will not give you a teacher’s name until the lesson starts. Every teacher here is named on the site, with where they studied and what they hold.

One student, never a group

In a class of eight, a child recites for four minutes and listens for twenty-six. Here the whole lesson is theirs.

The texts themselves, with the evidence

You work through the actual books, in the order students have always taken them, and no ruling is taught without the āyah or ḥadīth it rests on.

Progress you can read, every month

A written report: what was covered, what was memorised, what is still weak. If a student stops moving forward, you hear it from us first.

Change teacher without a difficult conversation

Sometimes the fit is simply wrong. Tell us and we move you — no charge, no notice period, and it is not treated as a complaint.

The price is on the page

$10 an hour, $8 above ten hours a month, in your own timezone. No enrolment fee, and the first lesson is free without a card.

The teachers

You will know exactly who is teaching you

Most online Qur’an academies never show you a name. Every teacher here is named and ijāzah-certified, you can read their full CV before you book, and you can change teacher at any time if the fit isn’t right.

Students & parents

In their own words

One of the best teachers you’ll ever have. We went back to the basics and he made it very straightforward. He is also very well versed in Arabic, which was a real help in understanding the āyāt — so even a beginner who knows no Arabic can understand what they mean.

Abid Shah

Adult student · United Kingdom

He is very patient and friendly, and fluent in both English and Arabic. He picks a pace I can handle, and he can teach any book I can think of, from basic ḥadīth to complex fiqh. Alḥamdulillāh I completed 3 juzʾ in around 5 months, part time.

Ibrahim

Adult student · United States

The shaykh was very good and very patient with my children, and they made amazing progress with him in a short time. I recommend him to anyone who wants their children taught.

Umm ʿAbdullāh

Parent of two · United Kingdom

Māshāʾ Allāh, Ibrahim has been really helpful. My tajwīd has improved a lot since starting lessons with him. Very easy-going and flexible with re-scheduling, and very patient as well. A really good teacher.

Yassin Elouahabi

Adult student · Morocco

The ustādhah is very kind and a wonderful teacher. I am learning Arabic with her and I enjoy the lessons very much. Thank you, ustādhah.
