Become a Quran Teacher

Create your profile — after a quick review by our team, you'll appear in the Teachers directory. You can start teaching from your dashboard right away.

Maktab Quran welcomes qualified male and female teachers of Tajweed, Hifz, Noorani Qaida and Quranic Arabic. You teach live one-to-one lessons or small group batches over our synchronized Quran classroom — no commute, no marketing, no chasing payments. Students come to you through the platform, and you keep a transparent 50% share paid out monthly.

Female teachers are especially in demand: many families specifically request a female teacher for sisters and young children. Set the hours that suit you, teach from home, and grow a regular roster of students from the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, the Gulf and beyond. Read more about how teaching jobs and pay work.

This is the application form to teach Quran with Maktab Quran. You create your own public profile — country, languages, experience, specialties and weekly hours — our team reviews it, and once approved you appear in the teachers directory and can start live classes from your dashboard. Teachers keep 50% of student fees, paid monthly.

💰 How you get paid

  • You earn 50% of the fees paid by every student you teach.
  • Earnings are paid monthly — your first payment arrives 30 days after you start teaching, and every month after that.
  • You are paid online by your preferred method (for example bank transfer, UPI or Wise), which we arrange with you once your profile is approved.

An ijazah is a formal certificate of authorisation in Quran recitation, with a connected chain to your teacher. Answer honestly — saying no does not affect whether you are accepted.

What happens after you submit this form?

Your profile goes to our team for review before it appears anywhere public. We are checking the ordinary things — that the profile is complete and consistent, that your specialties match your experience, and that your stated hours are hours you can genuinely keep, because a teacher who cannot hold their slot loses students faster than one with less experience. We will contact you on the WhatsApp number you give, so put it in with the country code.

Once approved you appear in the public teachers directory, where students browse and choose their own teacher. We also match students to teachers directly when their needs line up with your specialties and hours. Your first lessons are usually free trials, and a trial that goes well is how a browsing parent becomes a regular weekly student.

Teaching itself runs from your dashboard in one click. Classes are 30 minutes on our synchronised Quran page, so the student sees the word you are on as you recite it. New to teaching online? Our guide on how to become a Quran teacher covers the qualifications, the equipment and a first lesson.

Sisters applying may want the page written for female teachers first — it covers privacy and what the demand actually looks like.

What should you put in your profile?

Four fields decide whether families click your card, and most applicants underuse all four.

Languages. List every language you can teach in, not only the ones you are most fluent in. A large share of enquiries are from parents whose child thinks in English, Urdu or Bangla and who need explanation in that language, not only recitation in Arabic.

Availability. Give real hours in your own timezone and keep them honest. Most demand sits in the evenings and weekends of the USA, UK, Canada and Australia, which for teachers in Asia, the Middle East and Africa lands in their own daytime and evening. Narrow, reliable hours beat wide, aspirational ones.

Your bio. Write it in English if you can, even imperfect English. Families read this to decide, and a bio they cannot read is a card they scroll past. Say who you teach best — young children, beginners, adults returning after years away — rather than listing qualifications alone.

The Ijazah question. Answer it honestly. Holding an ijazah is not a condition of being accepted — plenty of excellent teachers here do not have one, and families hire them every week for Qaida, beginners and children's classes. If you do hold one, attach it: our team checks the certificate itself before “Ijazah certified” is shown under your name, which is precisely why that line means something to a parent reading your card.

Frequently asked questions

What happens after I submit my teacher profile?

Our team reviews it before it appears publicly, checking that it is complete and consistent and that your stated hours are hours you can keep. We contact you on the WhatsApp number you provide, so include the country code. Once approved you appear in the teachers directory and can start classes from your dashboard.

Can I edit my profile after it is approved?

Yes. Your specialties, availability, languages and bio are yours to update from your dashboard as your schedule changes. Keeping availability accurate matters most — a slot you cannot keep loses students faster than a narrow one.

Do I need an Ijazah to be accepted?

No. An ijazah is not a condition of joining, and many of our teachers do not hold one. The question is asked because families look for it. If you answer yes we ask you to upload the certificate, our team checks it, and only then does “Ijazah certified” appear under your name — we do not publish the claim on your word alone. If you answer no, nothing is shown either way.

How much will I earn, and what do I need to qualify?

You keep 50% of the fees paid by every student you teach, paid monthly. Our page on online Quran teaching jobs sets out pay, equipment and what we look for in full — this page is the application itself.
