What Should You Look for in a Female Quran Teacher?

Ask what her qualification is and where she earned it. Two are common for female teachers. An Alima has completed the full female scholarly programme. A Qaria is formally trained and certified in Quranic recitation and Tajweed, which matters most when a student is correcting how she actually sounds.

Our female tutors hold these qualifications. Each tutor's qualification, specialism, experience and teaching languages are published on our tutors page, so you can see who will teach before you commit.

A steady teacher knows exactly where a student is up to. At Ayah E-learning Institute each student is matched with one tutor who teaches all of her classes. If the pairing is not right, whether for level, personality or schedule, tell us and we will move her to a different female tutor.

Ask any academy what it does and whether it will say so plainly. Ours is set out in our safeguarding policy: parents may observe any lesson, lessons are recorded only with parental permission, tutors are not permitted to message students privately, and concerns go directly to our Founder and Director, Mufti Abdul Baseer. We also state plainly that we do not claim every tutor has had a formal background check.

Tell us when you book your free trial that you would like a female tutor. You do not need to give a reason, and it costs no more than any other class. Read more on our page for female Quran teachers, or see how families decide between a male or female Quran tutor.
