Maktab QuranTwo ways into the same maktab, each with five live 30-minute classes a week: the circle, capped at ten students, at $12 a month, and one-to-one with your own teacher at $60 a month. Both include the parent dashboard — attendance, the memorisation log, report cards and certificates — at no extra cost; we do not sell reporting as a higher tier. Every student starts with a free trial and no card is required. Payment is arranged by email, month to month, cancel anytime.
Key takeaways
- Two plans, each with five live 30-minute classes a week: the maktab circle (never more than 10 students) at $12 a month, or one-to-one at $60 a month.
- That is about 60 cents a class in the circle, and roughly $3 a lesson one-to-one.
- Both include the parent dashboard (attendance, memorisation log, report cards and certificates) at no extra cost.
- Every student starts with a free trial, and no card is required.
- Payment is arranged by email, month to month, and you can cancel anytime.
The circle, or one-to-one?
The maktab circle is how a maktab has always worked, and it is where most families start. Your child joins a batch of no more than ten students for five live 30-minute classes a week at fixed timings, with the same teacher each time. Classes are structured so every child recites individually and is corrected in every session. The daily rhythm is the point: a child who recites five short times a week builds fluency far faster than one who sits a single long lesson, which is why the neighbourhood maktab was built that way and not the other. Parents can read what to expect age by age in our guide for parents.
One-to-one is the same teaching with the circle narrowed to a single student. It suits adults, anyone working around an irregular week, and students who need to move at a pace of their own — towards Hifz, or through Tajweed they want dissected slowly. Your teacher hears every word you recite and corrects it as you go. It is not a better class than the circle; it is a different shape, and it costs more because one teacher's hour is spent on one person.
Why only two?
Most online Quran academies bury you in tiers and add-ons where the extra money buys reporting or rescheduling rather than better teaching. We keep it to two honest choices: the circle, or the same teaching one-to-one. Whichever you choose — complete beginner starting Noorani Qaida, a child building fluency, or an adult perfecting Tajweed or working towards Hifz — the teaching and technology are the same.
Affordable, wherever you are
Our pricing is shown in your local currency for transparency — US Dollars, Indian Rupees, British Pounds, Australian Dollars and Canadian Dollars. At roughly $3 per live one-to-one lesson — or about 60 cents per class on the Group Batch plan — Maktab Quran is a fraction of the cost of in-person tutoring.
Pricing questions
How do I pay for my classes?
Payment is arranged personally by email. Email us at info@maktab-quran.com, tell us which plan you want, and we'll send you the payment details that suit your country — then activate your classes as soon as it's received. There's no checkout page and no card stored on our site.
Is there a free trial?
You can create your account for free and explore the platform. Speak to your chosen teacher about a trial lesson before committing to a monthly plan.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. There are no long-term contracts — your plan is month-to-month and you can cancel whenever you like.
Do you offer family or sibling discounts?
We're happy to help families with more than one learner. Contact us and we'll arrange the best option for you.
How big is a group batch?
Never more than 10 students. Classes are structured so every student recites individually and is corrected by the teacher in every session — it is a real, teacher-led class, not a webinar.
Is the group plan as good as 1-on-1?
For the fastest progress we recommend 1-on-1, because your teacher hears every word you recite and the lesson moves entirely at your pace. The Group Batch plan is our way of making sure cost never stops anyone from learning — and you can upgrade to 1-on-1 at any time.
Can I switch between plans?
Yes. Plans are month-to-month, so you can move between the Group Batch and 1-on-1 plans whenever you like — just contact us or tell your teacher.
How are the other currencies calculated?
Plans are priced at $60 USD (1-on-1) and $12 USD (Group Batch). Prices in INR, GBP, AUD and CAD are approximate conversions shown for convenience; the amount billed is based on the USD price.
Is progress reporting included, or does it cost extra?
Included, on both plans. Parents get a login showing attendance, the portion recited in each lesson, fortnightly report cards written by the teacher, and printable certificates. Some academies sell reporting and rescheduling as a higher tier; we do not.
