Maktab QuranLeeds has around 64,000 Muslims spread across a genuinely big city — from Harehills and Chapeltown in the north-east to Beeston and Holbeck south of the river. That geography is the quiet challenge of Quran education here: the right madrasah for your child is often a long drive across the city.
Live online lessons make Leeds' size irrelevant. A qualified teacher meets your child one-to-one on a synchronized Quran screen — no cross-city school runs, no fixed venue, just a consistent lesson time your family controls, with a free trial before you decide anything.
Why Leeds families choose online Quran classes
When your nearest strong Quran class is in Harehills but you live in Beeston, every lesson costs your family an hour of driving on top of the class itself — and in a big class your child may only recite briefly. Online one-to-one lessons return that hour to your evenings and multiply your child's actual recitation time. Leeds parents also like the visibility: instead of dropping off at a door, you can hear your child's lesson happening and watch their fluency grow week by week.
Quran classes for kids in Leeds
Our children's programme takes a young learner from recognising their first Arabic letters in the Noorani Qaida through to reading the Quran fluently with correct Tajweed. Every lesson is live and one-to-one — the teacher hears every sound your child makes and fixes mistakes at the moment they happen, which is precisely what a class of twenty can't do. Lessons are thirty minutes, timed after school, and happen at home where you can quietly listen in.
Which areas of Leeds do you cover?
We teach students across Leeds and West Yorkshire — Harehills, Beeston, Hyde Park, Chapeltown, Armley, Holbeck, Moortown, and out to Dewsbury, Batley and Wakefield. Same teachers, same standard, whichever side of the city you call home.

From Qaida to Quran — the full syllabus
Our courses cover the whole path: Noorani Qaida for beginners of any age, Tajweed for precise, beautiful recitation, structured Quran memorization with the sabaq–sabqi–manzil method, Tafsir for understanding what you recite, and Quranic Arabic for the language behind it all. Details on the courses page.
Women and girls learn with female teachers
A qualified female teacher — including our founder, who leads this side of the school — is available for every woman or girl who prefers one. Lessons happen at home at times that fit family life, which is why daytime slots are popular with mothers. See Quran classes for women for the details.
Built for teaching, not just talking
A Quran lesson needs more than a video call, so ours run on a synchronized Quran screen: teacher and student look at the same page with the current word highlighted live. Mistakes are caught the instant they happen and corrected before they settle. Read about the classroom on our how it works page.
Two plans, both honest
We keep money simple so learning stays the focus: a private 1-on-1 plan at roughly £32 a month (billed $40 USD) and an affordable group batch — maximum 10 students, everyone recites every class — at roughly £10 a month (billed $12 USD). Both include five live 30-minute classes weekly and start with a free trial, no card required. See pricing.
