A free trial Quran class is one real 30-minute lesson with a teacher, at no cost and with no commitment. In it the teacher checks your (or your child’s) current level, teaches a short part of a real lesson, and suggests a course, a pace and a schedule. At Quran Ayat you book with a short form, the team contacts you within 24 hours by email, phone or WhatsApp, and the class runs on Zoom. No debit or credit card is needed. Use the trial to judge the teacher, not just the price. Most of our students go on to our online Quran tajweed classes or a kids’ course after it.
Key Takeaways
- A trial is a real 30-minute lesson plus a level check. It is not a sales call.
- At Quran Ayat each student gets one free trial, and you normally continue with the same teacher.
- Bring: a quiet room, a laptop or tablet with Zoom, headphones, and a mushaf or primer if you have one.
- Watch for: correction of mistakes, patience, clear speech, and a plan for the next 4 weeks.
- Ask about: schedule, make-up classes, cancellations, teacher gender and fees before you pay.
- At Quran Ayat: no card needed, contact within 24 hours, and 25% off the first month after the trial.
What happens in a free trial Quran class, step by step
Before the class
- Book. Fill in the free trial form with gender, age and the course you are interested in (for example Quran reading basics, tajweed, memorization or Arabic).
- Confirm. A support team member or the assigned teacher contacts you within 24 hours to fix a time that suits your time zone.
- Set up. Install Zoom and test your camera and microphone. Zoom’s own help page explains how to join a meeting.
During the class
- Welcome (2 to 3 minutes). The teacher introduces himself or herself and asks about your goals.
- Level check (5 to 10 minutes). For a beginner: letters and short sounds. For a reader: a few lines of Surah Al-Fatihah or Juz Amma. For hifz students: what you have memorized and how well.
- Mini lesson (10 to 15 minutes). A real piece of teaching at your level, with corrections.
- Plan (3 to 5 minutes). The teacher suggests a course, lesson length (30, 45 or 60 minutes) and days per week. Students who already read usually continue in Quran tajweed classes online.
Our trial class is usually 30 minutes. After it, the student continues with the same teacher who gave the trial. We offer only one free trial per student, because of the large number of trial requests we receive; if a family asks for a second trial with another teacher, that lesson is paid.
After the class
You decide. You can continue with the same teacher or stop. There is no obligation.
10 questions to ask in the trial (and good answers)
| Question | A good answer sounds like |
|---|---|
| 1. What is my level right now? | A specific answer: “You read slowly, ح and ه are mixed, madd is short.” |
| 2. What will I be able to do in 3 months? | A realistic target, e.g. “read Juz Amma with basic tajweed.” |
| 3. Which book or mushaf will we use? | A clear choice that matches your mushaf. |
| 4. Who is my regular teacher? | A named teacher, ideally the one in the trial. |
| 5. Do you have female teachers? | Yes, for sisters and girls who prefer it. |
| 6. What if I miss a class? | A clear make-up or cancellation rule. |
| 7. How is progress reported? | A written report after every lesson. |
| 8. How long is each lesson and how many per month? | Clear options, e.g. 8, 12, 16 or 20 classes a month. |
| 9. What does it cost per month? | A clear price list, no hidden fees. |
| 10. Is the teacher qualified? | Al-Azhar study, ijazah or years of teaching, explained clearly. |

Red flags in a trial
- The teacher talks most of the time and you barely read.
- Mistakes are heard but not corrected, “to be nice”.
- Pressure to pay before the lesson ends, or a card required to book.
- No clear answer about who your regular teacher will be.
- The camera or sound is so poor that you can’t see the mouth movements in letter practice.
How to prepare a child for a trial
- Keep it short and positive: “You’ll meet your Quran teacher today.”
- Sit next to them for the first lesson, especially under age 7.
- Use headphones; a quiet room matters more than an expensive device.
- Do not test them the night before. The teacher wants to see the real level.
Children usually continue in our online Quran classes for kids or start with the Noorani Qaida course if they are beginners.
Parents who know nothing about online learning are often a little worried about one-to-one lessons, especially with young children. Some only believe it when they see it with their own eyes, and the worry stays with them until the trial ends. Then they see the difference: their child studies alone with the teacher, not in the middle of a group. In a group, a child can drift off, and a shy child never reads like the others. They also see the comfort of learning at home, with no driving and no bus, and the regular follow-up: the student gets a report after every lesson. That is usually when they change their mind.
What it costs after the trial
At Quran Ayat, Quran and Arabic plans with 30-minute lessons start at $40 (£35) a month for 8 classes (weekends) and go up to $80 (£65) for 20 classes (5 days a week). 45- and 60-minute lessons are also available. New students get 25% off the first month. See the full table on our fees and plans page and our guide to how much online Quran classes cost.
Adults who want to read well usually join Quran classes for adults. If you already read, the trial will show which tajweed rules to work on; read what is tajweed for a neutral overview before your lesson.
Final word
A free trial is the best way to judge an online Quran academy. Treat it as a real lesson: read, ask questions, and see if you leave knowing exactly what to work on next. Book your free trial Quran class today, then continue with our online Quran tajweed classes or any course the teacher recommends.
