Muhammad AreebFounder and Quran teacher
I teach every lesson at Tarteel ul Quran myself. That is the whole idea: you learn with one teacher who knows your name, your level and the letter you found difficult last week.
“Correct one letter properly and the next hundred become easier. I would rather go slowly and get it right than rush and build habits we have to undo later.”
Muhammad Areeb
- Noorani Qaida and Quran reading
- Tajweed
- Hifz (memorization)
- Quranic Arabic
- Islamic studies
How every lesson works
Every lesson follows the same simple pattern, so learners always know what comes next.
- Every letter, corrected live. You recite and Muhammad listens to every sound, correcting it on the spot, so mistakes never settle into habits.
- A clear syllabus. From the Arabic letters to fluent reading, Tajweed and Hifz. You always know what comes next and why.
- Progress you can see. Short written notes after lessons tell parents and adult learners what improved and what to practise.
- Lessons in your time zone. Regular slots around school, work and prayer times for families in the UK, North America, Europe, the Gulf and beyond.
- Safe for children. Parents are welcome to sit in on any lesson, and messages outside class go to parents, never to the child.
- Honest advice. If a different course, pace or plan would suit you better, Muhammad will say so.
From first message to first lesson
- Request your free lesson. Tell us who is learning and when suits you. It takes about a minute.
- Agree a time. Muhammad replies within 24 hours and books a slot in your time zone.
- Meet on Zoom. A relaxed 30-minute lesson: a reading check, a real mini-lesson and honest feedback.
- Get your plan. Leave with your starting level and a recommended plan. Join only if it feels right.

Questions families ask
Still unsure? Send us a message. Replies 7 days a week.
Who teaches the lessons?
Every lesson is taught by Muhammad Areeb, the founder of Tarteel ul Quran. He also teaches Islamic studies at university level. You will not be passed between different tutors.
Are the classes one-on-one?
Yes. Every lesson is live and one-on-one: one teacher and one learner. Siblings each have their own lessons, usually back to back, so every child gets full attention.
How do online Quran classes work?
You meet your teacher on Zoom for a live 30-minute lesson. The Qaida or Mushaf is shared on screen, your teacher listens as you read and corrects each sound as it happens, and you finish with a short note on what to practise.
Is the trial lesson really free?
Yes. The first 30-minute lesson is free and you do not need a card or any payment details to book it. You only pay if you decide to continue.
Which countries do you teach in?
Any country with a stable internet connection. Times are arranged in your own time zone, whether you are in the UK, the US, Canada, Europe, Australia or the Gulf.
What age can children start?
Many children start at 4. Younger learners need short lessons and a parent nearby. In the free lesson, Muhammad will tell you honestly whether your child is ready or would do better starting in a few months.
Which course should I start with?
If you cannot read Arabic yet, start with Quran Reading. If you read but want correct recitation, choose Tajweed. If you read well and want to memorize, choose Hifz. The free lesson confirms the right starting point.
How much do the lessons cost?
Plans start at $39 a month for two lessons a week. $55 covers three lessons a week and $85 covers five. Prices are per learner and the first lesson is free.
