Free Trial Quran Class for Kids in Ottawa
Free 30-minute one-to-one trial lesson — no card, no obligation.
Your free trial includes a full 30-minute one-to-one lesson with a qualified teacher, a level assessment, and a suggested plan. No card details, no obligation to continue.
Why Ottawa families start with a free lesson
Ottawa parents deal with two things at once: a community spread across Barrhaven, Kanata, Orléans and the west end, and winters that make any 6pm drive a gamble. A weekend programme downtown looks manageable in September and much less so in January. A free trial lets you test a lesson that never requires leaving the house.
The trial is 30 minutes, one teacher and one child. Your child reads aloud and is corrected as the mistakes happen. At the end you are told clearly whether they are still consolidating Qaida, reading with dropped harakat, or ready for Tajweed refinement.
Ottawa children come from Somali, Lebanese, Pakistani, Syrian and Egyptian families and mostly think in English or French. Explanation is in clear English, and the Arabic sounds are built letter by letter rather than assumed from what a child hears at home.
There is no Ottawa classroom. Every lesson is a private video class, so a snow day, a bus cancellation or a move across the city does not interrupt the routine.
What makes the class different
- Paced to your child, not a class averageOne teacher, one child, 30 focused minutes. Letters, sounds and harakat are corrected in the moment instead of being marked at the end of a group session.
- A slot you choosePick the day and time that fits your week. If something clashes later, we move the lesson instead of writing it off.
- Male or female teachersSay which you would prefer when booking. Both are available at the same rates and the same times.
- Truly one-to-oneOne teacher, one student, the whole lesson. Mistakes are corrected as they happen instead of going unnoticed in a group of twenty.
Class times in Eastern Time (ET)
Slots run in Eastern Time. Most Ottawa children take 4pm to 7:30pm ET on school days, with Saturday and Sunday mornings available; storm days are rescheduled rather than skipped. See monthly plans for what happens after the trial.

What Ottawa Families Say
Feedback from students and parents about one-to-one lessons with our teachers.
“We started with the Arabic letters and sounds, and my daughter was reading short words confidently within a few months of one-to-one classes.”
Khadija Y.Ottawa · Noorani Qaida “My teacher corrects me while I recite, rule by rule, so pronunciation habits get fixed straight away instead of sticking around for years.”
Kamran Y.Ottawa · Tajweed “Keeping the same weekly slot and the same teacher has made memorisation manageable, and revision in every lesson means earlier surahs stay strong.”
Amina Y.Ottawa · Hifz Program

Questions before you book
- Can we keep lessons going through the winter?
- That is usually the main reason Ottawa families move online — the lesson happens at your table regardless of the roads, so the year has no three-month gap in it.
- Can I ask for a female teacher for my daughter?
- Yes, on request, and she takes the trial itself so you can judge the fit first.
- Do siblings need separate lessons?
- Yes, because they are rarely at the same level, but they are usually booked back to back so one parent supervises once.
- How do I book?
- Send us your details through the form on this page or message us on WhatsApp. We reply with two or three available slots and confirm one with you.
- What time zone are Ottawa lessons scheduled in?
- Eastern Time (ET). You give us the times that work on your own clock and we match a teacher to them, including any daylight-saving changes.
- What do we need for the class?
- A phone, tablet or laptop, a reasonable internet connection and a copy of the Quran or Qaida. Nothing else needs to be bought or installed beyond a video app.
