My child already attends a weekend madrasah in NYC. Is this useful too?

Usually yes, and often for one specific thing: pronunciation. Weekend classes are large by necessity, so a child can recite for months with the same recurring mistake. A private midweek lesson catches it and fixes it, without replacing the weekend programme.

How long is the trial for a young child?

Thirty minutes. That is the honest limit of concentration for most children under ten, and it is enough for a teacher to assess reading and show you how they teach.

Can two of my children try at once?

They each get their own trial lesson, usually booked back to back on the same evening so you only need to supervise once. They are assessed separately because they are almost never at the same level.

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 New York 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.

Why New York families start with a free lesson

In New York the problem is almost never finding a masjid — it is finding a class that survives the school week. A child in Bay Ridge, Astoria or Jamaica can be signed up for a Saturday programme in September and quietly stop going by November, because the subway ride, the after-school programme and homework all land in the same few hours. A free trial class is the cheapest way to test whether a private lesson at home would actually hold up.

The trial lasts about half an hour and is one teacher with one child. Your child reads, the teacher stops them the moment a letter or harakah slips, and they read it again correctly. Nothing is graded later and nobody is waiting their turn. By the end of the lesson you will have an honest answer about where your child actually is — which is often a level or two away from where a group class had them sitting.

New York classrooms are already crowded; this is the opposite of that. Teaching is in clear English, so a child raised in Queens speaking English at home is never held back by not understanding the teacher, while Arabic pronunciation is built from the letter up rather than assumed. Siblings are usually booked back to back so one parent supervises once.

There is no New York location to visit — every lesson is a private video class, which is exactly why a family in Staten Island gets the same teachers as a family in the Bronx.

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.
No payment details for the trialThe trial class is free and requires no card, no deposit and no subscription. If you do not continue, nothing happens.
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.

Class times in Eastern Time (ET)

Lessons are booked in Eastern Time and stay on your own New York clock through the March and November changes. The busiest children's window is 4pm to 8pm ET on weekdays, with wider choice on Saturday and Sunday mornings; if a school trip or a snow day gets in the way we move the class rather than lose it. See monthly plans for what happens after the trial.

“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.”
Salman T.New York · 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.”
Zainab T.New York · Tajweed
“Keeping the same weekly slot and the same teacher has made memorisation manageable, and revision in every lesson means earlier surahs stay strong.”
