Online Noorani Qaida Classes for Beginners in the UK
Noorani Qaida is the essential starting point for reading the Quran — learn the Arabic letters and correct pronunciation through live, one-to-one online classes with a qualified tutor. Suitable for children from around age 5 and adults learning to read Arabic for the very first time.
What Is Noorani Qaida?
Noorani Qaida is a foundational online Quran course that teaches the Arabic alphabet, correct pronunciation, and the rules for joining letters into words — the essential building blocks needed before a student can read the Quran itself. It's the natural first step for almost every student, and the course this academy is most often asked to start with, opening with what's often called Noorani Qaida lesson 1 — the individual Arabic letters — before progressing through joined words.
This course is suitable for children from around age 5 beginning their Quran journey, and for adults of any age learning to read Arabic for the first time — including complete beginners and anyone who feels they've "left it too late" to start. If you've been searching for Noorani Qaida for adults online, know that a large share of our beginner students are grown-ups, not just children. Noorani Qaida makes no assumptions about prior knowledge.
Getting the foundations right matters: correct pronunciation and letter recognition learned properly in Noorani Qaida make everything that follows — Nazra Quran, Tajweed, even Hifz — considerably easier, since habits picked up early are far harder to unlearn later.
What You'll Learn in This Course
Every topic below is taught live, one-to-one, at a pace that matches the student.

Joining Letters & Reading Words

Understanding the short vowel marks and tanween that shape how each word is read and pronounced.
Reading Fluency & Confidence
Regular practice and revision until you can read confidently and are ready to move on to Nazra Quran.
