Quran lessons that work with your child, not against them
Children with ADHD, autism or other special educational needs can learn the Quran well in one-to-one online lessons adapted to them: a predictable routine, a visual schedule, short 3–5 minute tasks, movement breaks and the same patient teacher every week. Parents can stay in the lesson, and progress is shared in a monthly report card.
Group madrasah classes can be overwhelming for children with ADHD, autism or sensory needs — noise, long sessions and little flexibility. Our one-to-one online lessons happen at home, in a calm and familiar place, with a patient teacher who adapts every lesson to how your child learns best. Parents can stay in the lesson and every lesson is recorded for safeguarding.

Frequently asked questions
Can you teach the Quran to a child with ADHD?
Yes. We keep tasks short (3–5 minutes), build in movement breaks, use lots of praise and quick wins, and keep the same lesson time each week so the routine becomes familiar.
Can you teach an autistic child?
Yes. Before the trial we talk with you about your child's strengths, triggers and what helps. Lessons follow a visual schedule, the same structure every time and the same teacher, with changes explained in advance.
Does my child need a diagnosis?
No. Many children are waiting for an assessment or simply learn differently. Tell us what works at home and school and we'll adapt the lessons.
Can I stay in the lesson with my child?
Yes — and for many SEN learners we recommend it at first. You can sit in on any lesson.
Can you follow targets from my child's EHCP or IEP?
If you'd like to share them, your teacher can keep lesson goals in line with your child's communication, attention or reading targets.
Are lessons recorded?
Yes. Every lesson is recorded to safeguard both students and teachers. Recordings are stored securely and only viewed if a concern is raised or you ask us to review a lesson.
